Hey guys, so I've been teaching myself some LUA, and thanks to the many of you that helped me out, I was able to make this function. I actually had it up before but it was quite broken at the time so I took it down, but now I think its pretty ok. It's just my own version of an AOB scan using LUA, with an added parameter. So the syntax is as follows:

lua_aobscan("aob_name","aob_module","aob",#)

1) aob_name is just what you want your aob to be called, the same as what you'd enter in aobscan(____,90 90 90 90) and registersymbol(____)

2) aob_module is the module name, here's the cool part, there is only one syntax for this function. If the aob_module field is left as "" then it will perform a normal LUA aobscan, but if you put in a module name however, it'll perform a LUA equivalent of the aobscanmodule (faster).

3) aob is just your array of bytes

4) My little touch of salt, an indexing function. Say you want a really specific injection point, but when you scan for the aob you get more than one result, and yours happens to not be the first on the list, or in some cases the aob is just not unique at all. You use this parameter to pick the one you want. If your aob IS unique, leave this a value of 1, but if your aob ISN'T unique and appears say, 4th on a list of aobs, you'd enter a value of 4.

This function registers the symbol for you automatically, and has some error prevention. If you mistyped the AOB, and it's not found, LUA will print a message saying it wasn't found. If you mis-type a module name, it will also print a error saying the module wasn't found. If everything is fine, it won't say anything. The errors print BEFORE you close the asm window, so you'd know something was wrong even before you assigned it to the cheat table, or before you close it from editing a current script.

Just a comparison of each:
