I'm doing a cheat table on wolfenstein the new order, and the player struct's index changes once a while, and I would like to update the calculated index using my lua script.
How would I be able to run it every once a while, preferably just before cheat engine's "freeze" updates?

Try this timer loop to update the indexes:
Code:

t1=createTimer(nil, false)

function startTimer(timer, func, mlsec)
   timer.onTimer=func
   timer.Interval=mlsec
   timer.Enabled=true
end

function updateIndex()
     --
     -- this section will be executed every 4 minutes,
     -- insert the script here to update the indexes.
     --
end

startTimer(t1, updateIndex, 240000)   --set the time here in milliseconds

Your indexes will be updated every 4 minutes, change 240000 to any milisecond, for example 60000 to get 1 minute interval.
You can stop the timer this way:
t1.Enabled=false
Or start it again:
startTimer(t1, updateIndex, 240000)
Do NOT start it multiple times!
Be careful with "t1", do not use it for other purposes,
instead create another timer object, like "t2", "t3"... and use this way:
Code:

t2=createTimer(nil, false)
startTimer(t2, yourFunction, 5000)

Destroy the timer object if you don't need it anymore:
Code:

  t2.Destroy()
  t2=nil

Good luck.
