Mark & Print Oculus data

[tianmoran]

Hi there,

I'm coding for an experiment but muddled with some trouble. My goal is to record the Oculus data(position, euler) every 50ms. At the same time, I need to mark some events, like below the events are 'cylinder is on', 'key pressed', 'cylinder is off'. So I put a variable called 'Event' and hope to change its value right after each event happens. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I kind of know why it's not working. But is there any solution on that?

Thank you so much if anyone would like to help me out!!!
