Change speed of movement seems simple, not getting it

[mjcampisi]

Please see the events below. This seems so simple but I am missing something. When the dog and the cupcake (don't ask) have a collision, I want to change the speed of the Dog object to another value (either static or in a calculation such as current speed=speed+10). But even trying to set speed of the dog to 100 doesn't effect any change.

What simple thing am I missing here? I also would like to know what the syntax for changing the speed to the current speed plus a value.

Ok just found that I have to do set maximum speed? That worked but makes so sense. Whats the purpose of the SET SPEED function then?
