Cheat Engine

EDIT: Just looked and I am a bit confused is this was the right sub-forum for this question compared to "General Gamehacking", Sorry if this isn't the right section.

The game I'm trying to cheat has a free version and a paid version, despite both of them being on "Alpha 13" they have slightly different internals, in particular the function that I'm trying to hook has entirely changed(picture of IDA screenshot below). I want to make a single script that works for both of these but am having issues doing so.

Is there anyway to do something like this?(this is not valid of course)

Currently, AA Script will abort the execution when error encountered
No result for an AA aobscan is considered error. So It is not be possible to search 2 exclusive aobscan in one AA script.

But AA script can be mix with lua script, and lua script should be executed before AA script.
May be the 2 aobscan can be done on lua 1st then register the address to a symbol.
However, lua AOBScan will search for all memory for all possible match, it won't just return 1 result. A custom Memory Scan may need to made to return one and first match.

Going lua may be not your prefer way of hacking.

Here an alternative suggestion.

Make 2 cheat entries with paid and free version respectively, said P and F script.

Then make another script G like this:
[ENABLE]
globalalloc(VERSION,4)
VERSION:
dd 0
[DIABLE]

Then drag and drop P and F under G, then right click G and set 'Group Config' -> ''(De)activate this entry (De)activate child'.

Like these:
G
+-P
+-F

Inside P somewhere add these lines:
VERSION:
dd 1

and in the beginning of F, added this
assert(VERSION,00 00 00 00)

Now by click G, G will allocate VERSION and set it to 0.
Then P will be executed.
If P success , VERSION will be written as 1 otherwise it will keep as 0.

No matter P success or not, F will be executed afterward.
But if P success, the assert in F will be fail, so stop the aobscan in F.

Also, inside F, you may insert
VERSION:
dd 2

...so that if there are other script need to executed according to the version. You can insert an appropriate beginning command
assert(VERSION,01 00 00 00) // for example

Hope it work like you want.

If it's a learning exercise then more power to you, but I just wanted to chime in to say that if someone were giving me a table I would 100% prefer it to have separate, simple scripts for each version than convoluted AA (or worse, Lua) that tries to do everything at once. It will also be much easier to update small, simple scripts than big monolithic monsters that even the author won't understand two years in the future.

@panraven Thanks! I didn't know you could use lua inside a AA script, I'll try doing that.
