    Im curious if there is a way to make an actions last longer?

    For example I'll have an action, a powerup magnet (to collect coins) in the game and if the player collects enough coins id like them to be able to use those coins (in-game purchase) to extend the life of the powerup magnet, so that the next time they collect a powerup magnet in the game the duration lasts longer.

    Are there any tricks to achieve something like this? It give the user a better experience and make the game more monetizeable and can be used for other things like invincibility, etc...

    Sincerely,
    Michael

    with this current version of Buildbox an action has its own "lifespan" and it's not affected by another action.

    Likely, if I did not understand wrongly something of that sort can be achieved with BB 2.0 (using an observer). Let's see when we can try it... ;)
