Storing price in a label?

Hoping someone can help me out with this. I'm trying to store the price(close) when the RSI crosses a certain value and store it as a label.
E.g., If RSI crosses the overbough line(70) get price and store it as a label.

Code:
AddLabel(yes, if RSI crosses below OverBought then AsDollars(close) else ????, Color.RED);

Is there any way to just store it once? This seems to keep updating as the price plays out. I would like to store it as soon as it crosses the overbought and hold that price level.

No, all variables must be updated for every bar/candle... The method is called using a "state" variable...
 
@magus one of the ways that I have seen for storing data and carrying it forward is with the barNumber() function.
Here is one example:

Is this somewhat of what you are trying to do?
 
Thank you @rad14733 and @MerryDay for the follow up responses. I'm coming from C# and javascript so sometimes my way of thinking doesn't translate to thinkscript.

in C# and Javascript there are things you can do to the system to trigger on events or run something on tick(update) only once.

Essentially what I'm trying to achieve is
  • start checking price once RSI reaches above 70
  • evaluate the last (x)bars since RSI went above 70
  • check which RSI level was the highest and store it
  • get a float price at highest RSI level
  • evaluate current bar, if RSI is now lower than the highest point, stop checking and set the float price at highest RSI level

See if this helps.

def floatclose = if rsi()<hrsi then hrsiclose else close;
AddLabel(1, hrsi + " " + floatclose );
