  Make an integer attribute called game.spawnChance. Then set up your rules as follows:
  
  Change attribute game.spawnChance to random(1,10)
  When attribute game.spawnChance < 2
       [spawn an actor... this is a 10% chance]
  
  or, When attribute game.spawnChance < 3
       [spawn an actor... this is a 20% chance]
  
  etc.

  Click the green actor to add 10% chance of white actor spawning the orange when you click it.

  Yes, so you'd want a self.spawnChance for each actor in that case. And actually, the attribute you want to change would be self.probability (for lack of a better name). That's the 2 or 3 in the rule I posted above. So more like this:
  
  Initially, set self.probability to 2.
  
  Change attribute self.spawnChance to random(1,10)
  When attribute game.spawnChance < self.probability
       [spawn an actor... this is a 10% chance]
  
  Then, later change self.probability to 3, which increases the chance to 20%.
