That or no one wants to do it for you, you might want to show a little effort. Doesn't even seem like you want to help yourself. And you were told exactly how to do it.

So 1; I never called you lazy, you called yourself lazy. 2; If you don't know how to read bytes try a search engine.
https://www.google.com/search?q=cheat+engine+readbytes
Guess what the first result is.
https://wiki.cheatengine.org/index.php?title=Lua:readBytes

That or just say "how does readBytes work, can you give me an example". I know that sounds crazy, but you'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. You could even post your script and ask about what you don't understand.

But instead you just claim no is willing to help you. But the truth is, no one wrote the script for you at first.

Then you "rant" about me being "rude". You got so stuck on that and seemed to have miss where I gave you yet another way to do it. To worried about having a come back to even try to solve the problem.

All because I said, "you might want to show a little effort".

But in the end you got your script written for you, so I guess no need to look at yourself and you can just keep the status quo.

...Good luck

Seems like you need the luck, I'll just stick with brains and curiosity.

And here's a crazy idea, post a script that actually reads bytes. Who knows you might even be able to help others.

I already had those yet i still thanked you because you tried to help me. I have added those long ago using google 2 bytes, 4 bytes and float big endian. My goal was not to find values but to make my script read them as and write them as big endian.

The solution is to make an allocation for the values where lua will read bytes 4 bytes in a row while writing them in reverse order to a temp location which will be used by other scripts as a converted value.

Tim is right about one thing scripts must be made so others can use them as a basis for their work or at least i think how this shall be.

a lua script must read the bytes one by one... then write them in reverse order one by one up to 4 bytes integer value which CE will use a a base for scripts to read. AT least in my cause all i need is 4 bytes converted to "readable" format.

I will do it

Okay, nope problem. Just little misunderstanding on my side. Because you said "Thanks Corudder . I value your help i will try it i already have found some way to convert the values to big endian although call it primitive but at least works.

Then if you already have solutions for your cases before peoples trying to finding the solution for you, at least you are writing on your topic, problem solve and case closed, with those peoples no need to spend their times to solve a solved case and also with that, there is no need to post things outside the topic.

Ans also I want to remind not only you but each CEF member also isn't necessarily to give help or to solve problems against every topic in this forum. So think wisely and positively. Case closed

That's what custom types do.
Use getCustomType(typename) to get a custom type from Lua, and use byteTableToValue / valueToByteTable methods to convert an AoB to/from that custom type.
