hio, i need a function to first check the status of te checkbox in my form and activate and frezze the record of my script so far i have this but it doesnt work

Code:
function toggleRegister1()

    addressList   = getAddressList()
    normal_health = addressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode")

    UDF1.CECheckbox1.State =1

    if (checkbox_getState(UDF1.CECheckbox1) == 1 ) then
        memoryrecord_freeze(normal_health)
       
    else
        memoryrecord_unfreeze(normal_health)
        UDF1.CECheckbox1.State =0
    end
end

createHotkey(toggleRegister1,VK_F7)


the cheat need be avaliable by click in my checkbox and by hotkey

i have to create 5 more hotkeys in this way, any idea or hint what i am doing wrong? thanks in advance!

well you're setting the state to 1 and then saying if the state is 1 to freeze the memory record so that should always enable it.

Also, CE has an object oriented setup now as well so you can use eg. UDF.CECheckbox1.Checked = true and normal_health.Active = false

For CE 6.7 you can use something like this:

Code:
function setupScriptHandlers(description, checkboxName, hotkeys)
  local mr = AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription(description)
  if not mr then return nil end
  local cb = UDF1[checkboxName]
  if not cb then return nil end

  local handleScript = function(sender)
    local newState
    if sender == cb then -- if checkbox then match state
      newState = sender.Checked
    else -- otherwise hotkey so toggle
      newState = not mr.Active
    end
    -- update states
    mr.Active = newState
    cb.Checked = newState
  end

  cb.OnChange = handleScript
  return createHotkey(handleScript, hotkeys)
end

setupScriptHandlers('Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode', 'CECheckbox1', VK_F7)


Though I'd probably change it to take the actual memory record and checkbox rather than just names/descriptions, that way the memory records could be gotten from descriptions or ids or the selected memrec etc.

Code:
function setupScriptHandlers(mr, cb, hotkeys)
  if not mr or mr.ClassName ~= 'TMemoryRecord' or mr.Type ~= vtAutoAssembler then return nil, 'invalid memory record' end
  --if not cb or cb.ClassName ~= 'TCECheckbox' then return nil, 'invalid checkbox' end

  local handleScript = function(sender)
    local newState
    if sender == cb then -- if checkbox then match state
      newState = sender.Checked
    else -- otherwise hotkey so toggle
      newState = not mr.Active
    end
    -- update states
    mr.Active = newState
    cb.Checked = newState
  end

  if cb then cb.OnChange = handleScript end -- if we have a checkbox set the event
  if hotkeys then
    return createHotkey(handleScript, hotkeys) -- can get function from hotkey
  end
  return handleScript -- in case they _just_ want the function (no cb or hotkeys given)
end

setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode'), UDF1.CECheckbox1, VK_F7)

setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode'), UDF1.CECheckbox1, VK_F7)


thanks by pointing me to the solution, i will try your example, looks very good, it seems save a lot of code, i will try just get back to my home and update here my status, thank you so much!

UPDATE:

works like a charm if i only make one call to the function

but if i make another just right after, only works the last

i mean if i make this:

Code:
setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode'), UDF1.CECheckbox1, VK_F7)
setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Extreme Mode'), UDF1.CECheckbox2, VK_F8)

only works the last Sad

I'm not really sure way that is not working for the second. But I don't tend to work with hotkeys.

Hopeful this post will get @FreeER's attention.

thanks but for some weird reason i generate the trainer and works fine, maybe some weird conflict with the window game (Max Payne 3) and the cheat engine window program, i dont know, but the stand alone .exe trainer works fine.

thanks again

Thanks for the post/notification @TheyCallMeTim13 Smile

edit: well glad it works in the trainer lol

There is a small issue with checking the checkbox classname, but that's commented out anyways so I wouldn't expect that to be the issue (it should be TCECheckBox not TCECheckbox).

Hm, double check that you've got everything spelled correctly, one way would be to look at the message returned by the function

Code:
-- corrected function
function setupScriptHandlers(mr, cb, hotkeys)
  if not mr or mr.ClassName ~= 'TMemoryRecord' or mr.Type ~= vtAutoAssembler then return nil, 'invalid memory record' end
  if not cb or cb.ClassName ~= 'TCECheckBox' then return nil, 'invalid checkbox' end

  local handleScript = function(sender)
    local newState
    if sender == cb then -- if checkbox then match state
      newState = sender.Checked
    else -- otherwise hotkey so toggle
      newState = not mr.Active
    end
    -- update states
    mr.Active = newState
    cb.Checked = newState
  end

  if cb then cb.OnChange = handleScript end -- if we have a checkbox set the event
  if hotkeys then
    return createHotkey(handleScript, hotkeys) -- can get function from hotkey
  end
  return handleScript -- in case they _just_ want the function (no cb or hotkeys given)
end

-- misspelled name
hk1, msg1 = setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign EZ - Hard Mode'), UDF1.CECheckBox1, VK_F7)

-- correct
hk1Correct, msg1Correct = setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Easy - Hard Mode'), UDF1.CECheckBox1, VK_F7)

-- misspelled checkbox (apparently CECheckbox2 is ok here lol)
hk2, msg2 = setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Extreme Mode'), UDF1.CECheckox2, VK_F8)

-- can't use string for hotkey, must pass number eg. ('W'):byte(1) or string.byte('W',1)
hk2AlsoBad, msg2AlsoBad = setupScriptHandlers(AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Infinite Health Main Campaign Extreme Mode'), UDF1.CECheckBox2, 'W')

print(('%s %s'):format(hk1, msg1))
print(('%s %s'):format(hk1Correct, msg1Correct))
print(('%s %s'):format(hk2, msg2))
print(('%s %s'):format(hk2AlsoBad, msg2AlsoBad))
that example (assuming both memory records exist as named) should give the result
Code:
nil invalid memory record
userdata: 000000000AA4FE08 nil
nil invalid checkbox
userdata: 000000000AA59C08 nil
Note that the last one looks successful because the hotkey was created, however the keys are not set, calling hk2AlsoBad.getKeys() will return nil rather than a table of keys. Could do an additional check in the function and return a message string there if .getKeys() is not set
