Please proofread my script

Want Cheat Engine to do something specific and no idea how to do that, ask here. (From simple scripts to full trainers and extensions)

Please proofread my script

Post by Las0mbra »

The script appears to work as it should but I have just a bit of experience with lua and almost no experience using it in CE.

So if anyone has the time to look it over I'd appreciate it.

The "bpointer" was found using a AA script beforehand.

Code: Select all

[ENABLE]
{$lua}
  errorOnLookupFailure(false)

  isAlly = "[bpointer]+30"
  maxTroops = "[bpointer]+38"
  curTroops = "[bpointer]+3C"


  function GodMode()

    unitAlly = readBytes(isAlly, 1)
    unitMaxTroops = readInteger(maxTroops)
    unitCurTroops = readInteger(curTroops)

    if (unitAlly and unitMaxTroops and unitCurTroops) then
      if (unitAlly == 1)
        then writeInteger(curTroops, unitMaxTroops)
      end
    end
  end


  RepeatTimer = createTimer(nil,true)
  RepeatTimer.Interval = 250
  RepeatTimer.onTimer = GodMode

{$asm}

[DISABLE]
{$lua}

  RepeatTimer.enabled = false

{$asm}

Seems good, though you could probably do it with autoassembler instead of lua in a much easier way by finding some code that's accessing the current troops and injecting there.

Thanks for looking it over. I'm glad there is nothing major wrong with it.

Yeah probably. At the time lua seemed easier to figure out.

One thing that came to mind just now: You should delete the timer object in your disable section with RepeatTimer.destroy().

Replaced the RepeatTimer.enabled = false with RepeatTimer.destroy(). Thanks.
