Plot Daily High & Low Lines upon Trigger

HI!
Would like to have the day's high and the day's low plot if the zscore crosses its average
as found here.
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/z-score-upper-indicator-for-thinkorswim.3896/

The lines should plot when the trigger occurs and stay static.
Only change on the next occurrence of the trigger.

Sorry if I´m not that clear, my english is not the best!

Thanks in advance.
Ruby:
declare upper;

input price = close;
input length = 20;
input ZavgLength = 20;

#Initialize values
def oneSD = stdev(price,length);
def avgClose = simpleMovingAvg(price,length);
def ofoneSD = oneSD*price[1];
def Zscorevalue = ((price-avgClose)/oneSD);
def avgZv = average(Zscorevalue,20);

#Compute and plot Z-Score

DEF avgZscore = average(Zscorevalue,ZavgLength);
#avgZscore.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.LINE);

DEF Zscore = ((price-avgClose)/oneSD);

#Plot zero line and extreme bands
DEF zero = 0;
DEF two = 2;
DEF one = 1;
DEF negone = -1;
DEF negtwo = -2;
def three = 3;
def negthree = -3;

def condition1 = zscore crosses above avgZscore and avgzscore < -.75;
def condition2 = zscore crosses below avgZscore and avgzscore > .75;

# Plot arrows
plot UArrow = if condition1 is true then 1 else 0;
UArrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.white);
UArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Boolean_arrow_up);
Uarrow.setLineWeight(4);
plot DArrow = if condition2 is true then 1 else 0;
DArrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.white);
DArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Boolean_ARROW_DOWN);
Darrow.setLineWeight(4);
