Detecting a counter change

[Asholay]

How can you determine whether a counter has changed, without having duplicate counters?

I have counters which are always set to other values via calculations... e.g. 'to hit' bonus = (strgth x4)+other counters, etc, etc.

For that reason, there are no events which actually adjust the counter, as it's all based on other counters.

So, how do I pick up on when it changes, so I can create a flash on the toolbar temporarily.

Fire an event whenever you change the counter?? I'll make an example if you just can't figure it out.

The counter doesn't change manually, that's my point, it's only adjusted via an 'always' event...

Can't you just use an alterable value of some object that never gets destroyed?

Ah, sorted - the solution is always easy once done...

Used the Alt Values of an object as suggested above - set to the various counters at the start of the level, then when it differs from the counters on screen, it actions the event and sets the Alt value to the same again...
