pretty much what it says. i was asking in other topic, but i guess it went too much offtopic and i did not get reply.

i know that hotkey for button is like this

Not really sure what you're asking and why you think this is button specific code. (CEButton14Click is just a functionname, not a button)

anyhow:

thanks. i got it now. im just having problems understanding lua. it was quite stupid question really, but im all new to lua.

I have another question. what would be the function to toggle freeze of the value instead of specific value?
like if i want to write a hotkey function that freezes/unfreezes the value at specific address/pointer ?

3 methods
1: just toggle the freeze property of a memoryrecord

2: create a timer that sets the value every time it executes and then enable/disable the timer to freeze/unfreeze

3: create a thread in an infinite loop that sets the value to the address. Use a variable to determine if it should set or not

3b: same as 3 but instead of a thread use an infinite loop and use processMessages to prevent freezing (Stupid method)

im still beginner in lua. can you plz show me example of whichever you think would work best?

First two options work the best
3th one is a bit more complex and more cpu intensive

1: Just add a memoryrecord to your cheattable and assign it a toggle hotkey (rightclick, assign hotkey)
Alternatively, get the addresslist (getAddressList() ), then get the memoryrecord from the addresslist(e.g: addresslist_getMemoryRecordByDescription(addresslist, description), then call memoryrecord_freeze(memrec) to freeze and memoryrecord_unfreeze(memrec) to unfreeze

2:
