Code:


local x=5
registerSymbol("x",getAddress("x"))  -- line 2
writeFloat('12345678',x)


Script cannot be activated with line 2.
Is my syntax for registerSymbol() correct?
And if this is wrong so then how to register a symbol or variable present in my lua script so that it can be used in cheat table?

registerSymbol takes a custom name, and an address which causes that name to be the specified address when used in AA script asm sections

a lua var doesn't really have an address, so you can't pass that. But you can pass it's value as if it's an address (as long as it's an integer)

e.g:
Code:

local x=5
registerSymbol("xvalue",x)
writeFloat(0x12345678,getAddress('xvalue'))


Why you'd want to do that is something else, but it works
