Cheat Engine

Doing my best to learn but there are so many huge gaps in my understanding.

Here's what I got:

I have a game that I know accepts Lua scripts.
I have a function name and address
0052B660 - SetMoveSpeed

Now I'm lost. I need a script to allow me to use that function to set my base movement speed.

I humbly throw myself upon your mercy and wisdom.

CE doesn't allow you to call Lua functions from another games Lua engine. It doesn't work like that. Unless you to a handful of hooking and attach yourself into their Lua engine and all that jazz. But by default, CE doesn't do this.

If you just want to call stuff in their Lua engine though, you can do stuff like:
- Find the function address to their Lua engines functions for stuff like:
-- luaL_loadstring / lua_pcall
- Inject a thread to call these functions.
- Ensure you inject and point your function to a string buffer too for the string that you will be using.

Overall it's a lot of work. You're better off finding out what their function does to the raw object and just adjust speed that way rather then messing with their Lua engine stuff.

Thanks Wiccan. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
The idea behind this was to learn .dll injection. I think I need to take a few steps backwards and get a more solid basic foundation in Lua before I attempt this.
