Code:

local script_on = [==[
alloc(newmem,$1000,"Game.exe"+1BDAD36)
]==]
local script_off = [==[
dealloc(newmem)
]==]
if(checkbox_getState(CETrainer.CECheckbox1)==1)then
autoAssemble(scrip_on)
else
autoAssemble(script_off)
end

or

local scriptStr = [==[
[ENABLE]
alloc(newmem,$1000,"Game.exe"+1BDAD36)

[DISABLE]
dealloc(newmem)
]==]

---- Enable script
local enabledOk, disableInfo = autoAssemble(scriptStr)
if enabledOk then
print('The auto assembler script was enabled successfully.')
else
print('There was an error enabling the auto assembler script.')
end
---- Disable script
local disabledOk = autoAssemble(scriptStr, disableInfo)
if disabledOk then
disableInfo = nil
print('The auto assembler script was disabled successfully.')
else
print('There was an error disabling the auto assembler script.')
end

Bottom one seems to work just fine when I remove the address or replace it with

Code:

local scriptStr = ([==[
[ENABLE]
alloc(newmem,$1000,%s)

[DISABLE]
dealloc(newmem)
]==]):format(process)

so that it's always valid. It prints

Code:

The auto assembler script was enabled successfully.
The auto assembler script was disabled successfully.

If I change it to something like

Code:

local scriptStr = ([==[
[ENABLE]
alloc(newmem,$1000,%s)

[DISABLE]
dealloc(newmem)
]==]):format(process)

---- Enable script
local enabledOk, disableInfo = autoAssemble(scriptStr)
if enabledOk then
print('The auto assembler script was enabled successfully.')
else
print('There was an error enabling the auto assembler script.')
end
print(disableInfo.allocs.newmem.address)
local val = readInteger(disableInfo.allocs.newmem.address)
print(tostring(val))
---- Disable script
local disabledOk = autoAssemble(scriptStr, disableInfo)
if disabledOk then
--disableInfo = nil
print('The auto assembler script was disabled successfully.')
else
print('There was an error disabling the auto assembler script.')
end
local val = readInteger(disableInfo.allocs.newmem.address)
print('after disable', tostring(val))

I get

Code:

The auto assembler script was enabled successfully.
36110336
0
The auto assembler script was disabled successfully.
after disable nil

with the readInteger call returning nil clearly showing that the memory has been deallocated.

edit: hm, looking at the first one you can't just use dealloc in a separate script like that unless you register the memory as a symbol, without registering it it's just a label and labels aren't known to other scripts, which is why you can use the same names like newmem and originalcode and returnhere etc. in multiple scripts at the same time and still have them refer to different addresses.
