Code:

{$lua}
[ENABLE]
-- lua code
-- Target pointer
local newPointer = "EEMEM"

-- Function to update only group header (parent) pointers
function updateGroupHeaderPointer(groupDescription)
    local addressList = getAddressList()
    local memrec = nil

    -- Search for the memory record with the given description
    for i = 0, addressList.Count - 1 do
        if addressList[i].Description == groupDescription then
            memrec = addressList[i]
            break
        end
    end

    -- Check if the group was found
    if not memrec then
        -- Removed pop-up message
        -- showMessage("Group not found: " .. groupDescription)
        return
    end

    -- Ensure the record is a group header (parent pointer)
    if memrec.isGroupHeader then
        -- Update the pointer's base address
        memrec.Address = newPointer
        memrec.IsPointer = true
        -- Removed pop-up message
        -- showMessage("Group header pointer updated for: " .. groupDescription .. " to " .. newPointer)
    else
        -- If it's not a group header, log the type (you may want to keep this)
        -- showMessage("The selected record is not a group header: " .. groupDescription ..
        --             " (Type: " .. memrec.Type .. ")")
    end
end

-- Execute the function for each group
local groups = {
    "B License",
    "A License",
    "IB License",
    "IA License",
    "Super License",
    "Coffee Break",
    "Driving Mission"
}

for _, group in ipairs(groups) do
    updateGroupHeaderPointer(group)
end

Put `if syntaxcheck then return end` at the top of every {$lua} block in an AA script unless you have good reason to do otherwise.

Use AddressList.getMemoryRecordByDescription.

Memory records have both IsGroupHeader and IsAddressGroupHeader properties. IsAddressGroupHeader implies IsGroupHeader, but the converse is not true in general. You should check IsAddressGroupHeader instead, or set it to true yourself.

`IsPointer` isn't a valid property.
Example:
Code:
local mr = AddressList.createMemoryRecord()
mr.Description = 'Example Pointer Header'
mr.IsAddressGroupHeader = true
mr.setAddress('game.exe+1234', { 0x5C, 0x38 })
