Part of a code using 6.2 is:

OK, I guess the earlier entered lines didn't cause the same error, as they were identical in structure.
What is the more appropriate way to code the the memoryrecord_getValue() line?

It might work because often (not always) the parameters are counted from the last given parameter and back
Anyhow, read main.lua to see how to call memoryrecord_getValue

memoryrecord_getValue only takes 1 parameter, the memoryrecord object, and returns the value as a string. So you probably want

Ok
The command returns the address of the table object, tha is why I uded the descriptor, perhaps goldmemrecaddress?

Are you sure that both strings are the same? (e.g. no invisible characters)
Normally what I do is to copy the Description from the table and copy it to the code
EDIT:
I understand the error comment, take the addresslist OUT OF THE memoryrecord_getValue() line

thanks Mother of hack

Another question using the same scripted lines

maxhpaddress = addresslist_getMemoryRecordByDescription(addresslist, "Max HP")
maxhp = memoryrecord_getValue(maxhpaddress)
curhpaddress = addresslist_getMemoryRecordByDescription(addresslist, "Cur HP")
curhp = memoryrecord_getValue(curhpaddress)
if curhp ~= maxhp then
memoryrecord_setValue(curhpaddress, maxhp)
end

Is there another way than with the above type coding to hold a value constant(like the check box on the table)?

This code should freeze the hp value to the value of Max HP (You can also do this without any kind of lua coding, check the checkbox and then change the value)

lol, I realize one could use the check box. I was referring to a code.

It seems that this code would freeze the value and not let it change. Would something like this work?

addresslist = getAddressList()
curmp = memory_getValue(addresslist_getMemoryRecordByDescription(addresslist, "Max MP"))
memoryrecord_freeze(curhp)

no it won't update the health to the max hp when max hp changes

if you freeze the record first and THEN change the value to "(Max HP)" it will freeze the value to the current value of "Max HP"

If you freeze a address the "freeze value" will be set to the value it had at the time of the freeze
setting a value on a frozen record updates the value being set to the value you want it to be.
Setting the value to a special value like (Max HP) will cause the freeze to apply that effect constantly instead of once

First freeze, then change value. That's the important part of this feature
