Well I think you should make a global attribute called speed. set it to 1 whenever you dont need it. then you go into all moving actors and change their speed to (for example) 100*speed. If you tell an actor to move at a speed of 100 the speed attribute number won't affect it (100*1=100; 123*1=123). when you set your speed attribute to 0.5 all actors will move slower (100*0.5=50; 123*0.5=61.5). you can speed up and slow down all actors in the game this way. i hope you understand what i mean. simply use a speed attribute which influences all actors in the game. good luck!

Yep, this is what I do... game.Speed and game.Multiplier. So an actor moves at game.Speed*game.Multiplier or just game.Speed if I don't want it to be affected when I speed up or slow down all other actors.
