|
|
I'm playing a game with no pause feature and it's a really fast pace game. I know cheat engine has a speed hack feature, is there a way to hotkey that speed hack so I can press a key and pause the game while it is running?
Often the game is so fast pace I don't have the chance to minimize it and move my mouse to cheat engine to pause the game.

yes, you can set hotkeys in settings-hotkey

So far the hotkeys have been working but only if I don't set the speed hack to 0 or pause. This seems to leave the program unresponsive.
Is there any solution to this?

That worked perfectly; well technically not perfectly, it's not a perfect pause, but it's close enough. I also was able to set a key to return the speed to 1.0 as well as set keys to slow and speed up the game as needed. The game is a fast paced, side scrolling, flying shooter and cheat engine has been a game saver.
This issue is solved, thank you.

Is there a way to disable hotkeys without deleting them? I have the hotkeys I want and they are great for a specific game but other games use those keys for game functions (for example I have the letter P for pause but now I'm pausing games that use that key).
I don't want to have to reassign keys every time I play the game that needs them so I was hoping there is a simple way to just disable hotkeys when I'm playing a different game.

in lua:
getHotkeyHandlerThread().State=1
that will make it so only memrec hotkeys get activated but not the global ones

The solution sounds more work than just clearing hotkeys and adding them when I need them. I was hoping there was a checkbox somewhere that when checked or unchecked allowed hotkeys. If not that would be nice to have on the next cheat engine update.

If these settings are stored in registry, then you may be able to create a backup and do a delete/restore each time.
Alternatively, if these settings can be stored in a settings file, then you could simply use two different settings files, swapping them out when needed.
And lastly, if these settings are (or can be) specific to each install, then you may be able use two different versions of CE, one for each game.
DB may need to confirm or clarify what is possible.

That is an idea, which files do hotkeys store to? I can keep a folder separate with the file and just swap them out when I need to.

CTRL+ALT+L , paste in

click execute done.
you can also include it in your table's lua script

That worked, and it was easy.
I was a little confused by the instructions but I assumed you meant to first open Cheat Engine, then follow your instructions.
I also assumed to return to hotkeys being enabled I had to change
getHotkeyHandlerThread().State=1 to
getHotkeyHandlerThread().State=0
That was definitely easier than finding a lua file and going through lines of code to edit the code. That is what I thought you meant before.
Still a checkbox would be nice if you have the time to make one for any future Cheat Engine updates.

Is there a way to set hotkeys to off by default instead of on and turn them on as needed? Most of the time I don't need to control the speed of the game so it would save more time if I turned hotkeys on instead of off by copying and pasting "getHotkeyHandlerThread().State=1"
