 |
|
I'm wondering if it's possible to detect whether or not a trainer is being run from the Cheat Engine process, or as it's own standalone executable (.exe). If it's being run as a standalone, I need to call "closeCE()" to end the Cheat Engine process when the trainer window is closed/hidden. If it was launched from the main Cheat Engine interface, I want the main CE process to continue.
Right now, I just comment out the "closeCE()" line when not run as a standalone:
| Code: | local function shutdown()
-- close/hide trainer window
Frame.hide()
-- close Cheat Engine
--closeCE()
end |
Then I just uncomment to build the .exe:
| Code: | local function shutdown()
-- close/hide trainer window
Frame.hide()
-- close Cheat Engine
closeCE()
end |
I've looked around the forums, wiki, & Google a bit, but haven't yet found the information I am looking for.
-- Edit --
Oh! I just came across the TrainerOrigin variable on the wiki (would post a link but don't have permission yet). Perhaps that is what I am looking for. I will do some tests.
-- Solved --
Yup! That is exactly what I needed:
| Code: | local function shutdown()
-- close/hide trainer window
Frame.hide()
-- shutdown Cheat Engine process when run as a standalone application
if TrainerOrigin ~= nil then
closeCE()
end
end |

So I've noticed that this only works on my system when CE is launched independent of a cheat table.
For example, if I launch CE by simply opening its executable, TrainerOrigin is nil. However, if I launch CE by clicking on an associated cheat table fie (.CT) from my file manager, TrainerOrigin contains the path to the directory where the cheat table file is located. In which case, by closing my trainer it completely shuts down the CE main interface.
