I am novice when it comes to programming so I quickly picked up Lua script. My only problem is accessing data using pointers.

I have this pointer:
Code:

      <Description>"Pos X"</Description>
      <VariableType>Float</VariableType>
      <Address>[pBasePointer]</Address>
      <Offsets>
        <Offset>60</Offset>
        <Offset>A4</Offset>
        <Offset>30</Offset>
      </Offsets>


Which as an example currently points to:
Code:
pBasepointer = 13bb0818
30 = 3a948218
a4 = 3be50020
60 = 3be50080


Yet when I try to use Lua script with the same address and offsets above, I get a completely different address.

I tried doing:
readFloat("[[[pBasePointer]+30]+A4]+60")

And got a completely different address and value. What am I doing wrong?

I think that this should work:
readFloat("[[[[pBasePointer]]+30]+A4]+60")

To access the "registersymbol" pBasePointer you need an extra pair of "[]". Hope that helps.
