Check if a variable was changed

[AlC]

Hey,

like the title said it, how can I check if a variable was changed.
So let's say I get a variable via SKIN:GetVariable('...') and now I want to check if the value is different like the value of the previous update.

Example lua:

Var= SKIN:GetVariable('SomeVar')

if Var ~= Var(previous) then ...

Any help would be nice.

Here's a method I use very frequently:

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
    LastValue = nil
end

function Update()
    local CurrentValue = SKIN:GetVariable('SomeVar')
    if CurrentValue ~= LastValue then
        LastValue = CurrentValue
        -- do other stuff
    end
end

Thanks Kaelri !

I had this in my mind but I couldn't strangely convert the !SetVariable-bang (from my mind) into Lua ... God!

And you should add this code with a little sentence here.

Ah, good idea. :) I'd forgotten about that thread.
