I was testing this script and although it seems to work well
but does not seem possible to change the Value while write on the EDIT BOX because the timer continues obviously to overwrites any typing on EDIT BOX.

The goal would be to write a currency on the Edit Box, the same one used to read the current value and while this is done the timer stops blocking the typing, then resumes normally when you are not writing on the Edit Box

check if CETrainer.CEEdit1.focused is true, and if it is don't overwrite

Try this; (For testing purposes.)

Before running the code, make sure there are 2 entries in the address list, as shown in the picture.
Or create two entries and write their descriptions in the relevant place in the code.
(For EdtAddr1 and EdtAddr2.)

You cannot follow this script.
The timer will never stop and will generate a new timer each time this code is referenced.
So it will continue writing to the "Editbox".
So the timer you want to stop will generate a question "Which one?"
Execute this code 5 times and you will generate 5 timers!

Hey AylinCE, But yes great! the script is certainly excellent with some modifications, honestly initially I thought it was something to be used exclusively with 2 CEEDIT.

Anyway, I was to search the correct lua form for this statments

in order to broaden the possibilities, but it seems that some statements are not fully considered probably because they were written incorrectly, I was looking for something like,

[AylinCE]

Try your questions on this form.
Don't forget; The name of this form is: "frm1", use your form name in your code.

Hey

[AylinCE]

Coding a window-oriented test:

If the focus is on the Trainer, the timer will stop, otherwise the timer will run.

Your timer for printing the value to "CEEdit1": TimerAA
Your function is: startMsg()

[FIRESKY]

Great tip AylinCE, ll start right away by trying this one that seems right for me,
everything seems to work fine but when I go back to modify the CEEdit the timer still runs and doesn't allow me to write in the CEEDIT,

should I put it in some "EVENT"? I'm probably missing some information from you while I try this.

Also when you say with:
"With window focus;" What do you mean?

OMG AylinCE this all seems perfect! But just a doubt here:
The highlighted part actually changes the currency in play and seems to be essential because if I remove it then the timer continues to overwrite the CEEDIT.

Let me explain better, I just want to write in the CEEDIT but not for it to change the currency in the game,
this is because to do so I will use a separate button to do other things, which I wouldn't want to combine with this script if possible.

Basically I just want to be able to write without anything being modified in the game (At least until I execute the button in another function), everything else is perfect, but it would seem that this string is essential, so I can only write in edit without that this currency is modified in game?


CETrainer.CEEdit1.OnChange=function()
if CETrainer.CEEdit1.Text~="" then
script1.Value=CETrainer.CEEdit1.Text -------> (NOTE THIS STRING)
end
end


Another doubt arose in my mind, if the timer stops if I have the CETrainer in focus / in the foreground, and my game in windows mode in background, how does the timer overwrite the CEEDIT again if I remove this string

[AylinCE]

Now the script will change the value of the button.

And the timer is form-oriented.
When you get to the Trainer or CE the timer will stop.
If you switch to the game or notebook, the timer will continue to run.
