How to use time, when timeScale is 0?

Question

As the title says, I'm trying to use time when timeScale is 0.

To example :

 float score;
 
 void Start()
 {
     Time.timeScale = 0;
 }
 
 void Update()
 {
     score += time.deltaTime;
 }

This doesn't work since time.deltaTime = 0 because time.timeScale = 0

Is there any alternatives to this? :)

Thank you ^-^

It depends on what you are doing, but you could try Time.unscaledDeltaTime or Time.realtimeSinceStartup.

unscaledDeltaTime ignores the current timescale and realtimeSinceStartup counts using the actual time since the scene was started. Hopefully one of those works for you.
