Increase speed of actors with score/round

Adrenaline

Hi all,
In my game, I want the speed of an actor to increase every time the player scores 10 points.
How do I go about updating the speed of the actor only when the player scores 10, 20, 30, etc? I don't want there to be a limit, it should be able to go on forever (or until the player loses).

The actor has a Speed atribute, and the game has a Speed Modifier attribute.
I have a rule that changes the velocity of the actor's speed to self.Speed * game.Speed Modifier

Question 1) How do I allow for the Speed Modifier to increase every 10 points, with no end in sight?

Question 2) How do I get the actor to update it's velocity? It doesn't seem to be reacting to the changes in Speed Modifier. However, if I spawn a new actor after the Speed Modifier has changed, I notice the velocity difference. I just can't get the current actors to update their velocity after they spawn.

Thanks!

I'm considering having the actor spawn a copy of itself whenever the player scores 10 points, so that the new speed is in effect. This can't be the best way to do this, though

I'm exploring tables as an option here. I haven't used them before, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I'm beginning to think this can't be done. I have only been able to adjust the speed of each actor upon spawn, not mid-life.

If anyone knows anything about this, please chime in.

Thanks!

1) How do I allow for the Speed Modifier to increase every 10 points . . .

Store the current score in an attribute - let's call it 'LastRecordedScore'.

Then have a rule that says when the current score = ['LastRecordedScore'+10] then change 'LastRecordedScore' to the current score and increase the value of the speed modifier - eg: change speed modifier to speed modifier + 1

Maybe upload your project to mediafire (or wherever) and post it here - it will make it much much easier for people to work out the problem.

(strip out the unimportant scenes/parts/actors/image if you don't want people to see what you're working on).
