Hi, I want to change some different AoB's and tried to do this with Lua and AA, but I failed and I need some help hehe
E.g. I want to change all of this (50+ results)
Code:
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 07 00 08 06 07 ?? 00 00 00 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07

to
Code:
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 07 00 08 06 07 64 00 00 00 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07

If I do with AA, it only change the first result (I read here on the forum, that CE stop scan after first result)
And with Lua I get this error (Screen attached: AI-TG_AoB_Lua_01)
Maybe someone can help me or have a better idea to solve this.

0x?? is not a valid hex number. writeBytes does not support wild cards. Split it up into multiple writes so you simply don't overwrite bytes that you don't want to change. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you could find some function on the forums that took an aobstring and called writeBytes for you which did support them, eg. https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=571272 or https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=571294

Thank you for the answer, I tried both functions from your links and both didn't work for me Very Happy
But after testing a bit, the function from your first link works for me partially.
It finds the AoB's and replaces them but if I want replace with e.g. FF ?? 01 02
it dont replace the ??, it jumps over them and replace it instead with FF 01 02 02.
Do you have an idea how I could solve this?
Do you know, would it work with the function at your 2nd link?

Could you give me an example with the 2nd function for this code:

Code:
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 07 00 08 06 07 ?? 00 00 00 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07
to
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 07 00 08 06 07 64 00 00 00 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07

4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 0b 00 08 06 06 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07
to
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 0b 00 08 06 06 00 00 59 40 ?? ?? ?? ?? 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07

I haven't used either, though the second does have some code that looked like it might support that, specifically the: local x, y = string.find(z, "%?+");

Since that doesn't seem to have worked for you perhaps this will: https://github.com/FreeER/CE-Examples/blob/5f34a197673e68e7f071f00a0683641f820aaa1e/AOB%20To%20Bytes%20-%20playing.lua

Code:
function AOBToBytes(aob)
  -- convert non-hex character to * if it is not a space
  local s = aob:gsub('%X', function(c) return c~=' ' and '*' or c end)
  -- replace single *s by two and remove all spaces for easy parsing
  s = s:gsub(' %* ', '**'):gsub(' ','')

  local b = {}
  for c in s:gmatch('..') do
    -- write bytes accepts numbers > 255 as wild cards
    -- with spaces removed anything that's not a hex number
    -- should be *s which should be treated as wild cards
    b[#b+1] = tonumber(c, 16) or 256
  end
  return b
end


It's designed to turn an AOB string into a table of bytes that you can pass to writeBytes (though I haven't tested it much) eg.
Code:
local RareMobs1AOB = '4F 96 02 00 08 00 1C 96 07 00 08 06 07 ?? 00 00 00 4F 96 02 00 08 00 1C 96 P? 00 08 07'
local RareMobs1 = AOBScan(RareMobs1AOB, '+W*X-C')
if RareMobs1 then
  for x=0, RareMobs1.getCount() do
    writeBytes(RareMobs1[x], AOBToBytes(RareMobs1AOB))
  end
  RareMobs1.Destroy()
  RareMobs1=nil
end


Though in the case of

4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 0b 00 08 06 06 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07
to
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 0b 00 08 06 06 00 00 59 40 ?? ?? ?? ?? 4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 ?? 00 08 07

you're not changing anything after the first ?? in the second, so just don't include any of that:
4f 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 0b 00 08 06 06 00 00 59 40

no, ??s, no problem.

Well it was a bad example Very Happy There are also AoB's like change to: 01 ?? 02 ??.
I tried it with a other solution, I searched the AoB's manually and now I replace all of them with the bytes, what the most of them have Very Happy So I don't know what it changes but it works at this game Very Happy I know it's not a good solution hehe
But I don't understand your code, I see you scan for the AoB but where you replace it? Is this the line to replace? Didn't you replace it there with the same code as scanned?
Code:
writeBytes(RareMobs1[x], AOBToBytes(RareMobs1AOB))


Sorry I have no clue from AA or Lua Very Happy

But I have a new problem Very Happy
Maybe you can help me with that, too.
I want search for an AoB, replace it and freeze it.
I found this:
(I can't post URL's but it's here at this forum with the title "How to Freeze AOB in AA?")
(Screen attached -> AI-TG_AoB_Lua_02)
First I execute the Lua script, then I check the AA script to change the Value and then I check the AA script to freeze it, where it search for the new changed AoB..
Sometimes I got error, sometimes not, I also tried to run both AA scripts in one, but there I only got a error, most time for the line with {$lua}..
This is my try in one AA script:
Code:
[ENABLE]
//9999 CoR and CoUR
Aobscan(_InfCoR, F6 1B BC D0 11 04 00 00 18 03 9A D0 11 04 00 00 ?? ?? ?? 00 00 00 00 00 2C 5F D9 D1 11 04 00 00 ?? ?? ??)
_InfCoR +10:
db 78 38 01

_InfCoR +20:
db 78 38 01

{$lua}
local r = AOBScan'F6 1B BC D0 11 04 00 00 18 03 9A D0 11 04 00 00 78 38 01 00 00 00 00 00 2C 5F D9 D1 11 04 00 00 78 38 01' -- your AOB
local result = r[0]
r.destroy();
return freeze(result,4); -- freeze 4 bytes
{$asm}
[DISABLE]
luacall(unfreeze())


The script is checkable. but don't freeze anything, the value is still changing if I use it at the game..

freeze is only going to freeze the first 4 bytes, F6 1B BC D0, which you didn't change in the previous script...

btw, read/write Bytes can use tables and lua has true/false booleans that you could use instead of 0 and 1.
