 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2025 1:17 pm Post subject: Memory Scan doesn't return when it's vtByteArray? |
 |
|
| Code: | | ms.firstScan(soExactValue, vtByteArray, nil, AOB, '', startAddress, endAddress, "", fsmNotAligned, "1", true, false, false, false) |
I've checked the docs, but it still doesn't find any result, searching the AOB manually finds it
Yes, I've created foundlist for memscan
Yes, I'm using 'waitTillDone' method for waiting for the results

Rounding type should be something (e.g. rtRounded), not nil. It doesn't matter if it's not relevant for a vtByteArray scan- argument parsing by CE might not expect a nil value.
protection flags is an empty string. I don't know what the default is, but it should be explicitly specified.
Could always be something else not included in what you posted. A complete example is always appreciated.

it still cannot find anything even after putting rtRounded, the start address and end address are valid, as they indicate the module start and end addresses
Leaving protection flags indicates that it will search anything, as documented in celua.txt: | Code: | protectionflags is a string.
X=Executable W=Writable memory C=Copy On Write. Add a + to indicate that flag MUST be set and a - to indicate that that flag MUST NOT be set. (* sets it to don't care)
Examples:
+W-C = Writable memory exluding copy on write and doesn't care about the Executable flag
+X-C-W = Find readonly executable memory
+W = Finds all writable memory and don't care about copy on write or execute
"" = Find everything (is the same as "*X*C*W" ) |

dh.destroy()
-- result count: 1
-- result addr : 299F0164E93 |

creating a found list after searching fixed the issue, I'm grateful for that
