Project Speed Slider Setting

Really depends. Some projects will probably work with 10x speed (animations) and some are designed for 0.1x speed (3d games).

This could be useful, but you could also have a scrolling variable inside the game and then just use the multiplication operator in each block that has time in it.

wait ((originalwaittimehere) * (speed)) secs

Then the user could just control it within the project. It would indeed take longer, but also, using something that speeds up the whole project not when it's in the code could lag it a lot. So I'll have to say no support.

Your workaround wouldn't work for, for example, my platformer.

Shift+click = Turbo-mode
CTRL+click = 2*speed! >>>

It's going to be a slider.

I like this idea.
Shortcut could be CTRL+Green Flag (brings up slider)

I'll add that.

No support, people should learn to edit their code or run specific segments of code when needed in order to test things.

Yeah, but then you'll more scripts and you'll forget and you'll have clutter. This will streamline things and it's not like it will make a whole project for you.

As a previous user said, you could separate the animation into segments each started by a broadcast.
broadcast scene 1, broadcast scene 2, etc.

Then when you need to view a specific scene you just broadcast that message.

This adds at most a couple broadcasts, and it also teaches you to make your code test-able.
