Wow it's so embarrassing that I need help with something as simple as this ._.

I wanna have it so that to start with, obstacles don't appear very frequently, but after a while they increase in frequency. I know how to do it with loads of "if" blocks, but I want it just one block. For example, to make the chance decrease, it's;

wait (round ((timer)/[5])) secs

How would I go about making the opposite of this without using multiple "if" blocks?

(I'm gonna kick myself when I find out just how simple it really is).

EDIT: I think I have it. I'll just test it and if it's right I'll ask for this to be closed.

EDIT2: Okay the good thing: my method worked. The bad thing: how the heck did I not think of this?! xD Thanks Paddle ^^
Well that was embarrassing.

The loads of if blocks might be the only way hmm

when gf clicked
set [chance v] to (100) //insert any value
repeat until <(chance) = (10)>
 change [chance v] by (-1)
 wait (pick a random (0.75) to (2)) secs
end

when gf clicked
forever if <(pick a random (1) to (chance)) = (1)>
  do stuff

why doesn't the pick a random block work of the forums?????

What about this?

when gf clicked
set [a v] to (5) // This changes the amount of time it starts with for the waiting.
forever
wait ((round(a)) - ((round(timer)) / (5))) secs
do stuff...
change [a v] by (0.4) // This changes how much the amount of time changes.
end

It works! I tested it. At some point, it will stop getting to be a smaller amount of time, although by that time you'll probably have a game over.

You could just make the wait time proportional to the reciprocal of the timer....

wait ((50) / (timer)) secs
