I've been trying to convert an AutoAssembly script to a lua one, so that I could run it with the generic trainer from the generic trainer generator, upon inspection, it looks fine to me (I have extremelly poor coding skills, this is acually a thing I've been doing to learn) but whenever I try to run it I get an error that says: [string "{$lua}..."]:1: unexpected symbol near '{'
this has been bugging me a lot, even if that is deleted (whole first lines) everything seems to be unexpected, I am fully aware this has to do with my own inhability to work around these kinds of tools and that the mistake is mine, but I am too new to this to understand what went wrong. help is appreciated, this is the code:
Code:
 
{$lua}
if syntaxcheck then return end

[ENABLE]


scan = AOBScan("01 02 EB 10 DD 43 08")[0]
registerSymbol("roomcontrol",scan)

mem = allocatememory(0x1000)
registerSymbol("newmem",mem)


label(return)

newmem:
  add [edx],#-1
  jmp SPOOKY.exe+14CF5B
  fld qword ptr [ebx+08]
  jmp return

roomcontrol:
  jmp newmem
  nop 2
return:
autoAssemble([[
label(return)

newmem:
  add [edx],#-1
  jmp SPOOKY.exe+14CF5B
  fld qword ptr [ebx+08]
  jmp return

roomcontrol:
  jmp newmem
  nop 2
return:
]])

[DISABLE]
writeBytes(scan, 0x01, 0x02, 0xEB, 0x10, 0xDD, 0x43, 0x08)

unregisterSymbol("newmem")
unregisterSymbol("roomcontrol")

deAlloc(mem,0x1000)
scan = nil
mem = nil

Also, most codes from downloaded trainers tend to fail too, even if they worked once before, and the game hasn't had any updates for years, so it can't be a patch. I also verified that the trainers were using permanent adresses, which still work.

Use "autoAssemble", you wont need to convert mutch and ASM runs faster so you'll get less lag.

But ultimately the lua "AOBscan" returns a list not an address. Plus you still have ASM in the lua script.
