Default Move Edit Cursor to Play Cursor on Stop?

I'm using Reaper as a mtc/video slave. When I pause or stop playback on the main DAW, Reaper's video window always returns to the original Edit Cursor position (I want it to remain at the last received timecode position, which is where the Play cursor stops).

Is there a way to have a script sense when playback is paused/stopped and update the position of the Edit cursor such that it matches the Play cursor?

Thanks for your help!

i think you would reassign your spacebar to the pause action or assign it to Alt + Spacebar or such.

Thank you for your reply. Excuse me if I'm misunderstanding what you are suggesting but: the play/stop/pause buttons aren't being used on Reaper because the main DAW is generating the MTC and Reaper is following(the transport buttons on Reaper are never touched).

What I believe I need is a script or macro that will detect when Reaper is at rest and set the value of the position of the edit cursor equal to the value of the play cursor. Any ideas about how to accomplish this?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your reply. The realtime function Play_State is in JS. The Play position and ability to set Edit position is in ReaScript. I just don't know enough to put it all together.
