When I assign a hotkey, using "Set value to:" with a registered symbol like (address); it works if the (address) is a 4-bytes, but not with float?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have these symbols registered:


Code:

[ENABLE]
aobscan(Base,4C CE ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 04 ?? ?? ?? 04 ?? ?? ?? 04)

label(_Base)
registersymbol(_Base)

label(CPos1)
registersymbol(CPos1)

label(CPos2)
registersymbol(CPos2)

label(RPos1)
registersymbol(RPos1)

label(RPos2)
registersymbol(RPos2)

label(Health)
registersymbol(Health)

label(Life)
registersymbol(Life)

Base:
_Base:

Base+200:
Health:

Base+1FC:
Life:

Base+32C:
CPos1:

Base+330:
CPos2:

Base+344:
RPos1:

Base+348:
RPos2:


[DISABLE]
unregistersymbol(_Base)
unregistersymbol(Health)
unregistersymbol(Life)
unregistersymbol(CPos1)
unregistersymbol(CPos2)
unregistersymbol(RPos1)
unregistersymbol(RPos2)



These addresses are 4-bytes: Health, Life
These addresses are float: CPos1, CPos2, RPos1, RPos2

*What I would like to do is to press a hotkey and have the value stored on RPos1 change to CPos1 (changing the re-spawning position (RPos1) to the current position (CPos1)).

So I go to RPos1 value --> set/change hotkey and

Code:

set value to: (CPos1)


When I press the hotkey, nothing happened. I tested changing from (Cpos1) to another registered symbol, (Health), and the value changed once the hotkey is pressed. After further testings, I figured out that it works with all the 4-bytes values, but not with the float ones. I also tested double-clicking on the value and manually entering (CPos1) there. It says "The value (CPos1) could not be parsed", where as (Health) worked properly.


This function does not work with a float address? Are there ways to make it work?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What else I have tried:

I read on the forums and someone mentioned using readFloat / writeFloat and I am not sure how to properly use it.


Code:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
{$lua}
writeFloat(RPos1, readFloat(CPos1))
writeFloat(RPos2, readFloat(CPos2))
 
[DISABLE]
{$asm}
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat


This doesn't seem to work. I probably need to attach it to a code that is being executed in the game using $newmem or something like that right?

If memory record with description "CPos1 desc" exists, you can use this:
(be sure your MR description do not have space at the end)


Also you can use this:







As for your second approach, you're missing quote chars. Fixed:
Code:
[ENABLE]
{$lua}
writeFloat('RPos1', readFloat('CPos1'))
writeFloat('RPos2', readFloat('CPos2'))
{$asm}
[DISABLE]

I've tested all the methods and they all worked very well.

1. I just realized that (Cpos1) within the "set value to:" refers to the description name of a memory record, not the registered symbol itself.

2. Never realized you can put [readFloat('CPos1')] on the "set value to:". This is really awesome!

3. Thanks for showing how the lua code works!
