    I am currently trying to find a way to very gradually increase the speed of my character, so the game becomes more difficult for the user the longer they play. I have seen posts about this being quite simple to conduct in previous buildbox versions but I have had no luck in buildbox 3 - I understand it is still in beta! I have experimented with the 'move' node but there doesn't seem to be a way to increase speed gradually (not that I can see). I am wondering if something like this has to be implemented via the script feature? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! :)

    Click your World, see the settings. Time Warp, Sub Steps, and Time Step.
    These should be the settings you want to play with. Not sure though if they are fully implemented in the Beta.

    Thank you for the reply!
    I have been having a play around with the different settings you mentioned. I didn't manage to sort the problem with the settings but I did manage to sort it out via another method!

    *Writing this to help other people who may have been trying to gradually increase the speed of a character in BB3*

    I went into the character/actor mind map (double clicked on the character) and added a 'Move' node - set to something very low (play around with the value. I then added a delay - found in the advanced menu - and connected it to the start. Then connected the move node to the delay. I repeated this an embarrassing amount of times with staggered delays and the move node gradually increasing in speed. This meant that the character would gradually move faster and faster until it reached the last move node speed. This could also work to gradually decrease the speed of a character/actor.

    I tried it too with different move nodes and calculating the amount of time the user could play that world and it worked too..
