Howdy! Well, i'm trying to make a simple rythm game, spawning bullets at a specific time (the music beat) using a variable 'Timer'

[Every 0.1 seconds - Add 0.1 to Timer] (or) [Every Tick - Add dt to Timer]
[If Timer = 8.7 - Create bullet on layer at x,y]
The timer is working but the objects are not spawning, i tried to:

[Every 1.0 seconds - Add 1 to Timer]
[If Timer = 8 - Create bullet on layer at x,y]
And it worked but is not synced with the music because the object needs to spawn at 8.7... (Sorry about the bad english)

When you are dealing with floats your variable can become something like 8.6999999999998 instead of 8.7

So try using "Is between values" event:

"Timer is between 8.69 and 8.71"

.

Also, instead of this timer variable you can use time expression - The number of seconds since the game started, taking in to account the time scale.
