I’m trying to make a game thats like Jetpack Joyride, which is basically a character moving, and every 10 seconds, the value would increase and keep increasing forever until the game ends.
Use a Timer.
I’m learning blueprint, so I may have some trouble. There isn’t anything specifically called “Timer”, however, I assume to use the “Set Time by Event”, but what should i put in? The output says “return value” (Time handle structure) and the execute pin. So im not sure how to put out a float towards the speed. So basiclaly, i dont know what to do with the timer thing.
Speed? What are you trying to do?
Ok, so I have an object that keeps going in one direction, I want to make it so every few seconds, the speed gets faster and faster. What I have set up right now, is the movement input and event tick. Keep in mind, the player does not move the object as it moves itself
Since I’m not at my computer, I’m going to have to write it down:
Are you using a character movement component? Is so:
- Connect “Begin Play” to a “Set Timer by Event” where you check “Looping” and set the time to 10.0
- Create a custom event and connect it to “Set Timer by Event”.
- In this event just increase the “Max Walk Speed” of the character movement component.

Thank you so much! I got it all working! I didn’t know I needed to use “Max Walk Speed” even though I started off complete scratch and used a random object.
