Hello. I am not new to CE or hacking for that matter, but i`ve just recently began to try scripting. The game is Saints Row IV and I`ve made a very simple instakill script, but on some entities it glitches out (if you instakill a warden, but fail to do a promt that appears soon after, he will stay in a state of 0 health but alive, with no way to kill him). I just made this script to change the health when you hit him to a fixed 10hp. the problem is, if more than one bullet hit him, meaning if his health turns to 0, he will enter the invincible state.
So i was wondering if there was a way to make the script disable iself, after checking if the enemy has the correct amout of health points (10 in this case).

If you know of a way to make it easier to do, please feel free to comment it and i will try it out.

TL;DR: need help ajusting the script to disable iself after it changes the enemies health

You might be better off looking for some value that tells you what type of enemy you're looking at- similar to what you're doing for bot vs player.

Would it be fine to change it to 10 only if it's more than 10?

Don't just copy/paste everything. Try to read the script and figure out a general idea of what each thing does.

Put the health_max alloc under the newmem alloc.
Delete label(kill) and replace it with label(exit)
Replace the code in newmem (includes code under both labels code and kill) with the code I posted.
The health_max code can be placed anywhere you want (I put it just under the code in newmem).
The four lines from INJECT: to return: make the game run the code in newmem, so leave those in.
I don't know why CE's template puts the registersymbol at the end of the enable section (I'd put it after allocs/labels), but leave it in regardless of where you decide to put it.
Also, since you're allocating more memory, you should deallocate it in the disable section.

I don't know how much I can help with the structure dissect window. Look for a difference between wardens and regular enemies that doesn't change. 1DD4, 1DF0, 1DF8, 1E00, and 1E0C are all possibilities.
It looks like 1E10 / 1E14 could be related to max health. Perhaps you could use that? Assuming no regular enemies have that much health, of course.

ok, thank you very much. It seems to work with the warden i've tried it on!
Do you know anywhere i could learn assembly/script writing? I dont fully understand it yet, and i still use the AOB Injection template for everything that i do.
Thanks again!

Not really. There's some information on the CE wiki as well as random tutorials scattered across YouTube and these forums.

If you're referring to x86/x64 specifically, search for something like "x86 tutorial" and you may find something worthwhile. Just be cautious of what you read- people that don't understand much can give bad information. Material from Intel / AMD is probably good but might be a little advanced for a beginner (e.g. their software developer's guides/manuals are great but intricate).
