I have a question about Custom Scan...

Some time ago I wanted to change a lot of values which were easy to find (2 scans).
So I wanted to create a Custom Scan that automatically changes the value if resultcount=1 at the epilogue.

But... where can I find the resultcount?
Can I even access this from the epilogue part?

I think Custom Scan is(/could be) one of the Most Useful options in many cases, but I can't seem to find much advanced info on this subject (or it could use some additional options ).


Who knows more about this subject?

The epilogue is to clean up stuff (e.g setting registered values)

If you want to change how the addresses are displayed on the screen use the scandisplayroutine for that

scandisplayroutine is called for every line in the addresslist that's being displayed

Also, if you're interested in resultcount you'll just have to keep a variable for that yourself and increase it each time you return true in checkroutine

As for using custom scan to 'change' addresses, that's not going to happen(it's for scanning only and the memory you're accessing is local cheat engine memory only, at most you'd be able to call WriteProcessMemory from assembler code, but the problem here is that you don't get the address it belongs to)

you should use the auto assembler with createthread for that and in the thread scan the memory of the target process and edit it there

Ok thnx, that was a quick and helpful reply! I had a wrong view of the custom scan usage... Still find it very useful by the way.

Resultcount is not interesting anymore, but I also cannot add it to the cheat table as a registered symbol - I guess this is because the table contains target process memory, while the counter I create in custom scan is located in CE memory...?

ah yes right, the process the autoassemble for custom scan works on is ce's memory, and registering stuff only stays with ce's autoassembler mode
I guess you can still use it for a next scan
