    Hi,

    I'm working on my first addon and I'm hit a wall. I am working on an addon that will be performing some calculations based on the distance traveled by the player's character. You can get an idea of what I am working on at my website http://5h0cktr00px0rz.org and specifically at http://5h0cktr00px0rz.org/?q=node/89.

    My current problem is related to determining what my OnEvent action will be. Ideally I wanted it to be related to when the player character starts and stops moving but this is not available as an event. I've been trying to discover what I could use in place of such an event or if there is a way to run the addon continuously.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you, -z

    You would need to use OnUpdate to check the player's position periodically and continuously. There's no indication that the player stopped or started moving.

    Thank you for the tip. I gave it a go with some modest success...

    Thanks again. :)

    I just thought I would drop a note to say that I have finally finished this AddOn, my first, and to thank the author for providing his help and ultimately his book. Thanks!
