You can do this with my objectScript() expression function, thanks to its built-in state dictionary. Something like this:

```auto
objectScript("args[0] if not args[1] or state['mx'] is None or args[0] > state['mx'] else state.mx\nstate['mx'] = __retv",
  {path/to/value/to/track}, {path/to/condition/boolean})

```

Note the buried new-line code that ends the expression and provides an opportunity to execute the assignment into the `state` dictionary.

The above passes the value through when the condition is false, then captures max while true.
