What I meant was, kinda like if you have a changing value in one file, right? And you want it to automatically update in another file without having to always manually do it yourself and without writing a script, can you just link/reference the changing value in the first file to a point in the second so that it becomes automated? Does anyone know where I can just find some info on this?
