Help on Generator event

Question

Hi everyone. Has anyone played with Generator scripts? I have no idea where to look for help: except for several tutorials on Tom Krcha's website I can't find any documentation.
What I'm trying to do is launch JSX code every time the document updates. The problem is that this JS counts as an event and I'm getting an infinite loop. For now I put a timer check but I guess that is an ugly solution, because I don't know what time would take operations on different machines. Does anyone know if there's a different event I can use?
Here's my main.jsx:
(function () {
   "use strict";
   var generator;
   var i = 0;
   var lastOnChangeRunDate = getTime();
   function getTime() { return (new Date()).getTime(); }
   function init(gen) {
      generator = gen;
      generator.addMenuItem("fp", "test pludsfdfdsin", true, false)
      generator.onPhotoshopEvent("imageChanged", trololo);
      function trololo ( e) {
        if(getTime()-lastOnChangeRunDate<400) return;
        lastOnChangeRunDate = getTime();
        i++;
        var str = "doc = activeDocument; \
              tL= doc.layers[0]; \
                 tL.textItem.contents = "+i
        generator.evaluateJSXString(str);
   exports.init = init;

For documentation, the Github site is the best:
https://github.com/adobe-photoshop
Generator is open source, so Adobe uses github to post documentation and issues (as well as all the sources)
I wouldn't recommend trying to modify the document when responding to events for the reasons you mention. Generator isn't really designed for that. At the very least, you should be parsing the change (e), and only reacting to a specific change that isn't the change you are making.
You might look at the generator-assets source on github for some ideas on that.
