Cheat Engine

[bknight2602]

I'm trying to do this:

if control_getVisible(CheatPanel_CDEedit3) = true then
do some steps
else
don't do steps
end

I keep getting an error message attempt to call global 'control_getVisible' (a nil value)

CheatPanel and CEEdit3 both exist so that isn't the problem.

To get the value of the string in the edit is control_getCaption(CheatPanel_CEEdit3), then why wouldn't checking the visible state be in a similar manner?

Is cheatpanel a form or just a panel? If only a panel then you must use the formname it is on instead
E.g. formname_CDEedit3

And which cheat engine version do you use?

[bknight2602]

Dark Byte: CheatPanel is the main form with CEEdit3 one of the many items on the form. I'm using ver 6.2.

DaSpamer: With your suggestion I get the following error

attempt to index global 'CheatPanel_CEEdit2' (a userdata value)
Script Error

I used CEEdit2 as I'm on a different machine and the CEEdit3 doesn't exist on this one.

What I wrote is for C.E 6.3

Two errors:
CEEdit3 was misspelled and the additional "="
thanks

Another question arises pertaining to controls:

Is the proper coding of a caption on a button control like the following?

control_setCaption(CheatPanel_CEButton2, "Next Scan")

[Dark Byte]

That's about as good as it gets in 6.2 yes

For best coding I really recommend 6.3, since there you can do:

I'm just in the learning curve on the language and you implemented a different set of codes. Is there a link to the new set of codes somewhere? I have been using http://cheat-engine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Cheat%20Engine/bin/main.lua since I started with coding the tables.

On another question:
I have been using with your much appreciated help memscans to recalculate my tables such as

[Dark Byte]

That link you've posted is already the new set of code. (you probably mean http://cheat-engine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Cheat%20Engine/bin/main.lua?p=1487 instead)

The foundlist isn't necessary during a scan, only if you wish to read the results.
For the next scan I do recommend a different expvalue else it won't reduce the number of occurences

[bknight2602]

In fact there are three memscans (expvalue, goldvalue, and stepvalue)and they all would be updated for the next scans.
I'll try to tackle the next scans this evening, thanks again.

Oh boy not much is working:

Are you sure you are scanning with fastscan disabled ?

Because if it's on, and set as a word (align 2) only 071819FD would be left for experience scans

[bknight2602]

The normal scan with CE do have the fast scan unchecked. The correct addresses are found with the normal scan in a first and second scan, those are the ones I listed. In fact as the blue high lite indicated the second scan narrowed the gold and step to just one hit and they were both the correct addresses. The experience was narrowed to 4 hits and that was correct and with the correct addresses, i.e. four heroes had identical experiences.

I'm not sure if the programed firstScan and nextScan disable fastscan, but the correct addresses were in the foundlist of the firstScan. On one test last night only the step address was contained in the nextScan. So it appears to me that the problem exists from the first to the next scan as written with the code.

I hope I answered your question.

EDIT: The print out was copied from the debug window, with my added comments.

[bknight2602]

I did a bit more testing, creating a new button and just doing a scan for steps and then a next scan for steps, since those appeared in my testing to be narrowed to one hit on a subsequent scan. Also I change the name of the second foundlist to a different name(if that was the problem). I did leave the name of the second scan unchanged(and that might be a problem)
