Hi

Whenever I try to use the AOBScan function in the Lua Engine, it is only returning nil. Here is my code:

Code:
util.aobscan = function(aob)
    local results = AOBScan(aob, "-C-W", 0, "")
    print(type(results))
    local new_results = {};

    for i = 0,results.Count - 1 do
        table.insert(new_results, getAddress(results[i]));
    end

    return new_results;
end


Whenever I use it, it prints "nil" and then errors. Why is this happening?[/quote]

If the pattern can't be found, AOBScan returns nil.

This returns an empty table:
Code:
util.aobscan = function(aob)
  local results = AOBScan(aob, "+X-C-W")
  local new_results = {}

  if results then
    for i = 0, results.Count - 1 do
      table.insert(new_results, getAddress(results[i]))
    end
  end

  return new_results
end
