Essentially I want to do what the following script, shamelessly stolen from zanzer, does, but with pointers.

Code:
function addMoreAddresses(baseAddress, num, step)
  local al = getAddressList()

  local base = al.createMemoryRecord()
  base.setAddress(baseAddress)
  base.setDescription("Base Address")
  base.Type = vtString
  base.String.Size = 0

  for i=0, num-1 do
    local rec = al.createMemoryRecord()
    local str = string.format("+%X", i * step)
    rec.setAddress(str)
    rec.setDescription(str)
    rec.appendToEntry(base)
  end
end

addMoreAddresses("002C083C", 10, 4)


Someone else mentioned wanting to accomplish similar, so zanzer offered the following edit of

Code:
local al = getAddressList()
...
local rec = al.createMemoryRecord()
rec.setAddress("00000000")
rec.setOffsetCount(3)
rec.setOffset(0, 0x10)
rec.setOffset(1, 0x20)
rec.setOffset(2, 0x30)


but I don't understand how to use it. My "base" pointer is
"[citra-qt-gcc-jit-18.exe+004DD2F0]+28E"
and I'd like to automatically add a bunch of address listings for every 110 up (something like 40 of them), to get +39E,+4AE, etc.

I've tried throwing my pointer in there at a few different points but the "0x10" and such has me completely lost, and I think the codes trying to add a bunch of offsets to ONE pointer which is not what I want; I want 40 different listings, each a single pointer.

Thanks for any help in advance, be it explaining how adding pointer records via LUA or just how to adapt the code above for this use-case. Been trying to shove my numbers in there in various places and while I can get it to work for non-pointers, I'm at a loss beyond that.

If I understood what you want, this will do.
Code:

quantity_address = 40
base_address = getAddress('[[citra-qt-gcc-jit-18.exe+004DD2F0]+28E]'
all_address = {}
affset = 0
displacement = 0x110

for i=1,quantity_address do
    all_address[i] = base_address + offset
    offset = offset + displacement
end

Yesterday I wrote an aimbot that used 40 addresses, to facilitate getting a list with all the addresses, I wrote a script similar to this.

Awesome, thanks both of you. Interesting to see the two different approaches to doing the same thing, too.

You missed a parenthesis and had a typo, but even after fixing those... running the script shoots no errors, but doesn't do anything. Not sure I explained what I'm trying to do correctly, so gonna use screenshots below

This made the addresses, but the new additions aren't pointers themselves; they're still just regular addresses. So they won't work next boot.

What I have is, the first pointer is the following:



Then the next exp pointer is


and that goes on for over 40 character slots. I don't want a big single code that runs each time to edit ALL exp; I want functional addresses for each one separately to be edited. Hoping to adjust the script to do the same for items, stats, etc. later but I need a working base to start with.

Filipe's script isn't adding any addresses and I don't even begin to understand it so I have no idea why. zanzer's is making the addresses, but the new ones aren't pointers, only the base one is. I... think I might be able to adjust it using the code that made the base a pointer correctly, but wanted to post this so that if I fail a response might be added when I get off work.

Edit: Fixed images because apparently foruming is hard.

When I wrote that script, I got the wrong impression of what you really needed.

If you wanted them all separate, instead of children...
Code:
local al = getAddressList()

local offset = 0x28E
for i = 1, 40 do
  local rec = al.createMemoryRecord()
  rec.Description = string.format("+%X", offset)
  rec.Address = "citra-qt-gcc-jit-18.exe+004DD2F0"
  rec.OffsetCount = 1
  rec.Offset[0] = offset
  offset = offset + 0x110
end

Perfect Zanzer, thank you! Yup that's what I wanted; previously it was just making them all children of the single pointer, with the children having no offset.
