Changing an attribute that a timer uses

dshoe

I have a timer that spawns enemies at intervals of the attribute "Spawn Timer" (every (Spawn Timer)) and I did a change attribute above it that lowers the attribute 0.1 every 2 seconds, yet it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any advice?

BTW can someone fill me in on the difference between change attribute and constrain?

change attribute is a one time thing. Constraining an attribute is constantly keeping an attribute to something or another attribute

So do you see whats wrong with my code then? =/ the part that changes the attribute every 2 seconds is before the timer that uses it, I guess I could kill the actor and then respawn it but that is a pain.

is the attribute a real attribute? it has to be cause interger attributes dont reconize decimal places

I sent you an email, but if someone sees this before I get a reply I'm still having trouble.
Again, I have a timer that spawns an actor every (Spawn Time), in the same group I have a timer that after 3 seconds changes the Spawn Time real variable from 1 to 0.3 but the first timer doesn't seem to notice the change. I have tried putting the second timer above, below, and inside the first timer with no success.
