Cheat Engine

I am not new to making cheats but kinda new to Cheat Engine(I have been using ArtMoney for a long time and this function is missing)

1.For example I search for something and find it.
2.Browse the memory region of that address and I see Base and Size
3.Is it possible to get the Base and use it as "Start" and use Base+Size as "Stop"

Pointers are little advanced thing to me and they and not very useful in emulators

In ArtMoney,there was a menu called "Scan this memory region" which did something like that

I know that the rest of the codes I am looking for will be in that region and when I restart the emulator,the region changes

And also,is it possible to make CE search only certain memory region based on the process I am scanning(pcsx2\rpcs3 have a fixed memory region that is always the same every time)

I'm not sure the tutorial really covers it tbh

The hex editor portion of the memory viewer does give the base/size of a region, so find a value, right click and "browse this memory region"

then just put base and base+size here in the start/stop fields of CE's scan.
I don't think there's an easy way to tell CE to automatically set the scan range based on a found address however.

If it's a named module rather than just allocated memory there's also a drop down list to select it, at least I think that's standard now but if not it's an extension.

As for automatically when you attach for the static ones you can probably make an extension like this (place into CE/autorun as a lua file).

That script makes it work like the feature that exist in ArtMoney(so much easier)

Not sure I understand this in the link but thanks anyway

A way you may be able to do it based on the docs would be to use:
- getMemoryViewForm() to get the current memory view form object.
- HexadecimalView property of the returned memory view form to get the bottom hex part.
- OnAddressChange event to monitor for address changes.

Then each time the address changes there, you can look for the address either within a module range via:
- enumModules
- getModuleSize

(I'm not sure if newer versions of CE offer a way to walk the memory regions from Lua yet though easily. So I can't say any func name for that atm as my CE is outdated currently.)

Once you get that all setup though you can have the main form scan region auto-update/populate based on whats currently shown in the memory view's hex editor at the bottom.
