How to control speed in a game?

I've done this with Tshirt once a long time ago.

I've set it up so that when Actor is destroyed it changes position to off screen.
I have the move behaviour, but I don't want it to move in straight away.

So i'm thinking i'm going to have to set move to 0... And set up random timers etc.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

    Give it an actor attribute that has the actors speed so you can change it when needed.(via rule)

    Or better yet, put the Move behavior in a rule that doesn't activate until you need it.

    What are you trying to accomplish?
    Are you wanting the actor to move off screen without anyone seeing it?

    How does the game know it's speed though?.. Instead of writing a number I use the att hey.

    I want to set up the actor so it stops and goes when I want it to.

    Set up a boolean attribute like GoOn, and then a rule on the actor: If attribute GoON = true, the actor goes to wherever you want him to, and when false, he stays where he is.

    But how do I make him stay?

    Many ways to do it, but one could be:
    If GoON=false , then actor->motion->linear->X,Y=0

    Simpler would be to make him do something when an action is triggered by a rule. In the opposite case, your actor will do nothing=stay where he is.
