onValueChanged()

[Blackfoot]

The onValueChanged() function is called when a value is changed... getValue() returns the new value of the variable... is there a way to determine what the previous value of the variable was before it was changed?

When I need value recovery, I save it in a script local variable initialized in onInit and updated once the change is committed in onValueChanged (or revert to pervious cached value if necessary but be sure and set a flag to prevent event recursion if you restore previous value)

[Blackfoot]

I can try that.. so the answer to my query is.. once you've arrived at the 'onValueChanged()' function.. the original value is 'gone'?

Yes, that's correct. The "onValueChanged" event is fired after the value is changed.

As Bidmaron suggested, when I need to remember the "current" value, I store in a local script variable that gets initialized in "onInit", and updated in "onValueChanged".

Wow. Had forgotten about the tic tac toe sequence.
