hi, im now startin to learn some Lua. I want to find the value of an adress and change it could i use the readbytes and write bytes to do this ? readBytes("ggpofba.exe"+5AABC4+24+20+14+38128,2) \\reads value of adress writeBytes("ggpofba.exe"+5AABC4+24+20+14+38128, 99) \\changes value to 99 or if i dont even want to know its value, can i just run the writeBytes line of code?

yes,
something like this using a ceaddress string format:

Code:

writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)

i got it to work like this:

Code:

form_centerScreen(UDF2)
form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_value = readBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 2)
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
local timer = os.time()
repeat until os.time() > timer + 1
end
end

but it doesnt repeat ( i have to keep clicking to set it to 99)

ty it worked.kindda

Code:

form_centerScreen(UDF2)
form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_value = readBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 2)
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
local t = createTimer(nil)
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300) --Call CECheckbox3Click(sender) every 3 ms
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
end

It workes for the first 2 or 3 seconds than CE crashes... It once gave me a STACKOVERFLOW error but now it just freezes...

I olso have question about this code :/

Main function is to write 99 value into Adress when CECheckbox3Click is active

local t = createTimer(nil) \\ t is now a timer that system creates and is set when ontimer event starts... so this event comes at:

Code:

timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)

mm timer is created when CECheckbox3click starts, ok so when i click on the tick box, a timer is created

Code:

timer_setInterval(t,3000)

Code:

timer_setEnabled(t, true)

i have a problem with what thse are doing

timer_setInterval -- Sets the speed on how often the timer should trigger. In milliseconds (1000=1 second)

so he checks every 3000ms. And on check, he repeats CECheckbox3Click

But, isnt that like saying click on checkbox every 3 seconds ? What i really wanted was to writetoadress, not the Click itself.

This does seem to work (only until it freezes) but im not sure im telling him to repeat the right function...

Anyways, why is he crashing? is this the time to add like a debbugger code ?

Pay some minutes to read the link I gave you !

Owner may be nil, but you will be responsible for destroying it

Do object_destroy(t) to avoid stack overflow.
You make a call to this function when ever you are done with timer and don't need it anymore.

yes but i was planning on destroying it on click to disable checkbox.

So if im playing and after 3 seconds i get stackoverflow, do i have to destroy it every 3 seconds ? with or without any clicking.
Ill only be done with timer when i stop playing

end
local t = createTimer(nil) --
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
end

i have some prints of the form events and properties not sure that helps..

dont i need to kill object at least every second(time it takes to stack up and freeze)
Maybe i could add another timer... 1 for the Clickbox function and another to kil object..

it helps if you indent your code
This is your code:

Code:

As you see, you create the timer each time the checkboxclick event is executed, each time causing more timers to be created exponentially (first 1, then 2, then 4, then 8, then 16, ....)

try this instead:

Code:

form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_value = readBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 2)
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
end

local t = createTimer(nil) --
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)

also, readBytes returns 2 bytes but you are only storing 1 byte in a variable ( timer_value )

mm yea he doesnt freeze. Not super sure why. my point of view? the fact that it had an "end" after timer was set, ddid what you said (exp timer setting) making the code end after writebytes made it do 1 timer and never "end" or redo another timer

i think i understand what you said.

Quote:

so if he read 99 he stores only 9. ( since the function looks for <=99 to run...it still runs as i want to) but how would i add 2 bytes value into (timer_value) ?

It works. And doesnt crash... but, as i run script he auto sets timer to 99, i dont even check the click box.. im not sure if this is due to not having code for "not checked" clickbox.. ill have to finish it up and see..

its because you set it enabled automatically ...

Code:

timer_setEnabled(t, true)

Try this..

Code:

form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
timer_value = readBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 2)
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
end

local t = createTimer(nil) --
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)
timer_setEnabled(t, false)

m, well i did execute script and it didnt set the timer to 99, problem is it changes value to 99 on click and now timer doesnt work Smile

so while it did not start to writeadress it did not work...

Try this one,

F10+SHIFT = enable/disable

Code:

form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
timer_value = readInteger("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128")
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeInteger("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
end

if t~=nil then object_destroy(t);t=nil;end
t = createTimer(nil,false)
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)

if hkTest~=nil then object_destroy(hkTest);hkTest=nil;end
hkTest = createHotkey(function ()
timer_setEnabled(t, not timer_getEnabled(t) )
end, VK_F10, VK_SHIFT)

check out Formdesigner.png up thethread.
Its a simple Form with a clickbox

you tick it, it sets timer value to 99.

your code is adding hotkeys to the form ? if i have a hotkey to enable/disable timer value why would i want a Form with a clickbox?

The problem is. I m jst now, starting to learn Lua. The code you gave me, means i have to learn what it says in order for it to make sense, even before i attempt to write it.
Like now, ill go and spend an hour looking for:

writeInteger
readInteger

I do apreciate the intention but it would be great if you could explain your code in a way i can understand it as well.
From what i understandrom it, its not really what im looking for...

*got the Integer. integers numbers that can be written without a fractional or decimal component. So in a way work a lot like read/writebytes yes ? It woudnt make much of a difference function wise. Would it run better ? i can understand how ncely coded software works better.

So i tried your first part of the code(i wasnt looking for hotkeys but i can see how usefull they could be if i was in-game and wanted to change it,its just not what im after tho)

Code:

fform_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
timer_value = writeInteger("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128")
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeInteger("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
end

if t~=nil then object_destroy(t);t=nil;end
t = createTimer(nil,false)
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)

you changed the place where the "event" took place and added an if statment. If timer was true (our created timer is nil,false) than destroy it and set t to nill.
Reading this right ? not sure...

Still thats how i read and that how i wrote it. Didnt work.
BUT. I though the key point must had been changing the event, so i tried it with the previous code. with Read/WriteBytes

Code:

form_show(UDF2)

function CECheckbox3Click(sender)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
timer_value = readBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128")
if timer_value <= 99 then
writeBytes("[[[[ggpofba.exe+5AABC4]+24]+20]+14]+38128", 99)
end
end

if t~=nil then object_destroy(t);t=nil;end
t = createTimer(nil,false)
timer_onTimer(t, CECheckbox3Click)
timer_setInterval(t,300)

And you were right on the money Smile

hehehe tyyy, learning a lot!

had to change

local t = createTimer (got acess violation error).
The t = createTimer \\ worked.. i dont know what this implies tho lolol.
