Specifically access the address pointer in my code list to use with the form maker.

Does anyone know a video that teaches how to use the addresses in the form maker?

Or is it simple enough to explain through text/images?

EDIT:
I'm using CE 6.3

Easiest is doing file->generate generic lua script from table

Also, if you do it manually keep in mind that addresses are not a visible thing while forms are

[ThatBenderGuy]

so what you're saying is that within the form it'd be impossible to relay back the current value of said address?

[Dark Byte]

It's possible but you HAVE to use some lua programming to convert a value from the addresslist to a human readable representation in the form. (It's not a simple drag/drop and fill in links)

e.g: Create a timer that occasionally fetches the Value property of a MemoryRecord inside the AddressList, and assign that value to a visual object like the Caption of a Label object.

example: (if your form is named myform and the label has Name valuex)

alright thanks, and how would I write back? say modify the value. would it look like this?

[Dark Byte]

change setMemoryRecordByDescription to getMemoryRecordByDescription , but yes, that should work, assuming that the editbox is a valid value (integer) else an error will be shown to the user

If you save a table all the defined forms will be saved into it as well

you can show it by executing formname.show()

So any user using my CT has to open the .CT file then go to Table > Show Cheat Table Lua Script > Execute Script?

EDIT:
I've worked in C# using Visual Studio before and I know you can do this in C# but sure for Lua but is it possible to restrict the characters used in an Edit box to only numbers?

[Dark Byte]

It's an option in the user's settings.
The default option is to show a message asking if the user wishes to execute the script when he opens it. That can be disabled to always execute, or always ignore.

But, if you name your table with the extension .CETRAINER and ce opens it, it will automatically execute the lua script (the user can also doubleclick the .cetrainer and it will launch ce automatically for you, without even showing the main ce gui, if you wish that so)

[ThatBenderGuy]

ok thanks, 2 last things then I promise i'm done bugging you.

1. Whenever I tried saving it as an exe then running it with the game up it doesn't seem to naturally hook into the game's exe file. How do I fix that?

2. How do I find out a controls properties name? For instance I have toggle button with this script.

[Dark Byte]

1: You need to tell cheat engine to do that (also with lua)

[ThatBenderGuy]

alright, thanks a ton Dark Byte!
