 Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2017 1:48 pm Post subject: auto Search>Replace when pressing a hotkey |
 |
|
Hi to you all! I am new here and I desperately created an account because I am having a serious misunderstanding with this script.
---------------
function replace(searchV, replaceV)
if type(searchV) ~= "table" then
searchV = {(assert(tonumber(searchV),"Could not convert first argument to number"))}
end
replaceV = math.floor(replaceV)
for i,v in ipairs(searchV) do
v = math.floor(v)
local res = AOBScan(string.format("%02X %02X %02X %02X", v & 0xff, v>>8 & 0xff, v>>16 & 0xff, v>>24 & 0xff), "+W-C", 1, 4)
if res then
for j=0, res.Count-1, 1 do
writeInteger(res[j], replaceV)
end
res.destroy()
end
end
end
replace({33606, 5606}, 9600006)
createHotkey(replace, VK_INSERT)
----------
I am absolutely dumb because I am just beginning to learn lua scripting. All I wanted to happen is:
1)when "Insert" was pressed
2)auto scan with a 4 byte scanner ; 33606 and 5606
3)replace 33606 and 5606 with 9600006
And I wanted that to happen everytime I press the "Insert" Button. But when I pressed it only "Could not convert first argument to number" was thrown.PLEASE HELP!!! |

| Code: | | createHotkey(replace, VK_INSERT) |
The first parameter to the createHotkey function is a callable entity that can handle what happens when a hotkey is pressed. That replace function is not meant to handle hotkeys- it's meant to replace values. Pass an anonymous function instead that calls the replace function:
| Code: | | createHotkey(function(hk) replace({33606,5606},9600006) end, VK_INSERT) |

Another question, how about a double scan type value?
Because I am having trouble with a double scan type value changine all the values it encountered...
Example:
I am trying to scan a double type value
3.5
It detected almost 200 items... but most of it are 3.58363826 or 3.8393629207
I wanted to make the lua script to only change all values which have a FIXED 3.5 value, not those long decimal values. Can you help me? Or anyone else please? |

If you want it to be exactly 3.5, you can use doubleToByteTable with an AoB scan:
| Code: | function byteTableToAOBString(t)
local ret = {}
for k,v in ipairs(t) do
ret[k] = string.format('%02X', v)
end
return table.concat(ret,' ')
end
local res = AOBScan(byteTableToAOBString(doubleToByteTable(3.5)), '+W-C', fsmAligned, '4')
if res then
for i=0, res.Count-1 do
print(res[i])
end
else
print('no results found')
end |
However, this will only find values that are exactly 3.5. Values that look like they're 3.5 don't actually have to be 3.5. If you want to include some amount of error, use the memscan class instead and add a few trailing 0s to the search string (e.g. '3.500000'). Use Google for examples.
If you're worried about CE changing unrelated values, look into code injection. It's generally better than scanning for values.

Thank you  my problem got fixed by using your doubletobyte table scanning 3.50000
But one thing got to me as an interest. I just got reading about code injection you mentioned and it is very interesting for dynamic addresses.but I got questions for it.
1)does it need a pointer of the base address? Because I dont have one.
2)if code injection injects your specific code. How does it deal with the dynamic addresses? Will it trigger an autoscan for the values and inject it there?  im just imagining weird thing
Im starting to become curious and exited about code injection but it seems that I dont understand a thing how to make a script. What is the alternative side of change 4byte(5606,33606)>960006 and double(3.5000)>50 USING Code injection? Can you make a example script for me about the code injection because I wanted to understand it clearly. |

The basic idea of code injection is that you overwrite the game's code with your own code. This allows you to modify the game to do whatever you want (within reason). You can remove the code that subtracts from your health or ammo, make all enemies die with a single attack, fly around the map, etc.
No, you don't need a pointer to create a code injection. You just need an injection point: some place in the code that's suitable to hook.
If code isn't located in a module, people usually find it with an AoB scan.
Do the CE tutorial (help menu in CE) and/or look at guides online (e.g. this topic) for more information. Examples can be found in tables on fearlessrevolution.
PS: I noticed a small memory leak in that code:
| Code: | ...
if res then
for i=0, res.Count-1 do
print(res[i])
end
res.destroy() -- add this
else
... |

| Ok,I will do Thank You alot for you help . I bet will will take some time to beat the CE tutorial xD but I will try to have patience to it . Althrough I still dont understand the basic fundamentals of Lua(especially for me to manipulate AoB tricks) those Forums and Facts might help me understand and create my own scripts. Cheers! |
