Alex, I need help

Hello, I have 2 questions.
1. How do I make a help trigger work. I can't seem to get text to display on the screen.
2. How do I adjust the time on a time travel bonus?

There is a way to change the time bonus length. Select a Time bonus powerup, press F3 and add a dynamic field. Enter the name as "timeBonus" without quotes and the value is the time bonus in milliseconds (e.g. 6 secs = 6000, 2.55 mins = 175000). Then click OK then Apply. I found this out by looking at the level Skee Ball Bonus. I hope that helps you!marbleman

Oh, hmm, you will have to do the same thing as with the time bonus, then - add a dynamic field named "text" and put whatever you want it to say in there :)Sorry about that, its been a while since I made any MB levels -.-;;

There is a place to submit text, but only if it's a ready-made trigger. I never knew you could make your own!-Hen

2) The bonus is always 5 seconds, there is no option to adjust it - I usually just put several of them near each other if I want a longer bonus, and shorter bonuses probably wouldn't make it worth going off the path to get the powerup.
