Cheat Engine

Hey! wondering if anyone could help me out with a quick question. I want to interface directory with the Cheat Engine LUA engine without actually opening up cheat engine. I know you can autorun scripts in the "Auto Run" folder, and that works fine and well but the cheat engine GUI opens up everytime, which i dont want. What I want is to do is this:

run python script that does some things -> uses cheatengine lua engine to AOB scan for bytes, writes addresses found/error to file -> python reads file.

I've already got the AOB script, the python script, the file writing, all of that. Problem is currently what I do is I run cheat engine, then close it. Any way to directly run against the LUA engine without running the executable? or forcing the executable into the background? CE GUI seems to have hard coded bring window to front in it. So creating a win shortcut and making it force hide doesnt work, neither does starting with cmd prompt /MIN option.

Any ideas?

The code below will provide the invisibility you want.
However, it will run delayed with a one-second blinking effect at startup.
You can change it to visible or invisible with the F8 key.

Or you can take what you need from the code and use it.

To test, package the code into a lua file, drop it into the CE>>Autorun folder and open a CE window.
