 |
|
Hey guys im currently making a script for a game. Since I couldn't find a pointer that I needed I thought of making a script that will scan a range of addresses and save a few that have a needed value. Im using lua right now and my current code is working very slow. Here it is:
| Code: | function search_address()
local add = {};
for k = 1, 6 do
add[k] = 0;
end
for i = 150994944, 218103808 do
check = memoryReadInt (proc, i);
if (check == 17164) then
for j = 1, 6 do
if (add[j] == 0) then
add[j] = i;
break;
end;
end
end;
end
end |
Im scanning a small amount of addresses but it still takes so long. Is there a way to make it as fast as the scan on cheat engine.

rewrite memoryReadInt so it doesn't have to call the windows api each time it's called
How ce does it:
It first makes a copy of the game's memory using as few api calls as possible (aided by virtualqueryex to find out the locations of memory)
then the compare routine check the search value against the memory in the buffer.

engine's memory
Also, it doesn't always copy the whole memory. Usually only chunks of 2MB, unless unknown initial value is used
