I think it would be useful to have a last change option for "Define Previous
Value As". The default option updates the previous value every frame. The only
real use of this mode, from my experience, is to check if a value in the
previous frame is equal to the value in the current frame or not. Regrettably,
if I want to see if the last change to the value was positive or negative, I
better hope that the change happened this frame; if it happened in the last
one, the previous value will now equal the current value, making the comparison
useless. The only drawback to this mode I can think of is that the (Not) Equal
To comparison operator would be mostly useless, but if the previous value
defaults to the current value, then these operators can be used to check if the
value has changed since the option has been selected. I think this option would
be very useful if I'd like to find an X position without having to pause while
moving right in order to check for values that are greater than their previous
value; consider also movement that doesn't occur every frame / lag frames!
