Get ready, this question has probably been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding the answer.

Where do you go in Cheat Engine to run LUA scripts?

I opened the Memory Viewer, then went Tools > Lua Engine. However, when I enter "getCEVersion()" the output is just "getCEVersion()" again. I get errors when I type in things that aren't commands, but I similarly get no output when I type in other things that do appear to be commands.

You have to explicitly print stuff you want to print.
Code:
print(getCEVersion())

If you don't want the Lua engine to also print the code you're executing, deselect "View -> Show script in output".

In the main window, you can go to "Table -> Show Cheat Table Lua Script" to open up a bigger script window. The code put in there is saved when you save a cheat table.

Code:

return getCEVersion()

also works, and with tables it shows the content as well
