[ASM & Hex] Causing events to refresh after taking a certain amount of steps.

So my rom has a PickPocketing system in place right now that resets the potential victims every time you earn a badge or beat the E4 (not that the game is far enough in development for you to get to that point).

Basically when Pickpocketing someone, there are 4 possible outcomes: you get an item, you get money, you miss or you're caught and they battle you.

Once you're caught they cannot be battled again until their trainerflag is cleared.

Basically I want the game to clear certain trainerflags after I step a certain amount of times. (kinda like the VS. Seeker).

What I'm wondering, is if there is some sort of value that I can compare when starting a script that will determine if a certain amount of steps were taken since the last time I had interacted with said script.

This would be greatly helpful as I plan on adding a mining system that will have a similar method of re spawning resources.

example of what I'm looking for:

comparevar 0xSTEPS 0x(amount of steps since last interaction)
if 0x4(greater than or equal to)
goto @PICKPOCKETINGSCRIPT
msgbox @CANTPICKPOCKET 0x6
release
end

#org @PICKPOCKTINGSCRIPT
cleartrainerflag 0x(whichevertrainer)
......insert script here......

or even if there is some way for me to force the game to check steps and cleartrainerflags/flags manually. I'll take what I can get.

I just used the Daisy Oak script in FireRed for something else and it has a special command that gives some sort of cooldown before you can interact again. Her script is at 0x168DB9 and it checks var 0x4025.

I didn't even realize 0x4025 was a pedometer lol thank you very much. I decided to go with a different avenue for resetting Pickpocketing as there are several people that can be pickpocketed and reseting this var for one person would reset it for the rest, but I have quite a few systems I want to implement and refreshing one of them based on steps will be really useful.
