HI all,

I've been having fun making various trainers for my son's games (he's 10 year old) but have hit a snag... as I'm attempting to keep his pc safe his login perms are not at admin level, this however will not allow LUA scripts to run. Is there anyway around this please all?

Many thanks
Zt

What exactly doesn't work? Could you post your script.

#Thank you for offering to help

It's all pretty simple stuff (I think) but I'm being a dumbo and can't figure out what's wrong. I ran CE6.3 to find the single money address, then quick and dirty compiled within the program to an exe, transferred to sons pc but cannot run it unless using Admin account.

Here's the simple script pre-compile

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheatTable CheatEngineTableVersion="16">
<CheatEntries>
<CheatEntry>
<ID>0</ID>
<Description>"Money"</Description>
<Color>80000008</Color>
<VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
<Address>warblade.exe+4468EC</Address>
</CheatEntry>
</CheatEntries>
<UserdefinedSymbols/>
</CheatTable>

From what I know, standalone trainers, generated with CE, requires admin privilege. (it has "requireAdministrator" execution level)

From the way I understand it...

Trainers look at and edit the RAM of other processes. So they need admin rights because this is potentially unsafe, as a program could be looking through your personal data in another program and sending it somewhere, so that's one of the things that needs admin rights.

And that's not something you're going to get around easily. You'd be better off seeing if there's a way to grant certain programs the rights to run as admin naturally via configs in Windows or something.

I've never seen a program able to read the RAM (not just info from the on-disk image!) of other processes without running as admin when UAC is enabled in modern versions of Windows (NT 6+). A quick google shows this as being mentioned, but it seems to state a requirement for PROCESS_VM_READ in the first place anyways.
