 Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:32 am Post subject: [Q] Complex Lua question |P to Unicode String to P on Button |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
I wanted to get more into assembler and LUA so I decided to take one of my favorite games apart, so far successfully, learning a lot in the meantime.
However, I have run into a wall that I can't solve yet.
What I have:
Level 2 pointer to X
Level 2 pointer to Y
Level 4 pointer to X2
Level 4 pointer to Y2
What I want:
At the press of a button, I want to read from X2, Y2 and put the value into the memory of X, Y respectively.
The issue:
X and Y are floats
X2 and Y2 are Unicode String[5] and need to be parsed.
I have no clue how to do all that at the press of a button
Nice to have:
Freezing X and Y via LUA as well instead of over Toggle Freeze.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards. |

You can use a timer to set the value of X and Y via Lua. As for the Unicode String you could use the Lua function tonumber(variable).
| Code: |
local x = "500.00"
-- print is to show the casting although visibly, they look the same.
print(tonumber(x))
|
For a timer you can do something like this:
| Code: |
local mytimer = createTimer(getMainForm())
mytimer.Interval = 1000 -- Interval is in milliseconds
mytimer.OnTimer = function()
local al = getAddressList()
local X = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Entry in table that has X description")
local Y = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Entry in table that has Y description")
local X2 = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Entry in table that has X2 description")
local Y2 = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Entry in table that has Y2 description")
-- Double-check that the entries exist
if X ~= nil and Y ~= nil and X2 ~= nil and Y2 ~= nil then
X.Value = tonumber(X2)
Y.Value = tonumber(Y2)
else
-- If the entries don't exist, we don't want the timer to continue running so we kill it
mytimer.destroy()
mytimer = nil
end
end
