Please take a look at the following code, basically I want to catch an input and pass it to the AA script:

Code:

number = 0

t =
{
{
'1',
[[ ------------ Enable AA script
alloc(newmem,2048)
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)
label(addStats1)

newmem:
cmp byte ptr [ebx+19],5F
jl addStats1

addStats1:
add byte ptr [ebx+1C],number <----- Failed
jmp exit

originalcode:
movzx eax,byte ptr [ebx+19]
cmp eax,ecx

exit:
jmp returnhere

"game.exe"+5A234A:
jmp newmem
nop
returnhere:
]],

[[ -------------Disable AA script
dealloc(newmem)
"game.exe"+5A234A:
movzx eax,byte ptr [ebx+19]
cmp eax,ecx
]]
}
}

function CEButton1Click(sender)
number = getText(UDF1.CEEdit1) <----- Failed
autoAssemble(t[1][2])
end

I want to pass variable "number" into the AA script, can I do that?
I also tried the following and it didn't work:

Code:

alloc(newmem,2048)
alloc(number,16)
...
label(exit)
label(addStats1)
registersymbol(number)

newmem:
...
jmp addStats1

addStats1:
{$lua}
number = getText(UDF1.CEEdit1)
writeInteger('number',number)
{$asm}
add byte ptr [ebx+19],'number'
jmp exit

writeBytes("number", number)

With ce 6.5, a lua global variable of type integer can be referred in AA by prefixing the variable name with a symbol '$'.
The integer number will be in hexadecimal form in AA

Code:

NUMBER = 10000 -- lua global integer variable
print(tostring(autoAssemble([[
globalalloc(cave,1000)
cave:
dq cave,$NUMBER
{$lua}
NUMBER = math.floor(math.random()*1000) -- or tonumber(getText(UDF1.CEEdit1) )
{$asm}
jmp $NUMBER
dq $NUMBER
]])))

Lua block expand before AA command, so both instance of '$NUMBER' will be the same

but, there is some inconsistency.
For example, $NUMBER cannot place on '1000' as globalalloc parameter, but can be parameters (2nd & 3rd) for range of AOBScanRegion .

Alternatively,the number value can be manually forma/gsub into the AA script:

Code:

autoAssemble(string.format([[
...
mov eax,%X
mov ebx,%X
...
]],number,number))

Code:

autoAssemble(string.gsub([[
...
...
mov eax,NUMBER
mov ebx,NUMBER
...
...
]],'NUMBER',string.format("%X",number)))

Thanks for the detailed answer, Zaner. However, this line is causing a problem:

Code:

add byte ptr [ebx+1C],eax {FIXED}

If I change "eax" to "1", it works, but that's not what I want, do you know what causes this bug? Thanks a lot. Smile

@panrave, the "$" and global variable worked!! Thanks a lot!
