 Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:17 am Post subject: Using description as an address |
 |
|
I just wanted to try this new feature where we can use the description of the address in the cheat table as an address elsewhere.
Can I use description of address B (as addrB) in a hotkey of another address (A) and then do "set value to" to "[addrB]" (which represents the value of B)
.
Also can I "set the value to" to "2*[addrB]" which represents twice the value of B?
If no, then please inform me the correct syntax to do all this?

I think you want the old function of "set value to value of other entry" (the new function is setaddress by description which is useful for pointer entries)
Let's say you have 2 addresses in the list:
health and maxhealth
You can then set the value of health to
to set the health to the same value as maxhealth.
If you combine it with freeze and then set the value, it will constantly set the value, even when maxhealth changes it will freeze it properly
The ( ) notation for setvalue currently doesn't support math, but there is a luamode for set value as well, [] , which can do what you want, although a bit chunky
to set the value to 2xaddrB you'd do
| Code: |
[AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('addrB').Value*2]
|

So this (maxhealth) thing will work in "set value to" on ce 7.1?
Plz in next update , extend the support of math on that too..

The luamode gives parsing error when one or both of the entries are set to show in hexadecimal.

you need to add an 0x in front for math to work on hexadecimal in lua mode
so
| Code: |
[('0x'..AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription('addrB').Value)*2]
|
Also, why have it in hexadecimal ?
out of curiosity. If a float type is set as "show as hexadecimal" Do you want math applied on the hexadecimal value or the actual value?

I was just testing the luamode out since I didn't know of this before and just so happens I had my entries set to show in hexadecimal. I'm guessing if I want it done on actual float value I would have to use string.pack+string.unpack or readFloat(mr.Address)?

readFloat or readDouble yes
and use mr.CurrentAddress , it's faster and free of parser issues
