    Please don't type your thread titles in caps; it's against Forum rules/etiquette -seems like you're shouting anyhow. I'll change it for you this time.

    Hi, @DR.BUBBLES you'll see that the full stop in your Forum name prevents you from being flagged (+ it's a bit shouty again because you've made your name in caps) - perhaps consider amending it.

    For your problem, you'll need something along the lines of

    Rule: When Attribute scene.SceneFin is true
    Change Attribute game.FinalScore to game.FinalScore+scene.TotalTime

    I don't mean to sound unhelpful but if you're using a template and don't understand it maybe you need to learn GameSalad better before trying to alter an existing template.

    Or you could hire someone to change it for you.

    Hi again, @DR.BUBBLES (you really ought to change your name so it flags and any new posts on your own threads are emailed to you with the link... as @Thunder_Child suggested, maybe change it to DR_BUBBLES or ideally Dr_Bubbles (or even DrBubbles)... Not getting at you, just giving helpful advice!)

    Even if you've been using GameSalad for a while, you will more than likely surprise yourself how much extra you can learn by going through the manual and the Cookbook tutorials - both available from the Help button at the top of the Forum page. :smile:

    @gyroscope is right. I thought "oh yeah....no coding". For the most part this is true. You obviously are recognizing there is something else to learn instead....behaviors...attributes...techniques to use both to make your actors do what you want. The videos online...some outdated May still provide the over all scope of certain functions GS allows...the manual...and yes I believe in templates...the small ones...easy to tweet and tinker with. Not a full blown source code template of some RPG...fo shizzle. There is a learning curve. I'm still learning. Tons to learn. I'm a first year noob myself.

    Patience my GS brotha !! Don't think you will make a million dollars on your first app. If by chance you do....please let us know watcha did... :-)
