I think it would be very useful to have an option for the Group config menu (applying to a group of cheats) that makes it function like a set of radio buttons instead of check boxes. Meaning, you can only have 1 of the items in the group active at a time, or none at all by deactivating the active cheat. If you activate another cheat/script in the same group, it will deactivate the currently active one automatically.

This could be very useful in situations where you have conflicting scripts or cheats, like ones that deal with the same address or code in different ways. Any time you don't want to have certain cheats enabled at the same time because it might cause unintended side effects or break things, really.

Say you have made several scripts that affect the passage of time in a game differently. One stops it, one fast-forwards, and one reverses it, for example. Since these most likely affect the same bit of game code, you naturally don't want to have two of those scripts active at the same time. Putting them in a group that prevents this from happening by accident would be very useful, and saves a click because you don't have to manually disable one before enabling the other.

I can imagine a radiogroup (where a newly enabled script disables all other scripts in the group) and it might even be achievable as a custom LUA extension.
The problem I foresee is disabling the other scripts does not always achieve the original state - quite a lot of cheat makers forget cleaning up after their scripts in the disable section. Especially true for timers.
Anyway, it's not my place to decide - I never needed anything like this - just my two cents.

Hi
here a script https://pastebin.com/0vQi91Dj may have the radio button effect (nvm I named it checkboxeffect :p )
this is an update/extract from original extension
https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=587056

effect: If the parent memory record has desc begin with "[some text except '['']']=>" then its children of same type form a radio group like collection, tho they can be all deactivated.
Tested work with activation by hotkey.
Internally, siblings which is active (enabled) will requested to deactivate and completed deactivating (if success) before the clicked mr start activating.
