Default Lua Get JSFX Values

Is there any way I can read JSFX values from Lua ?

a) They're FX parameters, so you can use retval, minval, maxval = reaper.TrackFX_GetParam(track, fx, param), or

b) Use the gmem functions to have your JSFX store data in memory and then the Lua script can read it directly from there.

Thanks that works good ! if I put that in your GUI how would I get it to loop so it's always reading the JSFX parameter while the GUI is running ?

You can start a defer loop yourself, or provide a function for the GUI to run on every update, and then have that function do the polling and update the GUI when there's a change.

Code:
local lastJsfxValue
local function watchJsfx()
  local jsfxValue = howeverYouGetTheValue()
  if jsfxValue ~= lastJsfxValue then
    updateStuffWith(jsfxValue)
    lastJsfxValue = jsfxValue
  end    
end

GUI.func = watchJsfx

-- GUI.func will run on every loop
-- Use this to set the poll time in seconds:
GUI.freq = 1.5
