reference prev value when using double.nan ?

[tatl]

if double.nan is spacing out your plots, how do you get the previous value that was a number?
here's the code i'm working with:

def lowPeak = if close[1]>close and close[-1]>close then 1 else 0;

def highPeak = if close[1]<close and close[-1]<close then 1 else 0;


plot lowPeakPlot = if lowPeak == 1 then close else double.nan;

lowPeakPlot.setPaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.points);


plot highPeakPlot = if highPeak == 1 then close else double.nan;

highPeakPlot.setPaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.points);


def higherHighTwo = if highPeakPlot > highPeakPlot[2] then 1 else 0;

addVerticalLine(higherHigh, "higher high", color.green);

the last two lines are the problem. it will never plot the green vertical line, even when there's a higher high, because highPeakPlot[2] isn't a number. I just want to be able to reference the second to last highPeakPlot that Was A Number . . .
not sure how.

This minor mod should allow your script to work how you want. There is an optional testbubble to help confirm

def lowPeak = if close[1]>close and close[-1]>close then 1 else 0;

def highPeak = if close[1]<close and close[-1]<close then 1 else 0;

plot lowPeakPlot = if lowPeak == 1 then close else double.nan;

lowPeakPlot.setPaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.points);

plot highPeakPlot = if highPeak == 1 then close else double.nan;

highPeakPlot.setPaintingStrategy(paintingstrategy.points);

def higherHighTwo = if highPeakPlot > highPeakPlot[2] then 1 else 0;

addVerticalLine(higherHighTwo, "higher high  " + highpeakplot + " > " + highpeakplot[2], color.green);

input testbubble = yes;
addchartBubble(testbubble and higherhightwo, high, "HP1: " + highpeakplot +"\nHP2: " + highpeakplot[2], color.green);
