Hi. I created an editor for a sports simulation game. I wanted to create a combobox for nationality of a player.
It goes like if we write 44 in nationality adress player becomes english. If we type 45 he becomes indian etc
So ee hav to remeber the codes for different countries.
Is there a way where I can make a list of countries in a combo box. When users click on it, dropdown list shows up displaying various cointry name like england australia india.
Thw user selects one country then click on save (button for writeinteger), it should write 44, 45 etc in the adrress.
Eg he selects england and click on save button should write 44 in the adress of nationality

So what are the readinteger and writeinteger way for a combobox witg dropdown list?

Create a combobox and fill it with a bunch of strings describing what each entry does

e.g:

Do u hv an eg script for this with adress bring a multilevel pointer?

This code will set a memory record with description "Some Description" to 123

here is an example
(It will say there is a newer version of cheat engine out. Just ignore that. This table doesn't use any of the new stuff so will work with the original 6.3)

im having some problem understanding this. (sorry im new to all this)

Im familiar with the writeInteger.
Also I read this topic
http://www.cheatengine.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5477983&sid=a6f084c1577b34c2467804a731a84e9e

Considering that i made a script attached below.
It makes the player a batsmen, bowler or an allrounder. (type of different players like in football there is Goalkeepr, Defender)

But clicking on the CEButton1 doesnt seem to make changes in the game.
What is wrong in this script. (address is correct)

Also, can we make a readInteger command in a combo box.
Like if the user clicks on load player profile. Then the combobox should show the String of the combo box like in nationaly, England etc rather then the codes.

You didn't assign an onClick event to the button

open the table
click table->myform->edit
click cebutton
Click on the "events" tab

doubleclick on the right side of the OnClick event, or select it from the dropdown list

Now save the table and it'll work. (Close the form designer to test it)

OOPS, what a silly mistake that was! The script i attached and u attached both are working perfect
Thankx
Btw how do i make a read command too.
That if the user click on Load player profile. The combo box should change to the string in combo box like in nationality case, It should show England etc and not the codes like 44. (readInteger command for combo box in my script? )

what to write after readInteger so that combo box changes accordingly?

LOL, im ADVANCED cheater now in forum rank. hehe. the tags are really cool and bring a smile on my face

Look at my example. It doesn't care about the value in the combo box, just the index

Just keep a database(table) that links an index with a combobox.
e.g if you read out a list of nationalities and their value, then fill the combobox with the names, and keep a table with the corresponding value.

Also, a lua table can use strings as table lookup, so you can do
writeInteger(address, mylookuptable[formname.comboboxname.Text])

where formname.comboboxname.Text is the name of the nationality

another lua example:

i understood partially. till before another lua example.
I have attached this table. Can you plz just make the necessary modifications that make the combo box change to the correct Nation after clicking on load nationality button.
I have written a readInteger command i used in my original editor which shows up the nationality code like 44, 45 in edit box. It cant be used with the combo box ofcourse.
Can you just change the script and upload? Even if for one nationality like India. Il learn from it.

I did try control_setCaption(control, caption)
Also, combobox_setItemIndex(combobox)

(if these two ever mean setting the 'displayed' string in combobox)

Also, whats the script for displaying "game loaded" for successfull attachment of the process?

[Dark Byte]

here is an example of using a table to lookup the entries

[faizangmc]

i think i cudnt explain my query properly. This is my original editor in which i used edit boxes. To load the player. I open the players profile in the game. then switch to editor. Click on refresh/load current player. And the below screenshot shows up how it loads. Basically i want the edit box to be replaced by combobox. When the user clicks on refresh/load current player. the current itemindex f combobox should change to the players nationality. Like in this case it should show England and not 44 like in edit box.

Screenshot might help.

Assuming you know how to use the following script (check bottom of it.. 2 simple functions).
Make sure you have a listbox or combobox to supply (first function).
You may also sort the listbox if you wish to.

thank you very much both of you. you guys rock. Explain it in very easy words so that newbies like me understand.

mgr.inz.player when i run the script it gives this error :-
