    It depends on if you want it gradually over time of in stages. Answer that and I'll go in detail about them.

    Yes you an attribute to keep track of the count and you have to update it each 5 second cycle.

    Attribute speed = (speed you want to start with)

    Timer every 5 seconds

    Change attribute game.speed to game.speed +10

    In your accelerate behavior link the speed to game.speed

    Hey, I have a question about speed increasing over time too.

    My scene display snowballs falling top to bottom in a random way. I want them to fall faster and faster over time so I created an attributes for speed with a default falling velocity, then I added a timer with a change in this speed attribute every 5 seconds.

    It works perfectly, except that it seems to work only once.
    My scene begins at the default speed, then after 5 second the velocity increases to the Speed+x that I asked, then nothing more, the velocity remains the same.

    Do I have to set up a loop or something? I think it loop from the default speed attributes and goes like this

    Time(0)=Speed / Time(5)=Speed+10 / Time(10)=Speed+10 / Time(15)=Speed+10
    It always increases the initial value of my speed attributes and doesn't take in account the previous changes. How to fix that?

    Thank for your help guys
