So I have my event editor set to randomly pick an object every 2 seconds
is there a way to make that 2 seconds gradually decrease?

That's what I have set up
---------
For the record, I have 5 green objects at the top of a screen, and they spawn blue objects that move to the bottom of the screen. I need the spawning rate of the blue objects to increase. I've been working on this for a week and haven't figured it out yet... I'm a newb... :/
You could replace the "Every 2 seconds" event with an Alterable Value, and always subtract 1 from that value.

Yeah that's probably the best way to do it. Can use a counter if need be. You'll have to play around with values to time it right, as always subtract 1 obviously doesn't equal subtract 1 every second (it's faster). Does anybody know how the always add/sub 1 compares to the timer? I guess that would be related to the frame rate, but I don't have any numbers to go by.Quote:

So if your FrameRate is set to 50, "Always" = 50 times every sec.
But don't quote me. :grin:

How do you just put an alterable value in as a condition? O.oQuote:

What do I enter in the "Compare Two General Values" box
and how would I make that control the spawn rate of my object?
Sorry, when I said I'm a newb, I reallly meant it... lol.
Because when I click compare two general values, it asks me to do just that: compare two general values.
Which two values should I be comparing here?
Should I compare Alt Value B with Alt Value B (alt value A is already being used).
Use the following events:
+"Always"
--> Add 1 to Global Value A
+"Global Value A" = "100"
+Randomly Pick One Of Your Objects
--> Do Your Actions
--> Set Global Value A to "0"
To use the "Compare Two General Values" option, click on the top one and click on "Retrieve Data From An Object", choose Global Value A; on the bottom one type in 100, and click OK. This will compare if Global Value A = 100 (You may have to mess with this number - if your framerate is set at 50, this should work)
