 Posted: Thu May 12, 2022 8:04 am Post subject: Why is my code not working? |
 |
|
I'm working with 2 addresses, reading the first (in-game match timer) and trying to adjust the value of the second based on the first, using a Lua script... but for some reason nothing happens, even when the checks should by all means pass.
| Code: |
matchTimer = readInteger('"game.exe"+addr1offset')
if matchTimer > 0 then -- Check if the match has started.
timer = createTimer(nil)
timer.OnTimer = max
timer.OnTimer = zero
timer.Interval = 20 -- 50 times a second, matches the in-game tick speed.
timer.Enabled = true
function max(timer)
if (matchTimer + 50) % 800 == 0 then
print("max check passed")
writeInteger('"game.exe"+addr2offset', 11) -- Maxing out the value.
end
end
function zero(timer)
if (matchTimer - 1) % 800 == 0 then
print("zero check passed")
writeInteger('"game.exe"+addr2offset', 3) -- Resetting the value after some time.
end
end
end

You must declare the functions before using them. The timer doesn't know what function max/zero is. Not only that, you can't set the timer to two functions simultaneously. Try this:
| Code: |
local matchTimer = readInteger('"game.exe"+addr1offset')
-- Check if the timer has already been created, if so then destroy it
if timer then timer.destroy(); timer = nil end
timer = createTimer(getMainForm())
timer.Interval = 20
timer.OnTimer = function()
local max = (matchTimer + 50) % 800
local zero = (matchTimer - 1) & 800
if matchTimer > 0 then
if matchTimer == max then
writeInteger('"game.exe"+addr2offset', 11)
elseif matchTimer == zero then
writeInteger('"game.exe"+addr2offset', 3)
end
end
end

Makes more sense, though this won't work - f.e. if the matchTimer was on 750 ticks (the point where I need to max out the value), this would take the 750 + 50 / 800 = 1, remaining 0, which doesn't match the matchTimer.
...to prevent further confusion - the matchTimer starts at 0 at the start of the match, increments by one 50 times a second and doesn't stop until the game ends, I need to set the 2nd address to 11 when the timer is at any multiple of 800 (-50), then set it back to 3 right after it hits the multiple of 800 (+1).
Though, one bigger problem that's preventing me from doing this - the matchTimer value in cheat engine seems to only update twice a second (not only the display one, but the actual value the script is reading), which is an issue I have absolutely no idea what to do about, since I need to have the script trigger on exact game ticks.
Okay THIS -
| Code: |
local matchTimer = readInteger('"game.exe"+AE0FC4')
if timer then timer.destroy(); timer = nil end
timer = createTimer(getMainForm())
timer.Interval = 20
timer.OnTimer = function()
if matchTimer > 0 then
if (matchTimer + 50) % 800 == 0 then
print("Maxed")
writeInteger('"game.exe"+D61974', 11)
elseif (matchTimer - 1) % 800 == 0 then
print("None")
writeInteger('"game.exe"+D61974', 3)
end
end
end
|
- absolutely seems to work, except only when I set a value that triggers it manually, which leads me to believe that CE's update rate is what's causing it to fail.
So, is there any way to increase that, or maybe completely ditch the game timer for a one with the same 50 ticks/second starting with the match, which I create myself within the script? It's not like I know how, just an idea.

| You can adjust the update interval in the general settings of Cheat Engine. It's near the bottom; I believe the default is set to 500ms.

In that code you say works, nothing is updating the matchTimer variable. It gets initialized once to `readInteger('"game.exe"+AE0FC4')` and never gets changed again.
I haven't looked at this topic for more than a few seconds, but maybe you want to put that in the OnTimer function?
| Code: | local matchTimer
...
timer.OnTimer = function(t)
matchTimer = readInteger('"game.exe"+AE0FC4')
... |
IIRC timers have the same resolution as getTickCount (usually about 16-17ms).
If you want exact timing, use code injection.
