So everbody knows how to freeze the value of an adress - it was even the first most used feature of my younger and more inexperienced self.

But you can just do so much with freezing values. So you'd naturally go on and develop more complex cheats using AOBs, ASM etc.

Unfortunately, there are usecases in which using the Autoassembler in conjunction with LUA is just too big a hassle to solve a superficially easy problem.
Such as freezing a value to prevent a game overriding it with lower values, but you'd want to allow the game to add to that value (to increase a stat for example).

So of course you could inject code into the exact place in the code where the address gets its value, do a CMP and figure out the rest...
It could be easier though!

How about a feature in CE which optinally allows a frozen entry to be in-/decreased? So as I understand, "freezing" just means that CE spams the content of the specific address with the value it was frozen with in a certain period.
So one could compare the current value of the address with the value it is supposed to be overwritten with and allow the overwriting if the new value is above/below the frozen value. So in a way it's like setting a min./max. value to an address.

The only problem I can foresee is the added computation time so "intelligent freezing" would need to have a bigger period in which it is invoked.

press the numpad + key to freeze a memory record which allows positive increase

numpad - will allow decrease only

next version you can even set a range
e.g:
Code:

[value>10 and value or 30]

this will then set the value back to 30 when it goes down to 10 (lua trickery)
(First freeze the address and then set the value to this)

Dark Byte said it all, I want to add that you can set the option to make it increase or decrease by clicking multiple times in a specific area of the address shown in the cheat table (Make sure that the check box "Active" is enabled):

Holy shit, well I somehow expected a feature like this to be implemented already, CE being the beast it is already...

Is there maybe a comprehensive list of predefined hotkeys and their functions? I'd like to check for features before posting suggestings Smile
