alright then tony, do you have any prior force power creating experience? because i'm afraid it'll be pretty hard. however if ur really interested and we can work together, this'll be the most revolutionary force power ever created. leave your e-mail address and i'll get back to you ok?

.. someone has to bring this up every WEEK, don't they?.. why not try displaying several weeks worth of threads, and you'll find a few threads that have already mentioned it, including details on how you could do it. Learn cog and make it yourself, no one's going to hold your hand.

splitpsychjedi - if you want bullet-time, tun on slowmo.

Thats the closest your going to get, unless you do it yourself.....

What you need to do is edit every gun and force so that it alters the firespeed / and firerate when it recieves a trigger. That same trigger should alter your move speed -Use something like SetActorExtraSpeed(player, -1.5); and alter the gravity.

+

Use the slowkeys that Cave_Demon posted.

I'm definately to lazy to do that, but heres a small cog to demo the 'concept'. I wouldn't use this one because I already see one major flaw... projectiles slowed during bullet time would not speed up when normal time resumed.
Code: 
# FORCE BULLET TIME  v0.1
symbols

thing       player                           local

message     startup
message     activated
message     pulse
message     trigger
message     timer

end

# =====================================

code

startup:
   player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
   BTIME = 0;
   Return;

# .....................................

activated:
   if(BTIME == 1)
   {
   Return;
   }
   BTIME = 1;
   SendTrigger(-1, 987654, 0, 0, 0, 0); 
   Return;

# .....................................

trigger:
   if(GetSourceRef() == 987654)
   {
   Print("BULLET TIME TRIGGERED FOR 30 SECONDS");
   BTIME = 1;
   SetTimer(30);
   SetPhysicsFlags(player, 0x40000);
   SetPulse(0.01);
   }
   Return;

# .....................................

timer:
   SetPulse(0);
   ClearPhysicsFlags(player, 0x40000);
   Print("NORMAL TIME RESUMED");
   BTIME = 0;
   SetActorExtraSpeed(player, 0);
   Return;

# .....................................

pulse:
   SetActorExtraSpeed(player, -1.5);
   SLOWME = FirstThingInView(player, 179, 30, 0x8);
   SetThingVel(SLOWME, VectorScale(GetThingLVec(SLOWME), 0.75));
   Return;

# .....................................

end
