 Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 5:06 pm Post subject: How to use writeString with a memory record script? |
 |
|
I'm not familiar using memory records with Lua so not sure what function to look for, I want to change a string defined in an AA script with the editbox object like so
| Code: | | define(Example,StringToChange) |
Normally I'd just use string.format with a variable for the editbox value (or using writeString in the editbox function) but how would I write to that value without it being in the Lua script?

Since you mention EditBox, Lua script seems necessary if I'm not misunderstood.
In UI/Trainer Lua code, should run before AA script below
| Code: |
...
local symbol, maxLength = "MyString", 0x200
local isUnicode = false
-- ^ setup the String symbol
s2bt = isUnicode and wideStringToByteTable or stringToByteTable
if isUnicode then maxLength = maxLength * 2 end
MYScript = string.format("globalalloc(%s,%d)",symbol,maxLength)
function CEEdit1Change(sender)
local str = sender.Text
if MYScript and not readInteger(symbol) then
autoAssemble(MYScript)
end
if readInteger(symbol) then
str = str:sub(1,maxLength-1)..string.char(0) -- zero terminated
GetMainForm().Caption = str -- just for test, should remove
writeBytes(symbol,s2bt(str))
end
end
...
|
In AA script
| Code: |
...
{$lua}
if MYScript then return MYScript end -- will not execute if MYScript not yet defined
{$asm}
...
mov esi,MyString // set your EditBox connected String Pointer
mov edi,[ebx+120]
@@: // sample copy code, not tested
mov al,[esi] // use ax and edi+2 -> edi for unicode
mov [edi],al
inc edi
inc esi
test al,al
jne @b
...

| Thanks panraven, I think I will just stick to using the autoAssemble function in Lua for now. Memory records are a bit complicated for me at the moment
