How can I make an event occur every X points?

To make an event occur every X points, you can use the modulus 
operator. You'll need an event like this: 

Score("Player 1") MOD X points = 0+ 
Other conditions: 
-Commands 

Beware that this event will occur until the score changes or until one 
of the other conditions becomes false. 

Allow me to explain why this works. The MOD operator returns the 
remainder of a division, and, if a the remainder of a division is 0, 
then the numerator is a multiple of the denominator. Now, by virtue of 
the having something occur every X points, we want to check to see if 
the score is a multiple of X. If it is, Score("Player 1") MOD X points 
will return 0.
