Hi. I am mapping item IDs in a game. I have a memory address in the memory viewer and I set the value to like 600 then I alt-tab over to the game and check what item is in my hand. I log it, then I go back to Cheat Engine and change value to 601 then repeat. It's tedious. I tried to use both Macro Express and AutoHotKey to activate the CE window, hit enter then then the next ID but as soon as CE gets focus, the macro dies.
Soooo, my next option is a Lua script I imagine. Can someone fluent in Lua make something that either increments the value by 1 every X seconds or increments by 1 when a certain keystroke is hit? Ideally the former as the less interaction the better as far as efficiency. I'd just need to be able to configure the delay, the starting value and the memory address to work on.
If someone could do that, and has PayPal, let give me a quote.

something like this should work
| Code: | {$lua}
[ENABLE]
-- start of configuration
local interval = 1000 -- milliseconds
local address = '[[game.exe+baseoffset]+offset1]+offset2' -- supports pointer notation
local valueType = vtDword -- vtByte,vtWord,vtDword, vtQword,vtSingle,vtDouble
local signed = false -- vtQword,vtSingle,vtDouble always signed, qword errors on negative if false
local incrementBy = 1
local maxValue = math.huge -- infinity
local minValue = -math.huge
local interaction_type = 'timer' -- 'timer' or 'hotkey'
local hotkeys = {VK_1} -- table of keys for hotkey if interaction_type is 'hotkey'
-- end of configuration
function incrementValue()
if valueType == vtByte then
local value = readBytes(address,1)
if signed and value > 0x7F then value = value - 0xFF - 1 end
value = value+incrementBy
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeBytes(address,value) end
elseif valueType == vtWord then
-- pre 6.7 did not have read/write SmallInteger
readSmallInteger = readSmallInteger or function (address,signed)
local bytes = readBytes(address,2,true)
local value = byteTableToWord(bytes)
if signed and value > 0x7FFF then value = value - 0xFFFF -1 end
return value
end
writeSmallInteger = writeSmallInteger or function (address,value) writeBytes(address, wordToByteTable(value)) end
local value = readSmallInteger(address, signed)
value = value+incrementBy
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeSmallInteger(address,value) end
elseif valueType == vtDword then
local value = readInteger(address, signed)
value = value+incrementBy
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeInteger(address,value) end
elseif valueType == vtQword then
local value = readQword(address) -- always reads as signed...
if value < 0 and not signed then error("large unsigned qwords are not supported") end
value = value+incrementBy -- can overflow to negative
if value < 0 and not signed then error("large unsigned qwords are not supported") end
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeQword(address,value) end
elseif valueType == vtSingle then -- always signed by definition/implementation
local value = readFloat(address)
value = value+incrementBy
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeFloat(address,value) end
elseif valueType == vtDouble then -- always signed by definition/implementation
local value = readDouble(address)
value = value+incrementBy
if value < maxValue and value > minValue then writeDouble(address,value) end
else error("Invalid type: " .. tostring(valueType))
end
end
if type(interaction_type) ~= 'string' then error('interaction_type must be a string!') end
if syntaxcheck then return end
if interaction_type:lower() == 'timer' then
incrementingObject = createTimer()
incrementingObject.interval = interval
incrementingObject.OnTimer = incrementValue
elseif interaction_type:lower() == 'hotkey' then
incrementingObject = createHotkey(incrementValue, hotkeys)
else error('unknown interaction_type ' .. interaction_type)
end
[DISABLE]
if syntaxcheck then return end
incrementingObject.destroy()

Wow, thanks.
This is what I'm working with:
EDIT: Ack, it won't let me post URLs. I used the attachment feature instead.
The highlighted memory location is what I am incrementing. So for address do I just do local address = '88D16D74' or do I need to put the game executable name and all that stuff you have? I assume I also do local valueType = vtByte but how do I indicate 2 bytes?
Sorry, I know nothing about Lua or CE scripting, I'm pretty noob here lol.

yeah | Code: | | local address = '88D16D74' |
will work 
For 2 bytes you'd use vtWord, based on the Microsoft programming data type "WORD" used for the size of a CPU register back in the 16 bit days.

I wrote a program in c# that performed something similar for another game, if these solutions dont work, just send me a pm.
My c# script writes a memory address and takes a screenshot of a specific icon on the game to correlate IDs with items.

Thanks, the script worked great.
Could I trouble you for one more? This one should be (I imagine) relatively simple. When I change worlds, all the addresses change and I have to remap it. The game has a 7 slot hotbar. I track down the memory location for slot 1, then each subsequent slot is +4. So right now for instance I have:
Slot 1: 88B16936, Byte
Slot 2: 88B1693A, Byte
Slot 3: 88B1693E, Byte
Slot 4: 88B16942, Byte
..so on and so forth. Then the item ID for each slot is slot memory address -2 so slot 1's ID is 88B16934 and is 2 bytes.
Would it be possible to have a script wherein I tell it the first slot's memory address then it automatically adds the rest of the slots and the slot ID locations to the table of addresses? That'd save sooo much time.
Thanks!

You shouldn't actually need a script for that If you "nest" a memory record under another (drag and drop on top) then you can use +4 as the address to have it act much like a pointer and use the parent's address+4
eg.
(copy and paste in CE address list) https://pastebin.com/v4gimdkU
short example (xml is super verbose...)
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheatTable>
<CheatEntries>
<CheatEntry>
<ID>0</ID>
<Description>"Slot Base"</Description>
<VariableType>Byte</VariableType>
<Address>88B16936</Address>
<CheatEntries>
<CheatEntry>
<ID>15</ID>
<Description>"Slot 1"</Description>
<VariableType>Byte</VariableType>
<Address>+0</Address>
<CheatEntries>
<CheatEntry>
<ID>16</ID>
<Description>"id"</Description>
<VariableType>2 Bytes</VariableType>
<Address>-2</Address>
</CheatEntry>
</CheatEntries>
</CheatEntry>
</CheatEntries>
</CheatEntry>
</CheatEntries>
</CheatTable>
|
So then you just need to set the address of the "Slot Base" to the address of the first slot. Unfortunately I don't know any way to set that up without the base showing the type and value so you end up duplicating Slot 1 a little using that method.

Ahh cool. I need to learn more about how to work this rather than grope along blindly, wasn't aware I could do that.
I pasted your XML in, then double clicked the slot base and set it to the memory address that was valid at the time - 88D201E2. All the child entry values though stayed as question marks. Is there something I have to do to tell it to "refresh" or activate or whatever?

| hm, shouldn't be. Setting the parent should cause the address for all the children to update and as long as the resulting address is valid the value should show.

| I realized when I saw your screenshot you were on a version .6 higher than I. I upgraded and bam, now it works Thanks.
