I'm pretty new in Cheat engine and don't know anything about Lua but I think I have to use it.
I'm practicing with creating a cheat trainer for Terraria and here's what I want to do : I have static pointers which point to the X and Y of the player, and I want to create a noclip with these two. I wanted to do a assembler script which when enabled, if you click on the right arrow key, X value is incremented by 10 for example. But I have no idea how to do that, I think I need Lua script but I don't even know if we can enable and disable like an assembler script.

If somebody could lead me I would be very grateful Surprised

It focuses on a single address in the address list and allows you to increase (key: Right) or decrease (key: Left) the value when you give the correct description name (Change "No description").

-- Lua script:
Code:
function icreaseValue(desc,val,ops)

getMemRecByDesc = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription
CheatEntry=getMemRecByDesc(desc)
  if ops==2 then
    CheatEntry.Value = CheatEntry.Value + tonumber(val)
  elseif ops==1 then
    CheatEntry.Value = CheatEntry.Value - tonumber(val)
  end
end

function keyFunc1() -- decrease
sleep(100)
icreaseValue("No description","10.0",1)
end

function keyFunc2() -- increase
sleep(100)
icreaseValue("No description","10.0",2)
end

if lkey then lkey.Destroy() lkey=nil end
if rkey then rkey.Destroy() rkey=nil end

lkey=createHotkey(keyFunc1,VK_LEFT)
rkey=createHotkey(keyFunc2,VK_RIGHT)

It's perfectly working, thanks a lot !! Surprised
But even with changing the sleep time amount, it keeps being slow.. How could I make it smoother ?
And do you know how could I make it like an assembler script ? (like active, non-active)

Code:
function ScrActives()
sleep(100)
getMemRecByDesc = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription
CheatEntry=getMemRecByDesc("No description") -- edit; Your script desc ..
  if CheatEntry.Active==false then
    CheatEntry.Active=true
  else
    CheatEntry.Active=false
  end
end

if akey then akey.Destroy() akey=nil end

akey=createHotkey(ScrActives,VK_F8)


The sleep time was set only to ensure that it detects key pressure properly.
You can reduce or increase it to a suitable period. (50ms or 200ms)

Changing sleep time or even removing it do not really slowing it down, if I increase to like 10000, it's working but it keeps being slow if I put it small or removing it. (when I say slow, it's between 1 second and I'd say 300-400ms, it's kind of random)

Not "sleep()"
For stable clicking.
Code:
setGlobalDelayBetweenHotkeyActivation(1)


Fast and asynchronous (Random) (You will understand from the value change.)
Code:
setGlobalKeyPollInterval(1)


Edit:

Code:
function icreaseValue(desc,val,ops)

getMemRecByDesc = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription
CheatEntry=getMemRecByDesc(desc)
 if CheatEntry.Active==true then
  if ops==2 then
    CheatEntry.Value = CheatEntry.Value + tonumber(val)
  elseif ops==1 then
    CheatEntry.Value = CheatEntry.Value - tonumber(val)
  end
 end
end

instead of setGlobalDelayBetweenHotkeyActivation(1) you can also use createHotkey and then set the hotkey's individial DelayBetweenActivate to 1

this way if you have other hotkeys they don't flicker on/off 50 times and end up in a random state when you press the hotkey
