Cheat Engine

I've had this on my mind for a bit now, but I wasn't sure it would be possible to achieve. I was thinking you know you can like set float and double values to inf which is 999999999999999999999 approximately, I was thinking of creating something that's like a better version of that but works for every value type. e.g lets say you wanted a infinite amount of something on a game, say like 500 of it, you would then type in the value infinite=500 in the value section. I was thinking this could be achieved by putting a certain script into the address somehow. I think this would be a very useful feature if someone managed to create a plugin for it or DB could implement it into the next version of ce.

Er, you do know that you can check the box to the left of an address in the list to make Cheat Engine reset it's value once every ~250ms, making it effectively inifinite for most situations, right?

Anyway, setting value to +inf => you can shoot for infinite time, because [(inf+) - 1.0] is still inf+

- friezed value = you can shoot for infinite time

Advantages:
- better than "freeze" (by default CE overwrite value every 100ms, we can set this interval to 10ms or 1ms, but sometimes this isn't enough)

- better than AA script - sometimes you have to find few "hack-points" (one procedure decrease HP value when you got hit, other procedure decrease HP when you fall).

Disadvantages
- only floating point types: single, double, long double
- doesn't work if game check IsInfinite (many games do check isNan and IsInfinite)
- doesn't work if game overwrites bigger values (if HPValue > HPmaximum then HPValue:=HPmaximum)
