writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+660",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)

offset_1=0x630

function f2(offset)

end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it doesn't work as i intend(with no error)

why is it happens?

I can't say for sure, but maybe scope has something to do with why it's not working.

Try this:

[ｃｄ&]

thank you for your reply
do you mean below?:

function f2(offset)
local o = offset
if o == nil then print('Invalid offset') end
if type(o) == 'number' then o:format('%X') end
writeFloat("game.exe+01016E44]+o+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
local offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)

i try this code. and error: attempt to index a number value(local 'o')
maybe because of o:format('%X')

and i try below

function f2(offset)
local o = offset
writeFloat("game.exe+01016E44]+o.format('%X') +0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
local offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)

it doesn't work as I intend(with no error)

thank you for your code.
after my post, i struggle with this. and i found:

function f2(offset)
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+offset+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it doesn't work as i intend(with no error)
function f2(offset)
local o1=offset
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+o1+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it works as i intend

i think your code works because your idea is similar to mine
problem is solved. but why?
it is extraordinary strange!! why is it happened?!

[LeFiXER]

When you specify the address as a string, writeFloat expects it as such. 0x630 is a number value in hexadecimal format. If you test this code you will see why:

[ｃｄ&]

function f2(offset)

writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+string.format('%X',offset)+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it doesn't work as i intend

function f2(offset)
local o1=offset
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+o1+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it works as i intend

why does my code work as i intend? if your reply is right, o1 should be not 0x630 but 1584.
but it is compiled to 0x630

[LeFiXER]

To explain here:

[ｃｄ&]

not the main point, I didn't miss the opening square bracket "[" at the beginning of your string.maybe you miss-copied.

I understand string.format→literal. so,"game.exe+01016E44]+string.format('%X',offset)+0x30" means "number+string+number"
thank you


function f2(offset)
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+offset+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it doesn't work as i intend(with no error)
does it mean variable offset become literal?

function f2(offset)
local o1=offset
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+o1+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it works as i intend
why doesn't variable o1 become literal?

[LeFiXER]

Perhaps there is a mistranslation somewhere. The parameters required by the function:

[ｃｄ&]

ah-ha.i'm starting to understand little by little.
(I understand string.format→....."number+string+number") is totally wrong.
i wrote writeFloat(string,new_value).because of that, numerical calculation is not possible.
but just for "[game.exe]+number" writeFloat can calculate(because writeFloat is for hacking the game).
so,
"[game.exe+01016E44]+660"
"[game.exe+01016E44]+0x630+0x30"
offset_1=0x630 "[game.exe+01016E44]+offset_1+0x30"
is ok. and nevertheless type(offset)==number,
function f2(offset)
writeFloat("[game.exe+01016E44]+offset+0x30",v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
offset_1=0x630
f2(offset_1)
→it doesn't work as i intend(with no error)
is bad.

is it right?

[ParkourPenguin]

I'm shook this works:

[ｃｄ&]

>Kind of weird it only works with globals.
I'm getting to feel weird too.

function f2(offset) writeFloat(readPointer("game.exe+01016E44")+offset+0x30,v_default[1]+text1.text/1000)
end
your code is most readable and simple i 've ever seen. Let me adopt your code.
thank you
