 Posted: Tue May 05, 2026 9:34 am Post subject: Auto Closing Cheat Engine- Want |
 |
|
How can I make cheat engine close itself after a certain amount of time and/or if the game I used it on are closed? Wuthering waves, for example will close itself if i left cheat engine opened. I now usually use cheat engine only for speed hack for Stoneshard. An auto close "setting" would be great if I accidently left CE open when I wanted to play WuWa.
So, what should I do? if you told me to "create this and that", my next question is probably "how" so, exact instruction is greatly appreciated.

I would start a timer (say, 3/s) to detect when the process is gone.
When the process is gone, I would start another timer (say, 2s).
When this second timer fires, I'd call terminate().
This was close CE in 2-5 secs after process termination.

Replace "Notopad.exe" with your application's executable name in the code, save the code to a ".lua" file, and place it in the CE>autorun folder.
Then, open CE first, and then the application to test it.
| Code: | if clsTmr then clsTmr.Destroy() clsTmr=nil end
clsTmr = createTimer()
clsTmr.Interval = 10
clsTmr.Enabled = false
clsApp = "notepad.exe"
clsTmr.OnTimer=function()
if getProcessIDFromProcessName(clsApp) then
--print("CE closed!")
closeCE()
return cafree
end
end
clsTmr.Enabled = true |

if the 'process' variable is not nil or an empty string and readByte(process) returns nil, close CE
maybe you're able to convert this to lua code

If it closed 'immediately' when you opened the target game, that means the code is working as intended. However, if it closes without the game being open, we need to debug the logic.
NOTE:
Please do not send your answers as "vague and uncertain."
Please specify whether the code works, whether it performs the task you intended, and if there are any missing or incorrect details.
