onUpdate a good place to set conditions?

I am wondering if the onUpdate call is a good place for me to set up things like this...

function starsStar2Behavior::onUpdate(%this)
{
	$starsStar2Pos = %this.owner.getPosition();
	
	if(t2dVectorCompare($starsStar2Pos, %this.laodPos))
	{
		$starsStar2Loaded = true;
	}
	
	if(t2dVectorCompare($starsStar2Pos, %this.waitPos))
	{
		$starsStar2Waiting = true;	
	}
	
	$starsStar2Mounted = %this.owner.getIsMounted();
}

    onUpdate should be used to update a current object already created. To setup an object you should use onAddToScene when the object is created.

    Check out this documentation:

    um, I am not sure what you mean exactly.

    These objects are all already created. so... you know. but thanks.



    I am thinking this is appropriate tho, anyone?
