I was unaware about this feature, till recently. And i would now like to write a function that produces/add such memrecord from within the 'Dissect Data structure' form:

goal: achieve [ https://imgur.com/icc75P9 ]

I see 2 approaches:
a) (preferable): add the currently selected Element to the addresslist, following right_Bottom convention (instead of left_bottom convention as done now)
> my issues: (no functions for ?)
1) how to get my currently selected element (i could always ask for current offset as workaround)
2) how to get parent of current structure.

b) use the left_bottom memrecord, to collect info from appropriate structures. that should definitely be do-able currently; but first want to know if a) is a no-go atm...


ps: in the image, the last offset should show 'Character.PrimaryActor...etc' (had not yet created a 'Character' struct for that)

in the treenode of the structure window, the parent of nodes contain a pointer as integer to the structure it's describing in the children.

example on how to get/use that data:

^ i have to admit that this is out of my comfortzone. but some quick googling gave me this: [ https://www.cheatengine.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5772907&sid=573f340a92f2055c24d4cd7386cab64a#5772907 ].

And once i understood what offsetlist[] collected, i basically got my solution... I've tried to collect the (sub)structure addresses (at each offset) in the while loop, but can't seem to get that working (for now). So did another loop with #offsetlist and using the Baseaddress of the 'main' structure (which i get from your abovementioned code).

-EDIT-
Got it worked out. If anyone is interested in the code, see here: [ https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?p=213846#p213846 ]
