Hey. I'm working on some stuff (dodge system to Gothic 3 via cheat engine, Autohotkey software is too laggy), and I've created some timer script (to be honest copy-pasted-edited it Embarassed)

Code:

function d1(sender)
  getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("back-dash").Value=2500
    getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("side-dash").Value=2500
     getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("forward-dash").Value=2500
end
createHotkey(d1, 16)

function d2(sender)
  getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("back-dash").Value=280
    getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("side-dash").Value=280
     getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("forward-dash").Value=400
end

t=createTimer(nil, false)
timer_onTimer(t, d2)
timer_setInterval(t, 260)

t.Enabled=true
createHotkey(function () timer_setEnabled(t,true) end, 16)


So, I want that effect:
when I press shift, 3 values from my adress list will change to 2500 (function d1), after 260 miliseconds from shift press, those values will automatically change to values from d2 function (btw those are default in-game values).

I get only half success - indeed it works, but not all the time... Sometimes values gets changed with delay, sometimes values are not even changing after key is pressed, or even after "spamming" shift key - it's not acceptable for usage of this script.

So question is, is there something wrong in that script?
Thanks

Would recommend using script to setup hotkey (http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5679193#5679193).
This should work
Code:
local getmr = getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription;
function d1(sender)
   getmr("back-dash").Value=2500
   getmr("side-dash").Value=2500
   getmr("forward-dash").Value=2500
end
function d2(sender)
   getmr("back-dash").Value=280
   getmr("side-dash").Value=280
   getmr("forward-dash").Value=400
end

local tRevert = createTimer(nil,false)
tRevert.Interval = 260;
tRevert.onTimer = function(self)
   d2();
   self.enabled = false;
end
function DoMagic()
   d1()
   tRevert.Enabled = true;
end
hk = (hk and hk.destroy() or createHotkey(DoMagic,VK_SHIFT)) -- avoid having hotkey duplicates

And indeed, it works PERFECTLY, seriously - finally I won't get annoyed by failed dodges caused by input lag anymore, thank You very much for quick and accurate help, DaSpamer. Wink
Rep up of course Smile
I love helpfullness of some people on this forum Smile

Here is what evolved from that cheat table and simple auto hotkey script (normally there aren't any dodge system in this game)
