I have a cheat table with a Lua script that's supposed to activate a memory record shortly after attaching to a process. My Lua script is as follows:

Code:
aalist=getAutoAttachList()
stringlist_add(aalist,"MyProcess.exe")

function onOpenProcess(processid)
  sleep(6000)
  local theMemoryRecord = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByID(0)
  print(theMemoryRecord.Description)
  print(theMemoryRecord.Active)
  print(theMemoryRecord.Type)
  theMemoryRecord.Active = True
end


What I am given in response is the following:

Code:
My Memory Record Description

11


As you can see, print(theMemoryRecord.Active) prints nothing. Setting theMemoryRecord.Active to True does not check the box on the memory record.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I've checked every piece of documentation I could find. I also tried memoryrecord_freeze and memoryrecord_setActive to no avail. I could really use some help. Thanks.

don't sleep in onOpenProcess as the symbolhandler and related things have not been executed at that time.

use a timer instead

And you're sure the ID of your memory record is 0 ? (don't mistake ID for index)

OK. I'll try that and get back to you.

Yes, I'm positive it's 0. Otherwise, onOpenProcess would not be able to correctly print the description and type of the memory record.

Boolean values can not be printed with just print function. You have to use tostring first, it will covert Boolean to text.
Code:
print(true)
print(false)
print(tostring(true))
print(tostring(false))


also, Lua is case sensitive. true is a Boolean, True is a variable.



fixed script
Code:
aalist=getAutoAttachList()
aalist.add("MyProcess.exe")

function onOpenProcess(processid)
  local t=createTimer(nil,true)
  t.Interval = 6000
  t.OnTimer = function()
    t.destroy()
    local theMemoryRecord = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByID(0)
    print(theMemoryRecord.Description)
    print(tostring(theMemoryRecord.Active))
    print(theMemoryRecord.Type)
    theMemoryRecord.Active = true
  end
end
