In a client tag change script, since you can specify multiple tags, how do I access the value of the changed tag? (in this instance, I only have one tag triggering the event).

Do I have to manually read the tag or is there a `currentValue` that I can read?

You get essentially the same objects in the script context that you get for a [gateway tag change event](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Event+Scripts#GatewayEventScripts-TagChangeScripts) (project, not on the tag).

Use `dir()` in your event script if in doubt.

Since I only have the one tag it looks like `newValue.getValue()` or `event.getCurrentValue()` would be what I'm looking for.

In the case with multiple tags, one would have to check the tag path via `event.getTagPath()` if things are conditional based on the tag. However, in that case it may just be easier to use 2 different tag change scripts and a shared script in the project library... but I digress.
