Is there any specific file that I can see for example what happens when you type OpenProcess ("game.exe").
I'm a little lost, I hope someone can help me, many files, I do not know what I seek.

main.lua:
Quote:
openProcess(processname): causes cheat engine to find and open the given process

Implementation is here.

Here:
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/ca87e4dc8980edff75cbb04cdd7fc35d5f87e83b/Cheat%20Engine/LuaHandler.pas#L2334



To get PID, we see another function: "ce_getProcessIDFromProcessName"
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/ca87e4dc8980edff75cbb04cdd7fc35d5f87e83b/Cheat%20Engine/pluginexports.pas#L1315




when we have PID, it will call function "ce_openProcess", which is here
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/ca87e4dc8980edff75cbb04cdd7fc35d5f87e83b/Cheat%20Engine/pluginexports.pas#L1431




but, it call another one: "ce_openProcess2":
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/ca87e4dc8980edff75cbb04cdd7fc35d5f87e83b/Cheat%20Engine/pluginexports.pas#L1399


and it calls another function "Open_Process", here:
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/ca87e4dc8980edff75cbb04cdd7fc35d5f87e83b/Cheat%20Engine/CEFuncProc.pas#L1807


There we see this:
NewKernelHandler.OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,false,ProcessID);


Digging more:
NewKernelHandler.OpenProcess:=GetProcAddress(WindowsKernel,'OpenProcess');


WindowsKernel and OpenProcess

Digging more:
WindowsKernel:=LoadLibrary('Kernel32.dll')



So, OpenProcess from Kernel32.dll.

Yes. "OpenProcess" function you see in CE's Lua, it is registered function written in other language (be it C, Pascal)
