"Every" Timer -- Increase the Speed

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Is there a way to increase the "Every X" speed of the timer?

    I'm using some "typewriter text" code that creates the effect of spitting out text one character at a time. It's programmed like this: "Every 3 seconds," some text is printed.

    Problem is, I'd like to increase the speed of the timer. (Maybe tricking the program into interpreting "Every 3 seconds" as being "Every 2 second"?) I have hundreds of lines of this and I'd like to avoid adjusting each and every one. (I especially would like to avoid creating an extra counter and having the value tied that -- not until MMF supports a find-and-replace function.)

    I've tried "Every X seconds, add 1 second to timer" -- but this doesn't seem to do anything.

    Any ideas? Is there an extension that manipulates how the timer works (one that's compatible with Flash)?

    Thanks for your help!

    You can create your own custom timer using one object, or even just one global value.

    Should go something like this:

    Always
    Add 1 to Value A

    Then instead of your every X events

    Value A mod(time)+1 = time

    time: if your framerate is 60, a value of 60 would trigger every second.
