Support How to check if a GlobalNumericX changed it's value

[Gabotron ES 123]

So I'm trying to check if a GlobalNumeric just changed it's value on runtime, that's it if say it's value was 56 a few seconds ago but now it's 57.

 

How would that look like in KSoft?

Let's call the global numeric that you want to track GlobalNumericX. Make another variable which we'll call GlobalNumericY, and make sure it's given the same default value as GlobalNumericX. Then, at the end of your script, make a trigger that does this (psuedocode; I don't know KSoft's syntax, sorry):

 

If GlobalNumericX is not equal to GlobalNumericY:    The value changed, do somethingGlobalNumericY = GlobalNumericX

 

Basically, this causes GlobalNumericY to always hold the "old" value of GlobalNumericX, so if they're different then that means it changed.

 

Of course, it might also be easier in some cases to just do whatever you need to whenever you set the variable's value. (Plus that would save a global.)

Here's some KSoft-ey semi-pseudocode;

<Trigger>  <Branch>    <Condition Comparison>      <Param GlobalVariableX /> //main variable      <Param GlobalVariableY /> //variable to detect changes      <Param NotEqual />    </Condition>    <Action DoStuff />  </Branch>  <Action VariableOperation>    <Param GlobalVariableY />     <Param GlobalVariableX />    <Param Set />  </Action></Trigger>

If you want it to detect the change within the tick that it happens, put it at the bottom of your triggers. If you want it to detect it the tick after it changes, put it above where ever GlobalVariableX will be modified. If you want a few seconds delay, that gets a bit trickier.
