I'm not very good with tables or loops yet, is there a way I could shorten this to have one function that cycles through the list of AOBs and prints out each scan result

Code:
aobList = {
a00 = "XX XX XX XX",
a01 = "XX XX XX XX",
a02 = "XX XX XX XX"
}

if openProcess("game.exe") then
  function autoUpdate()
    local a = AOBScan(aobList.a00)
      for i=0, a.Count-2, 1 do
        addr00 = (string.format("%X",getAddress(a[i])))
      end
      a.destroy()
    local a = AOBScan(aobList.a01)
      for i=0, a.Count-2, 1 do
        addr01 = (string.format("%X",getAddress(a[i])))
      end
      a.destroy()
    local a = AOBScan(aobList.a02)
      for i=0, a.Count-2, 1 do
        addr02 = (string.format("%X",getAddress(a[i])))
      end
      a.destroy()

    print(addr00)
    print(addr01)
    print(addr02)

    if a == nil then
      return
    end
  end
end

createNativeThread(autoUpdate)

This should work.

Code:

local format = string.format

local aobLst = {
    a00 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a01 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a02 = 'XX XX XX XX',
}

if openProcess('game.exe') then
    function autoUpdate()
        if aobLst then
            for k, v in pairs(aobLst)
                local rLst = AOBScan(v)
                if rLst then
                    for i = 1, rLst.Count - 1 do
                        if rLst[i] then
                            print(format('%s: %08X', k, getAddress(rLst[i])))
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    createNativeThread(autoUpdate)
end

Thank you very much, that's a lot more elegant than what I had. one more thing if you don't mind, if I wanted to assign each first result from a scan to a global variable how would I do it with a loop like that? Like for instance if I changed the prints in my OP example to:

Code:
var1 = addr00
var2 = addr01
var3 = addr02

I would use a global table. (not lua's global table just a table)
so:
Code:


AOBsLst = { }

local format = string.format

local aobLst = {
    a00 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a01 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a02 = 'XX XX XX XX',
}

if openProcess('game.exe') then
    function autoUpdate()
        if aobLst then
            for k, v in pairs(aobLst)
                local rLst = AOBScan(v)
                if rLst then
                    for i = 1, rLst.Count - 1 do
                        if rLst[i] then
                            print(format('%s: %08X', k, getAddress(rLst[i])))
                            AOBsLst[k] = v
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    createNativeThread(autoUpdate)
    if AOBsLst then
        print(AOBsLst.a00)
        for k, v in pairs(AOBsLst)
            print(format('%s: %08X', k, getAddress(v)))
        end
    end
end


EDIT:

Missed the first part.
Code:

AOBsLst = { }

local format = string.format

local aobLst = {
    a00 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a01 = 'XX XX XX XX',
    a02 = 'XX XX XX XX',
}

if openProcess('game.exe') then
    function autoUpdate()
        if aobLst then
            for k, v in pairs(aobLst)
                local rLst = AOBScan(v)
                if rLst then
                    for i = 1, rLst.Count - 1 do
                        if rLst[i] then
                            print(format('%s: %08X', k, getAddress(rLst[i])))
                            if i == 1 then
                                AOBsLst[k] = v
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    createNativeThread(autoUpdate)
    if AOBsLst then
        print(AOBsLst.a00)
        for k, v in pairs(AOBsLst)
            print(format('%s: %08X', k, getAddress(v)))
        end
    end
end
