I am ultra stupid when it comes to LUA. Is there a way to execute an LUA script that will launch the specified target, auto-attach CE to process, auto-inject script and maybe even auto-break at startup to ensure that the script gets executed in time?

As a test, I wanted to modify a dll with a memory patch, but the patch needs to occur at startup. A traditional patch will not work in this case.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if there's a better way, but here's something:
Code:
function onOpenProcess(pid)
  print("opened pid " .. pid)
end

shellExecute("C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe")
openProcess("calc.exe")
pause()

autoAssemble([[
// something
]])
-- if you want to turn on a script:
getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("my script").Active = true
