 |
|
Hi! I'm facing an issue i can't solve. I want to launch using LUA my CEMU.exe with some arguments.
I have in the LUA script:
| Quote: | | shellExecute('C:\Emus\Cemu latest\Cemu.exe') |
But I need to launch it with these args (that I use in my windows shortcut):
| Quote: | | "C:\Emus\Cemu latest\Cemu.exe" -g "C:\Emus\Cemu latest\GAMES\Zelda BotW\code\U-King.rpx" -f |
Anyone knows how to add this in my LUA script ?

Cheat Engine 6.7 (not sure when it was added specifically) allows you to pass parameters to shellExecute along with the folder to execute within. It takes upto 3 parameters, only the command being the required one.
| Code: | | shellExecute(command, parameters, folderpath) |
So something like this should work:
| Code: | | shellExecute('C:\Emus\Cemu latest\Cemu.exe', '-g "C:\Emus\Cemu latest\GAMES\Zelda BotW\code\U-King.rpx"'); |

Oops that was my fault, forgot to switch them to double-slashes. If you use a single slash it is considered an 'escape' and tries to use the next character after the slash as a certain escape code.
For example:
\n = new line
\r = line return
\t = tab
and so on.
