[SKY]Event or function to run when variable is changed?

[bleakraven]

Hi TESA!

 

Is there any event or function that allows a function to run when a global variable is changed?

 

What I'm doing is that you get values added or deducted on a globalVariable and I would like a script function to fire when it reaches a certain number...

 

Cheers!

 

PS: Maybe I should have put this in script requests?

Hmm, Papyrus does so much stuff now I am not sure. But as far as I know, there is no event for that.

 

What I have done is make a quest script, and use the RegisterForUpdate command to make the script run once per second or two.

I considered that option, Willie, but won't that make my quest fire that script every couple seconds, leading to lag or performance issues?

No. The computers that can run Skyrim must be powerful, and your little script running every few seconds need not do anything if the variable has not changed.

 

Load the global, see if it change, if not, end.

That will not slow any computer down, especially if only run every second or two.
