Change actor speed depending on level
I'm creating a game similar to Zombie Smasher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moistrue.zombiesmasher and I'm a Gamesalad virgin so I have ran into multiple issues. One issue I have ran into is changing the actors speed deepening on the level. The problem with dragging instances on the screen is that I have to have many actors for other levels and I want the actors to be random not the same exact ones and same amount of each. I use a spawner for the current level I'm working on (1st level) which spawns them randomly in specific positions, and currently my prototype zombie has the same speed, and I want to use the same actor and not drag instances on the screen. Tshirtbooth did a tutorial on changing attributes using tables, but he didn't show using it to change actors speed based on level. I apologize to ramble,but I'm 17 and I'm just trying to give the most information I can. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Create a new integer game.attribute called Speed.
Everytime you change scene, on your new scene you put in a invisible actor with a change attribute game.levels to (the potential extra speed you want)
On your Zombie actor.
Move/accelerate or what ever behavior you are using
Speed (100+game.Speed)
The 100 (or whatever you want) is the Zombies base speed. The game attribute "speed" then controls the extra speed you want. So when entering a new level - All you have to do is change the speed attribute.
Hope it makes sense
Name them Speed
..Level
They should be both integers
Have the actor use a variable
"I usually use this method and works too!!"
If game.level = 1
change attribute
game.speed to 100
________________________________________________________
If game.speed = 100
do
move to
Accerate speed should
be changed to
100
Do that on of course a different actor.
Continue it on
If game.level = 2
change attribute
game.speed to 200
If game.speed = 200
do
move to
Accerate speed should
be changed to
200
You should get the point.
