Why wont this script run. The script should check if a value is greater than 3, if it is, it should just set the address which the pointer points to, to 3, and if the value is equal or less than 3, it should set the address which the pointer points to the actual value:

Code:

[Enable]
alloc(newmem,2048,02A451A8)
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)

newmem:
CMP xmm0, 0x3
jg originalcode:
mov [rcx+rbx],3


originalcode:
vmovsd [rcx+rbx],xmm0

exit:
jmp returnhere

02A451A8:
jmp newmem
returnhere:



[Disable]
dealloc(newmem)
02A451A8:
vmovsd [rcx+rbx],xmm0
//Alt: db C5 FB 11 04 19


I get an error:
Quote:
Error in line 9 (CMP xmm0, 0x3):This instruction can't be compiled

Basically I want to check if xmm0 is greater than the decimal number 3 (hexadecimal 3).

Thanks in advance.

You're trying to compare a float register with a hexadecimal value. It would be better to see the instructions of the disassembly window to give better advice on how to resolve your script; although, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to do some reading on ASM x86/x64. It is crucial to understand at least the basics before embarking on your journey hacking games.

There is no instruction that compares an xmm register with an immediate value.

Integers and doubles are two different data types. You can't just do this:
Code:
mov [rcx+rbx],3
(I guess you could, but the double value would be really small and not 3.0)

This will work:
Code:
alloc(mynumber,8)

mynumber:
  dq (double)3.0

newmem:
  vmaxsd xmm0,xmm0,[mynumber]
  vmovsd [rcx+rbx],xmm0

You might want to use an aobscan instead since the address of the injection point looks like it will change when the game is restarted.

Where would all this code go? Where would cmp be?

You don't need the cmp. vmaxsd writes the max of the two source operands to the destination operand.

alloc goes with the other alloc (don't forget the dealloc in the disable section), initialization of the alloc's memory can go almost anywhere in the enable section (above newmem is fine), and newmem is just newmem. I did forget the jmp at the end of newmem but that should be obvious.

The max value which is ever set is 2.58 for some reason, but that doesn't matter, since I don't want the largest value of the two, I want the smallest. If it's larger than 3, I want to set it to 3. I tried vminsd and minsd instead, both gives an error when trying to compile.

In that case, the correct thing to do is to change vmaxsd to vminsd.

Looks like CE can't assemble vminsd for whatever reason. I guess the easiest workaround is to forego AVX:
Code:
newmem:
  minsd xmm0,[mynumber]
  movsd [rcx+rbx],xmm0
  jmp return
