EC_Start is user defined symbol ([[[[TLR.exe+0x01DB04E0] + 0x3C] + 0x3C] + 0xEC * 0x34 + 0x2C])


{$lua}
U_NR = (I manually set from 1 to 5)
U_IDX = (I manually set from 1 to 5)


Using this expression as address (add address manually)
EC_start + 0x2BC * (U_NR -1) + 2 *( U_IDX -1) + 0xE

Works UNLESS U_NR == 1 or U_IDX == 1...then ?? cannot calculate address

Tried it with

{$lua}
U_NR = (manually from 0 to 4)
U_IDX = (manually from 0 to 4)

And expression
EC_start + 0x2BC * U_NR + 2 * U_IDX + 0xE
in manual address field. Same error (??) when U_NR or U_IDX ==0 ..

BUT "EC_start + 0x2BC * 0 + 2 * 0 + 0xE " WORKS ?!?!

[peddroelm]

simpler example

EC_start+2BC*U_NR in the address field works as long as U_NR is not ZERO

EC_start+2BC*0 also works

What is this madness and how do I get around it ?

[peddroelm]

so this works even when U_NR==1
EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2bc+(U_IDX-1)*2+0xE

If you're gonna multiply a variable that can be zero and a constant in the address field , put the variable first ... Whatever works ...

EDIT: spoke too soon

EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2BC+(U_IDX-1)*2+0xE // WORKS
//next address bellow
EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2BC // DOESN't work ?!?!
//next address bellow resolves
EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2BC + 0x1 // ?!?!?!?


///////////////

so
EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2BC // DOESN't work ?!?!

but

EC_start+(U_NR-1)*0x2BC +1 -1 // WORKS

EDIT:

and this allows for ONE of them (either U_NR or U_IDX) to be 1 BUT NOT BOTH in the same time (
