Hello there I'm making a trainer for a old sega game using retroarch emulator. The game is Dark Wizard. Found all the values i want, all the pointers etc. which I already have in my trainer. However, how would i go about adding a list of items that can be added to the characters inventory, I have a list of over 500 items and have all the addresses to put them on. but not sure how to go about adding that into the trainer.

I got them all into the CE. got the addresses for each item for each character. 40 characters plus leader and 2 sub leaders. Plus got all the spells for everyone also. I have them all working in my ct file. However no clue how to implement this into the trainer. Cause that would be ALOT of hotkeys to setup.

For example here is the Character 2 slot item list.

If i can figure out how to do this part correctly and get it into my trainer then i can do the spells also which btw is 88 spells plus the 196 items for each of basically 43 characters

Really going on 3 or 4 days and not one person can give me a hand here?
Ive searched all over google on how to do it to no avail. Ive searched through this forum and others like it to no avail. I ask for help got over 100 views on it, but not one comment, or helpful idea.

I don't know what you want anyone else to tell you. Make a trainer yourself? Maybe a treeview, a listview, some comboboxes or editboxes. Position them with anchors; program everything in Lua.
Read celua.txt for documentation and search these forums for examples.

If you want someone else to design a trainer for you, that's not likely to happen here. Try a third party site.

Alternatively, and in my opinion the best solution: leave it as a table.

If I sound a bit short, it's because I find it annoying when people either don't bother or don't know how to access information that's readily available to them. Read this webpage - specifically the linked section.

CE exposes an API through Lua that allows users to programmatically interact with CE. Part of this API is creating GUIs that act as a front end to trainers. There exists an automatic trainer generator that produces very simple trainers, but if you want anything more advanced, you'll need to create it yourself using Lua and the form designer.
Learn the Lua language first- there's plenty of videos/tutorials/guides online. CE uses Lua 5.3.
Then start learning the stuff CE adds to Lua. Most stuff is documented in celua.txt in the main CE directory.

Learning how to use a search engine (i.e. "site:cheatengine.org") can help you find information faster.

Guides such as this can be old but still have relevant information.
Videos such as this will hold your hand as they walk you through it.
CE wiki on Lua classes (celua.txt is more complete, but the wiki has examples)
CE wiki tutorial on ListView
CEF post w/ CT example
etc.

Thank you that was way more helpful. well not the first link but the rest im sure will be. Ya i wasn't asking for anyone to hold my hand, just to guide me in the right direction. just like with my error im getting when i generate the simple trainer. yes i found answers no they didn't help, still get same error. but that's OK. Ill figure it out.

yes i find it annoying also when people don't bother to search for the answers. or just expect everyone else to code the stuff for them.

Maybe i didn't word what i needed correctly, or do the searches correctly. that's on me. I even reworded my OP from how it was when i first made it. yet still didnt get any help or direction.

Heck only reason im even making this trainer is for my mother who has NO clue how to work CE. It is her favorite game, and when she found out i had it on my computer had me install it on hers.

Anyways, thanks for the tips i'll look into them and see what i can come up with.
