Hi there

How do i make my spawner increase speed when playing the game longer?

Check out the demo for a variable speed spawner in this thread:

I made it for a game where the spawn rate increases every 10 seconds. The actors being spawned were moving in a straight line as in the demo, so I needed to change the spawn time while maintaining consistent gaps.

you could respawn a copy of the actor,a separate graphic.
This actor could have different times and speed

You can also just increment the value of a timer, then destroy and respawn the spawner, like this . . .

Make a game.attribute, let's call it 'X'.

Rule for the spawner:

Timer: After X seconds spawn your actor

- Change X to X-1

- Destroy

- Spawn the spawner

. . . . .

The demo I linked does what you are asking for. Did you try it and it didn't work? What was it that was going wrong with it?

Edit: Just noticed the bump was on Sept 4th not today, and that we're replying to a old thread. Oh well.
