I've ran into a problem regarding a Lua script. I want it to overwrite a value every 10ms when enabled and write a different value as well as destroy the previous timer so it behaves as usual when disabled. It keeps writing the value on it when its disabled. Found no possible causes after checking the script multiple times and figured I'd ask help from more experienced people.

Code:

[ENABLE]

aobscanmodule(health,MadMax.exe,F3 0F 11 6B 1C 44)
alloc(newmem,$1000,"MadMax.exe"+1F3E324)
globalalloc(my_health,8)

label(code)
label(return)

newmem:

code:
  mov [my_health],rbx
  //movss [rbx+1C],xmm5
  jmp return

health:
  jmp newmem
return:
registersymbol(health)

{$lua}

htimer = createTimer()
htimer.setInterval(10)
htimer.onTimer = function(p_health)
writeFloat('["my_health"]+1C',1200)
end

{$asm}
[DISABLE]

{$lua}

htimer.destroy()
writeFloat('["my_health"]+1C',1000)

{$asm}

health:
  db F3 0F 11 6B 1C

unregistersymbol(health)
dealloc(newmem)

You may have clicked "disable script without executing disable section" or something similar when developing and/or testing the script.

Make the code more resilient to outside factors like this:
Code:
[enable]
{$lua}
if syntaxcheck or htimer or not memrec then return end
htimer = createTimer()
htimer.Interval = 10
htimer.OnTimer = function(t)
  local addr, enabled = getAddressSafe('["my_health"]+1C'), memrec.Active
  if addr then
    writeFloat(addr, enabled and 1200. or 1000.)
  end
  if not enabled then
    t.destroy()
  end
end
{$asm}

[disable]
{$lua}
if syntaxcheck or not htimer then return end
htimer.destroy()
htimer = nil
local a = getAddressSafe('["my_health"]+1C')
if a then
  writeFloat(a, 1000.)
end
{$asm}
