Check object's position?

Is there a simple way to detect a moveable object's x-position? I want to run an action when a certain object that is being moved by an Object->Transform action has reached a specific x-value.

    After some searching the forum, I stumbled across a solution where you can send a value to an AC variable from a script. This was the code I used, and then I made an action trigging a cutscene when the x-position was at my threshold.

    AC.LocalVariables.SetFloatValue (0, this.transform.position.x);
    AC.LocalVariables.GetVariable (0).Upload ();

    The Upload() function is only used for variables that are linked to PlayMaker or Options data.  Calling SetFloatValue should be enough.

    Can't you put down a trigger at the X point and have that trigger detect the object ?

    @ChrisIceBox  Ah, thanks. That makes sense.

    @klarax That might also be a solution. I got it working with the above code though, thanks.
