i want to use a variable to calculate an address offset

in the trainer you are able to enter your player number
(12 players on the server, you join, so your player number will be 13)

now i have to convert the player number into an hex offset

Code:

xOffset=playerNumber*0x8+0x4
xHex=string.format("%X", xOffset)
local xPos = readFloat("[game.exe+001829A4]+xHex")


if your player number is 1 xHex should be C, but running this code like this does not work for some reason
but it does work if xHex is 8 for example

is there a way i can use hex variables as an offset?

Code:
local xPos = readFloat(("[game.exe+001829A4]+%X"):format(playerNumber*0x8+0x4))
