Reset time when restarting layout?

Am I just doing something wrong, or does the "Every X Seconds" not reset when you restart the layout? The problem is I have some enemies that fire bullets every 3 seconds, but if I restart the level in, say, 2.8 seconds, they start firing too soon when the level begins.

Is there a way around this?

I think youmay need to choose Reset Global Variables.

Failing that, just have a clock function made from Every X Seconds anda variable that has 1 added to it every time.

Cheers, will do. Should be fairly easy to just use mod on the timespan for this. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.

Am I the only one who finds it a little strange that it doesn't reset to zero when the level restarts? I'm surprised people haven't run into more problems with it.

A global variable is supposed to be "Global" , It would only restart when all the system would restart , not when a layout restart ...

And adding a little event isn't too much ;)

Cheers
