Hi All!
I recently learned to use Python in Houdini. This is my first attempt to create a tool that includes some lines of code.

Description
Detect the frame at which attribute reaches given conditions. Then create and store attributes on points:
• @startframe attribute corresponding to the frame the change occurs.
• @triggered attribute corresponding to based on point's state.
If @startframe's value match current frame, @triggered is set to 1.
• @id attribute sorted by point's start frame.
• Node Type: SOP.
Features
• Condition to reach to trigger computation
• Visualizer for @startframe, @triggered and @id attribute.
• Dynamic label that return simulation data (@startframe of the first and last point to be computed).
Use cases
• Synchronize animations or simulations(drive switches, trigger simulations one after another,...).
• Get additional data from animation or simulation (@startframe can be used to determine age, life, contamination speed, ...)
