Time Parameters can't see output

Hello.
I recently bought this asset for Unity.
I can't use the output for TimeParameters like one of the examples, I have even copied and cloned the one in the example and I get the one without the output. Maybe I have to enable it somehow but I can't find how.

Hello oms64, thank you for getting in touch and for your support!

Apologies for the inconvenience, the Time Parameters node with that additional output is the old version of the Time Parameters node, which has not been fully removed as to not break any shaders that have been built using it.

We have decided to remove that output because it isn't the intended way of using this node, since any of the time parameters single float values are the most commonly used method for accessing Unity's internal elapsed time in seconds.

You may achieve the same distortion effect without making use that output by lowering the value of the constant in the Shield Distortion section, and tweaking the speed value generated in the Animation Speed section, in case that is the result you're hoping to achieve.

Please let us know if you have any further questions, thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the response.
Yes, I am actually trying to recreate that distortion effect of the shield and came across that detail. I'll look into what you told me.
