Cheat Engine

[Unicorngoulash]

Hello, I'm new to the forum although I've been using and enjoying cheat engine for many years

I'm loving the added controller support for hotkeys, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Like gameshark/action replay used to have for joker commands. Being excited about it upon discovery gave me some ideas about improving the hotkey functions for the future.

I think it would be a cool idea to implement a function that temporarily sets and freezes a value upon keypress and restores it to it's original value upon release. It would make things like multi-jumping easier, or for example only having a superpower,infinite health/ammo as long as you hold a key. Or in reverse, disable a code as long as it's pressed and enabled upon release.

In simple terms, a temporary freeze that only works as long as you hold a key and unfreezes as soon as you let go. Perhaps that time based values could be useful as well, only having a code active for a set amount of time.

1 [Enable code] Hold and release
2 [Disable code] Hold and release
3 [Timer based] Hold and release

You could setup a thread and "getXBox360ControllerState" to do what you want.
i.e.: To freeze a value

I tried to copy the code into Lua but it gets an error.
I don't know how I should correct it because I don't know enough about lua to understand this code. However, it would be cool if it could be implemented into cheat engine as en expansion.
