So, pretty much I want a script that will print out a value at a specific address everytime it changes. I can't manage to get it to print out correctly, as it is 4 Byte Big Endian. So pretty much I would like it to get printed out to the console or some way I can put it into a spreadsheet, already converted.

Since ce's lua doesn't have support for readCustomTypeAsInt()/readCustomTypeAsFloat() yet you'll need to add the big endian address to the addresslist using the big endian custom type ( http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=544988 ) and then use lua to read it as a string

Code:

al=getAddressList()
mr=addresslist_getMemoryRecord(al,0) --get the first entry in the list
lastValue=memoryrecord_getValue(mr)

print(lastValue)

function readValueTimer(t)
  local currentValue=memoryrecord_getValue(mr)
  if currentValue ~= lastValue then --value changed
    print(currentValue)
    lastValue=currentValue
  end
end

t1=createTimer(nil)
timer_setInterval(t1,100) --check every 1/100th second if the value has changed
timer_onTimer(t1,readValueTimer)


to stop execute
Code:

object_destroy(t1)

How can I make this script check the address more often?

It is missing at least 50% of the values. This means it is not printing 50% of the values.

Thanks!!

EDIT:

I found that changing the setinterval to 10 now prints all values. Very Happy
