GHPython: Function to compare a value with a value a second before

[AndersDeleuran]

to have a component that indicates wether a Kangaroo solver is running or not.

This is an entirely different approach, but does just that:

Get Kangaroo Solver's status using GHPython script

That status message is in the Component.Message property, so you’d need to find the upstream component feeding into the input parameter of your script to access it. Here’s one way- solverstate_upstream.gh (9.5 KB) [image]

Edit: Also, have a look at the links here regarding solving what you were doing, they demonstrate different approaches to making persistent variables that will be useful for you GHPythoning

Improvement of "Data Recorder Rec"

Note that using a non-unique sticky key (i.e. "x") means that another instance of this GHPython component (or anything else that can access the sticky) can mess with this sticky value (leading to all sorts of potential trouble). A couple of ways around this: Get the guid of the GHPython component and append this to the key (example here), making the key value unique to the specific GHPython component instance (meaning you can copy/paste it). Or better yet: Use the if “foo” not in globals() …
