Run function after updating values

Question

I'm writing a fairly basic plugin where I need to have a function run after the values of a point have been updated.
I'm doing this to change the point's values:
params[POINT]->u.td.x_value = FLOAT2FIX(pointX);
params[POINT]->u.td.y_value = FLOAT2FIX(pointY);
params[POINT]->uu.change_flags = PF_ChangeFlag_CHANGED_VALUE;
This works fine for updating the values, however any code that goes after this block is run before the values actually change. Is there a way to force the change to happen after I have set the new values or is there somewhere else I can put the function so that it will be run after the values are actually changed?

Hi Jesse Toula! welcome to the forum!
if you want the change to be instantaneous, you can use AEGP_SetStreamValue() instead of the method you're using.
there is no function that is guaranteed to be called after you change the values.
UPDATE_PARAMS_UI might get called, and also a render call is likely.
you can set a flag in the sequence data to notify yourself of pos-t change operations that need to take place in such occurrences.
personally, i'd go with the AEGP_SetStreamValue() solution.
