Is there a way to search with sequence of values type?
Like i want to search a date of birth of player. Its represented by 3 addresses one after another.
So i would select sequence of values. set the no to 3 and in each box i will enter 16(date), 2(month) and 1983(year). and scan?

this can be done through artmoney? I cant find a way through cheat engine? Please help as i love cheat engine and dont wana use artmoney. Also how do i search sequence of values through lua scripting?

Use the "grouped" datatype (in the byte/2 bytes/4 bytes/float/... drop down list).

1-Examine and understand how what you put into the "generate groupscan command" wizard translates into a groupscan string (probably something like "4:5 4:2 4:1975")
2-Build groupscan commands in lua via string concatenation (something like "4:"..day.." 4:"..month.." 4:"..year).
3-Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Cheat Engine 6.3\main.lua in notepad and learn how to use the "firstScan" command.

But still, I don't like the idea of doing data scans in a trainer; I'd rather find a pointer or another certain way to find the data I want... Anyway you do like you want.

actually there is no multilevel pointer for this game. i have searched a lot.
Also i have learnt how to do a first scan. i didnt get your 2nd point. how to do this? an example script? sorry im new to lua. "cudnt get what you meant by 'Build groupscan commands in lua via string concatenation (something like "4:"..day.." 4:"..month.." 4:"..year)'

i think i should post in lua scripting section from here.

If you know the date, why not convert the number to hex and build an 'AoB' (since those addresses are grouped).

Here's example of how I would do it
(Beware, this script has no visual 'progress' like C.E itself has, so you'll have to make it work with your needs.);

It's quite simple just kinda pain convert it to actual string aob (you can alternatively insert it as hex)
