When the character dies, an animation plays, and then the scene resets. What I want is that nothing moves/animates except the character and the life bar so I use Time.deltaTime = 0; to do this but it also stops my character and the life bar. Is there a way to force a specific animator to use real delta time?

So for those who have the same question, I've found what needs to be modified: On the animator Component, there is a drop-down menu named "Update Mode" which has three options:
- Normal (in-sync with Update method)
- Animate Physics (in-sync with FixedUpdate method)
- Unscaled Time (in-sync with Update method, but uses unscaled time)
Use the third one if you have the same problem as me. Also here's a picture from unity's documentation about the animator component:
EDIT: I don't know why is this happening but in my case I set Time.timeScale to 0.01f instead of 0 and then everything worked as I excepted
