Question:

I was trying to make a OpenComputers compatibility addon, and encountered a problem with updating variable values.
When I was testing and used variable card directly referencing my value it updated corectly, but when I used a variable referencing that variable card it updated its value only when I reinserting the card.
Is calling invalidate on a variable not enough?

@LubieKakao1212 It looks like your re-creating the variable after invalidation.
Instead, you probably want to reuse the same variable, but call invalidate() if its value has changed.

I recommend having a look at the source code of Integrated REST: https://github.com/CyclopsMC/IntegratedREST/
It feels very similar to what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks, It almost works now.

Someone will answer your question soon. In the meantime, you might be able to get help more quickly on our Discord server.

I forgot about that possibility.

@LubieKakao1212 Could you share your code? It's a bit difficult to understand what could be going on.

In any case, the variables created from proxies should be a good basis to start from in your case.

I added you to my repository.
Please don't judge the cleannes of my code.
