Edit: worked it out - see bottom for details
Hi, new to this so please forgive me but I have looked for a while on these forums and haven't found anything that works.
I'm working on a project that uses cheat engine to get addresses from SSBU (running on yuzu) using AOB scans. This is controlled by a python script running LUA subprocesses and needs to happen at multiple different times. I'm currently running LUA by a python equivalent of this
"C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.5\Cheat Engine.exe" -cetrainer "C:\Users\...\script.CETRAINER"
The process runs silently and outputs to a file, as expected, but once completed, does not close and appears not to detach from the emulator. As such I can't run any more trainer files on the yuzu instance after. The cheat engine process that was spawned still appears in task manager, and if i close it yuzu also immediately closes.
Below is the LUA code - I'm just looking for a way to detach from the process so that later processes can attach successfully
| Code: |
openProcess(##PID##)
local pattern = "43 0F 11 4C 25 00 4D 8B 67 50 4D 8D 5C 24 08"
local result = AOBScan(pattern)
local abs_path = "##ABSPATH##"
local file = io.open(abs_path, "w")
local foundlist = {}
local numrecords = 0
debug_setBreakpoint(result[0], function()
local target=R13+R12
if foundlist[target]==nil then
file:write(string.format("%X\n", target))
foundlist[target]=true
numrecords = numrecords + 1
if numrecords > 0 then
debug_removeBreakpoint(result[0])
file:flush()
file:close()
openProcess(0)
print("Process closed and detached")
end
end
end) |
I have tried closeProcess() in place of openProcess(0) but no luck. Any help would be appreciated
| Code: | openProcess(##PID##)
local pattern = "43 0F 11 4C 25 00 4D 8B 67 50 4D 8D 5C 24 08"
local result = AOBScan(pattern)
local target = nil
local abs_path = "##ABSPATH##"
debug_setBreakpoint(result[0], function()
target=R13+R12
if target ~= nil then
local file = io.open(abs_path, "w")
file:write(target)
file:flush()
debug_removeBreakpoint(result[0])
createTimer(1000, function()
closeCE()
end)
end
end) |
This is what i ended up with. Needed to set closeCE() on a timer after removing the breakpoint
