Speed up an actor question
I'd like to speed up an actor that's already moving. So actor is traveling at a speed of 300. How do I get that actor to travel at a speed of 500, but continue on it's current path.
I've posted a picture of my code to see if someone has some ideas.

The first picture is the Actor, his job is to move down from the top of the screen, collide with the PlayerPaddle, then change a game attribute.
The second picture is the Ball Actor that I'd like to speed up. You'll see the rule is that when the game attribute = 3 then do the following; Accelerate, and change the max speed (to 500), otherwise, return to originial max speed (300).
Finally, the PlayerPaddle has a Timer on it to change back the game attribute from 3 (or any number for that matter) to 0.
1) My balls start doing crazy things in the game (flying all over the place randomly for those 10 seconds).
2) Am I going about this the correct way or should I change things up and try a different logic?
Thank you.
