Cheat Engine

[emist]

Good evening gents,

I am trying to write a quick Lua script to search through a series of values and de-reference the pointers to see whether they point to the address I am looking for or not.

Browsing through the docs this is what I have come up with:

By the way, what I meant from "a manual scan" is what is in the image attached. I can't post urls just yet it looks like.

It seems my code should return identical results to that because I have set all the same parameters. hexvalue, all, truncated, +X+W.

Not really sure what is going on.

[EDIT] The only thing different is my code doesn't reflect the "Fast Scan" option. I'm not sure where it goes in the firstscan function, but attempts at introducing it have led to complete cheatengine crashes.

Input1 and Input2 should be strings with the value (integers may work too as it may be converted internally, but it's designed for strings
The alignment value is the same as the checkbox right of fastscan, if fastscan is enabled this defines the stepsize, or the value an address should end with. In your case it isn't used (stepsize of 1=disabled, which is the same as unchecked)


Anyhow, according to your picture you should use +W*X-C
