Loops in Actor Events?

[Darkness-4ever]

Is there a way to create loops in Actor events without needing a periodic behavior to be checked by an event, but only usiing Event Timers? The reason I ask is because I am trying to make an attachment to a model grow and shrink constantly, but I can't seem to figure out how to make this action repeat using Actor Events only. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this specifically using Actors and Actor Events?

There is some way to create and trigger from timers locally within actors (or atleast was) but I do not know how. Thus the timer events.

Tried the timer events, and used a method that should have had them going in a loop:
Actor Creation
Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale1]
Actor Creation
Set Scale [1.25, 1.25, 1.25, Blend 1.5000 Seconds]
Timer Expired
Timer Name[TimerScale1]
Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale2]
Timer Expired
Timer Name[TimerScale1]
Set Scale [0.8, 0.8, 0.8, Blend 1.500 Seconds]
Timer Expired
Timer Name[TimerScale2]
Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale1]
Timer Expired
Timer Name[TimerScale2]
Set Scale [1.25, 1.25, 1.25, Blend 1.500 Seconds]
But dcoes not work, it simply ends at the final event and action in the list.
Edit: Sorry but Hive's auto-corrections won't allow me to put a space before the Actions, so it may be a little difficult to sort it out.

Try destroying a timer when an even expires and setting it again. It might have protection to prevent leaks that aborts the time creation instead of overwriting it and removing the old one.

Took your suggestion and applied it:
Actor Creation
|Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale1]
Actor Creation
|Set Scale [1.25, 1.25, 1.25, Blend 1.5000 Seconds]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale1]
|Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale2]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale1]
|Set Scale [0.8, 0.8, 0.8, Blend 1.500 Seconds]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale1]
|Timer Kill [TimerScale1]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale2]
|Timer Set [1.500 Seconds, TimerScale1]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale2]
|Set Scale [1.25, 1.25, 1.25, Blend 1.500 Seconds]
Timer Expired
|Timer Name[TimerScale2]
|Timer Kill [TimerScale2]
Unfortunately it still does not appear to work and ends at the same place as before. The only method I found for fixing this is through using behaviors with periodic effects that can be detected by actors, though I was hoping to create loops without requiring such a thing.

have you set the min and max scale in your model editor

The min and max model scales don't limit the scaling of it in the Actor, the scaling works, its the timer looping that doesn't.
