 Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:57 pm Post subject: Use cheat table value in AOB script? |
 |
|
Hi all, I have my base player pointer held in my cheat table as BasePlayer, is there a way I can use this in an AOB script, for example to compare RCX to the address in BasePlayer?
Basically have shared op codes so was thinking if I can access that value I can just compare RCX to the address in BasePlayer.
Thanks

If the symbol is registered (e.g. registersymbol / globalalloc functions) you can use it directly in the script.
You won't be able to activate the script if the symbol isn't registered, however. Most people solve this by making that script a child of the script that defines the symbol, then hiding children if the parent script is disabled (right click menu).
You could also put globalalloc in both scripts. CE only allocates globalalloc memory once and never deallocates it.
Script 1:
| Code: | ...
alloc(BasePlayer,8)
BasePlayer:
dq 0
newmem:
mov [BasePlayer],rsi
...
registersymbol(BasePlayer)
... |
Script 2:
| Code: | ...
newmem:
push rbx
mov rbx,BasePlayer // might not be able to directly address the memory if it's not nearby
cmp [rbx],rcx
pop rbx
je ...
|
Note that the code injection in the second script might run before script 1 has initialized BasePlayer. Check if it's 0 if that matters.

Thank you, would you recommend doing it with another auto population script, or should i access it through its pointer in just one script?
Out of interest is this what cheat tables are doing when you press [enable] (populating values in the background before you actually enable the cheats)?

If it's a pointer, you could traverse the pointer path manually.
| Code: | push rbx
mov rbx,[game.exe+1234]
mov rbx,[rbx+3E8]
mov rbx,[rbx+D0]
cmp rbx,rcx
pop rbx

I'm not sure what you mean by that. When you enable an AA script, CE's Auto Assembler does what you write in the script.
If you're talking about the assembly code written in the script, the game will execute that when the original code was supposed to be executed. e.g. if you inject code at an injection point that's only run when a button is pressed, your injected code will only run when the button is pressed. It won't magically run on its own the instant the script is enabled.

What i meant was when i download a cheat table you can't normally see anything and have to check that [enable] box and then all the options for the cheats appear, so i am guessing it forces you to press it so that everything populates, as if the game is out of date the enable button wont work so i wont see any cheats (i mean in exisiting cheat tables others have created)

They all still exist; they're just hidden when the script is disabled. Right click a memory record that has others appended to it and select "Group config -> Hide children when deactivated"
