i need something where if a variable updates it does a set script

Behinding

its complicated but i just need this for something I'm working on

Store the value in a different variable and wait until they don't match. Then set the second variable to the new value and run your code. Add a loop around that.

run a cluster with var

In a forever loop,
1. Store your variable in a temporary variable.
2. check if the variable does not equal the temporary variable, if it does not, run the custom block with your set script.
This will loop every frame, checking for updates.

can I have a visual on this

forever
set [stored value v] to (variable)
if <not <[stored value] = [variable]>> then

end

For some reason the variable blocks didn’t show up. Just put whatever scripts you want inside the if check. Let me know if this helps.

It should be a wait until, not an if.

As a general rule of thumb with scratchblocks:

[x] shows up as a text field that says “x”
(x) shows up as a reporter or a variable named “x”
[x v] shows up as a rectangular drop-down menu with the label “x” being shown
(x v) shows up as a round drop-down menu with the label “x” being shown
