Cheat Engine

[eXistensial Warlock]

Hey guys. I did an hour of googling before coming here so sorry if this has been asked before.

I'd like to set up a script that will increase the rate of experience gained in a game. Experience is stored as a 4 Byte variable.

Is there a way to compare the previous value with the new one, then multiply the difference, and add that to the new value? In this case, I would like to double the amount of experience gained, so I suppose simply being able to find the difference and adding it to the new value again would do the trick.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am not positive whether or not experience increments until it reaches the new value, or if the change in the variable is instantaneous. I would imagine this could cause complications if it did increment until the "gained" experience is depleted, especially if the script applies every time the experience value is changed. The change appears instant, but I'd have to play further into the game to see bigger experience values before I could really tell a difference.

I've used Cheat Engine for years now to do simple variable edits, but nothing too much more complicated than finding and editing values like money and experience. I haven't touched any scripting.

If there's a tutorial out there that will handle what I'm trying to accomplish, I'd be glad to take a look at that as well!

Using AA to inject code would likely be best (see step 7 "Code Injection" of the CE tutorial), but Lua can do what you're asking.

Hey, this looks like what I'm looking for. Thanks a bunch!

thank you for taking your time to help me with the coding, I was wondering how to modify exp for player 2,3 .... from your code, do I repeat all the codes above for player 2 after the end function?

again, I apologize if the answer is something obvious, I'm pretty clueless with these stuff ^^!

ty once again, I haven't tried using it but will do soon. Hopefully I'll get it to work!

I can't get your code to work after playing around with it, it's most probably my fault for not knowing how to use it properly. I'm not sure what's suppose to go in the "..." of the "..v.." , if anything at all.

I suppose the fastest way you could help me out is this:
Let's say I'v found 2 addresses, I name them "main character" and "boss"

Could you plug in the names in the above code, give main character x2 exp and boss x4 exp?

I guess it's gotta be that specific for me to replicate it for other games ><
again, thank you for your trouble.

I get this error when trying to execute the script, could there be something wrong with the code?

EDIT: I tried your earlier code and it works, however it seems only the first player get the multiplier but not second player, I have changed the value in the address manually to confirm that it's the right one. so in the attached picture (but applied for earlier code), Marica doesn't get the multiplier, only Pan.

[AylinCE]

I think you are right.
For multiple players, it uses focus.
The code below focuses on the player you want to follow and upgrade.
Sample; Click "F8" to follow and upgrade the "Pan" player.
To return to the "Marica" player, click "F9".

hey just wanna say thank you for the prompt replies and help, exp multiplier for 1 character is fine. I have this really weird way of wanting to play any new games on highest difficulty but not having to do the grind. giving some of my characters 3x exp usually does the trick for me. it probably makes the game unbalance for sure but that's just how I like to play lol.
