Hiho,

Weired title i know...

Code:

{$lua}
local newmem = 'myNewMem'
local result = 0x12345

return ([[ define(%s, %s)]]):format(newmem, string.format('%X',result))

It seems the "consts / token" from define doesn't accept strings...

Anyway to get around this ?

seems to work fine

Code:

alloc(bla,1024)

{$lua}
local newmem = 'myNewMem'
local result = 0x12345

return ([[ define(%s, %s)]]):format(newmem, string.format('%X',result))
{$asm}

bla:
mov eax,myNewMem

I must have expressed myself wrong,

I want the same as if you were doing "Define(newmem, 0x12345)" in AA...

But via LUA script....

Code:

{$lua}
--psydo code
-- local result = 0x1401234
-- local memoryLabel = 'newmem'

return ([[ define(%s, %s)]]):format(memoryLabel, string.format('%X',result))

The AA Define() uses tokens / Const?

Hi,

i think i found the issue, issue ?

I called a function from the Cheat Table Lua Script from an AA script:

Cheat Table LUA Script:

Code:

function luaDefine(label, address)
return ([[define(%s,%s)]]):format(label, string.format('%x',address))
end

AA Script:

Code:

[ENABLE]
luacall(luaDefine('myLabel', 1401234)) //Doesn't work

{$lua}
luaDefine('myLabel', 1401234) -- WORKS

{$asm}
label(pPointer)
registersymbol(pPointer)

myLabel:
pPointer:
dq 0

[DISABLE]
unregistersymbol(pPointer)

gaga me or don't know....

It seems luacall doesn't return the return ? Or is it out of scope ?

i did a workaround with registerAutoAssambleCommand in the lua script and it returns how it should ^^ Much cleaner ?

PS: Workaround

Code:

function luaDefine(parameters, syntaxcheck)

// example 2
https://wiki.cheatengine.org/index.php?title=Lua:registerAutoAssemblerCommand

end

registerAutoAssemblerCommand('luaDefine', luaDefine)
