Reply with quote

Where can I find the newest Lua syntax for CE? I couldn't find everything in main.lua. For example, I use the following to change the text of a label:

Code:

control_setCaption(CETrainer.CELabel1, "This is a test.")

Is this the newest syntax of CE? Also, how about this:

Code:

getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription('BugCheck-1').Active=true

I have a feeling that I am not coding every efficiently. I learnt some new syntax here and there from the posts on this forum. I would like to know if there is a place where I can find more information about the new Lua syntax.

Thanks a lot.[/code]

If I understood what you meant, then take a look at it here. And with the CE open go to "Help" -> "Cheat Engine Help" -> "Memory Viewer" -> "Script Engine". _________________ ...

the newest/recommended way to set the caption is using

Code:

CETrainer.CELabel1.Caption="This is a test."

main.lua:

Quote:

Label Class: (Inheritance: GraphicControl->Control->Component->Object)
-- nothing of note here
...
GraphicControl Class: (Inheritance: Control->Component->Object)
-- nothing of note here either
...
Control Class: (Inheritance: Component->Object)
properties:
Caption: string - The text of a control
-- ^ Oh look, the thing

Your second example involving getAddressList is fine.
