Code:

[]Armor <Script>
     []Armor H Val: X
          [] Thing One Val: X
          [] Thing Two Val: X

So I have a script with a header in it and I want to use lua to change "ArmorH" to 1 on activation and 0 on deactivation. I currently have now clue how to target "ArmorH" through the script however since it has no address

Update:
I have tried a script but was unsuccessful
Code:
{$lua}
if sytaxcheck then return end

[ENABLE]
local list = getAddressList()
mem = list.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Armor')
mem.Value = 1

[DISABLE]
mem.Value = 0


Closer update:
Code:
{$lua}
if sytaxcheck then return end

[ENABLE]
local list = getAddressList()
mem = list.getMemoryRecordByDescription('Thing One')
mem.Value = 1

[DISABLE]
mem.Value = 0

Works fine, but when I add memT which is Thing Two to the mix, Thing Two will not turn into a 1. The only difference between them is their pointer but I can manually set the value

the variable memrec refers to the current memory record/script and memory records have a Child array property of their child records so from the Armor Script memrec.Child[0].Child[1] would refer to Thing Two. Do remember though that {$lua} is more of a meta-programming feature in AA scripts so it runs before the AA code has ie, before the script has fully enabled or disabled, you can use a timer with an arbitrary delay to wait until the script has been enabled (optionally with an actual check of the memory record if you expect an aobscan to take a long time).

But yeah, explicitly getting the memory record from the Address List using any of the three methods can also work Smile
