How to get system state during event handling?

General Usage

Hello everyone, I’m going through an example from the documentation about event handling during dynamic system integration.

using DifferentialEquations
function f(du,u,p,t)
    du[1] = -u[1]
end
u0 = [10.0]
const V = 1
prob = ODEProblem(f,u0,(0.0,10.0))
sol = solve(prob,Tsit5())
Plots.plot(sol)

At a certain step (t = 4.0), I want to get the state of the system, for this I wrote the following code:

check = 0
condition(u,t,integrator) = t==4
function affect!(integrator)
    check = integrator.u[1]
end
cb = DiscreteCallback(condition,affect!)

sol = solve(prob,Tsit5(),callback=cb, tstops=[4.0])
Plots.plot(sol)

I can not understand why the value is not written to the “check” variable? If instead of “check = integrator.u[1]” I write “print(integrator.u[1])”, then it works, and the value I need is displayed on the screen. And how to remember it in some kind of variable, so that later it can be used somewhere else?

Shot in the dark: probably a missing

    global check = integrator.u[1]

?

Good question, I’d expect some kind of parameter for user data, too.
