Event when emulation variable changes

Hello,
I am making an emulation model, and I would like to do a series of actions only when a variable is set to 1, but I don´t find the way.
Wheter I use an element of type "Wait for event" or "Event-triggered source", the options are the same:

If I select any of them, I don´t have the option of "exact value" or something like that.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

If you are talking about the variables of an emulation connection.

The events for those are generally inside the emulation GUI. If you want to trigger a process flow, you could use a message for that.

If you mean the emulation variables from process flow, then you can use either the "On Set" or "On Change" event.

With "On Change" you can use the option "Arrive at Value" to only trigger for a specific new value.

For "On Set", you can specify that the "New Value" event parameter has to match a given value.

Thanks Felix.

With the first option I can fix this section but two things:

-Option 2:

with "On Change" there are not the same possibilities.

-Option 3:
with "On set" it does not work for me. I tried that and a token is not created when the variable is to 1.

I see. I only checked the process flow variables events while they are not connected to an emulation variable.

Sadly I don't have a testbed available right now to check why the "On Set" event isn't firing. Does the "On Change" event work if you set the "New Value" to match 1?
