 Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2017 3:43 am Post subject: Iterating through a list ? |
 |
|
(unity game) Found a "list" of inventory items. Complex pointer where the 4th offset is the inventory slot, and the 5th points to the item ID I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a handful of item IDs (perhaps 5 items in the list out of >50). The items are in a random order every time a game is loaded, and for a bunch of reasons I won't bother going into, the best solution I think will work consistently is to iterate through the list, finding the IDs I want, and then assigning the proper 4th offset to corresponding CE table entries.
(for example, iterate through a list, if I find the shield item then the shield structure in the table get populated by adjusting the offsets to point at the found item)
I know how to do this sort of thing in C/C++, but in Lua and the other CE stuff I'm quite lost.

Hm so you have something like
inventory = [[[base+off1]+off2]+off3]+off4
itemid = [[[[base+off1]+off2]+off3]+off4]+off5
where base is the start of the array (the first element) and you need to check, potentially, 50+ to find 5 itemids you care about?
I haven't tested it but something like this might work (lua)
| Code: |
al = getAddressList()
local iCare = cared = {[1]=true ,[2]=true, [3]=true, [5]=true, [8]=true} -- ids you care about
local numCaredAbout = 5 -- #iCare would only give 3, since 4 is nil
local numElements = 50 -- lua does not use hex by default so this is decimal 50
local elementSize = 4
local maxOffset = numElements*elementSize
local found = 0
for off1 = 0, maxOffset do
-- string address is parsed by CE, so numbers are hex by default...
local addr = "[[[[base+" .. string.format("%x", off1) .. "]+off2]+off3]+off4]+off5"
local itemid = readInteger(addr) -- assuming the id is a 4 byte int
if iCare[itemid] then
local mr = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Inventory Slot for ItemID " .. itemid)
-- below will give error if memory record with that name/description did not exist
-- that's probably a good thing since it'll let you know something is wrong :)
mr.setAddress(addr)
-- stop looking if we've found all the ones we care about
found = found + 1
if found >= numCaredAbout then break end
end
end
|
I wouldn't be surprised if someone else had a better method (or if I was off by 1) since I don't know lua all that well lol (and obviously some of the variables are just for readability)

Ah alright, I see where your going with this
(geez scripting languages have weird syntax....)
Thanks a bunch, I'll give a method like that a try
