Change values on character moves

I wold like to update some value according to my character moves or position, how can I achieve this?

10X! 

You can add actions directly to character animation frames or there's the option called "start action after animation is finished" and you can link some actions there.

There's no event handler for walking as far as i know tho you can get the information via this line of code

game.CurrentCharacter.State

Where 2 is standing & 3 is walking. So you can create your own with the main loop.

In general the link you provided is very useful.

I am trying to achieve a fixed text that show the player "depth water level". 

That level is changes according to the character position.

Any way, I try your suggestion .

Thanks again.

Please try to include more details when asking for help mate. Your initial post didn't really provide much information on what you wanted other than something to do with values & movement.

Are you talking about a percentage value between 2 points or values determined by range values? i.e: if character is > 100 and <= 200 then character is x distance down? Or do you just want to display the actual y position of the character? If it's the latter then you could use the Lua mainLoop function to update & store the y position of the character inside of a value. You can use the same method as the playtime thing for displaying the value.

As a solution I was using this Lua code combined with main loop:

I don't understand what your calculations are doing, then again, math has never been something I've been very good with.

So the character swims horizontally in this scene as opposed to vertically down?

x = horizontal

y = vertical

Anyway... quick note: you could shorten the script by a few lines if you wanted. There's really no need to declare variables for everything & there's no need to use the old getObject method either.

level = -1 * (255 + (game.CurrentCharacter.Position.x / 1000) )
level = round(level, 2)
Values["water_level"].String = tostring(level)

You are the best...!
