What im interested in is in a lua script that's changing a value from a address, that value is by default changing all the time.
When it reaches a certain float number, the script should be able to automatically detect and reverse its value to its original state, or just to a number.

That's about it. Is this scenario possible in CE?

Freezing a value is not always a option, so I need to somehow have a automatic process for that.

Thanks & cheers.

'easiest' is freeze the record and then change the value to
Code:

[value > 100 and value or 1]


this example will allow the value to change until it reaches 100 and then changes it to 1


---
alternatively use a timer or a codeinjection at the spot that changes the value

Apparently the application hates freezing and instantly dies.

But it's alright, timer worked!
The examples from the wiki Lua:Class:Timer are all that I needed. Should've looked earlier Smile
