Hi Is it possible to run a Lua Script automatically when i attach a Process with Cheat Engine without clicking the "Execute script" Button?

yes, place the lua scriopt in the autorun folder and in there hook (redefine)

Code:

function onOpenProcess(processid)

in there you can do specific things to the newly opened process.
in 6.3 I recommend creating a timer, which executes a new function on process open. That way the code will run in the main thread. (which is required for gui access)

Thank you for the fast replay.

I tryed this Method:

Code:

function onOpenProcess(processid)
debugProcess(2)
end

I wanna attach the Debugger at openprocess but Cheat Engine is crashing.
Like you said i have probably to add a Timer for that but unfortunately i dont rly know how exactly i should do this.

I would apprecciate a Code Sample.

something like this:

Code:

function dostuff(sender)
sender.destroy()
debugProcess(2)
end

originalOnOpenProcess=onOpenProcess;

function onOpenProcess(processid)
t=createTimer(nil)
t.OnTimer=dostuff
t.Interval=1
t.Enabled=true

if originalOnOpenProcess~=nil then
originalOnOpenProcess(processid)
end
end
