 |

I have a game, where I can edit some lua files.
I have for example the value 123456 that I wrote in the lua file,
how can i find this value in the memory of the running game?

You should locate the address the value is held at with Cheat Engine. From there you can use Lua to read the address according to its data type:
| Code: |
readShortInteger(address) / readByte(address) : Reads an 8-bit integer from the specified address
readSmallInteger(address) : Reads a 16-bit integer from the specified address
readInteger(address) : Reads a 32-bit integer from the specified address
readQword(address): Reads a 64-bit integer from the specified address
readPointer(address): In a 64-bit target this equals readQword, in a 32-bit target readInteger()
readFloat(address) : Reads a single precision floating point value from the specified address
readDouble(address) : Reads a double-precision floating point value from the specified address
readString(address, maxlength, widechar OPTIONAL) : Reads a string till it encounters a 0-terminator. Maxlength is just so you won't freeze for too long, set to 6000 if you don't care too much. Set WideChar to true if it is encoded using a widechar format
writeShortInteger(address,value) / writeByte(address,value) : Writes a 16-bit integer to the specified address. Returns true on success
writeSmallInteger(address,value) : Writes a 16-bit integer to the specified address. Returns true on success
writeInteger(address,value) : Writes a 32-bit integer to the specified address. Returns true on success
writeQword(address, value): Write a 64-bit integer to the specified address. Returns true on success
writePointer(address,value)
writeFloat(address,value) : Writes a single precision floating point to the specified address. Returns true on success
writeDouble(address,value) : Writes a double precision floating point to the specified address. Returns true on success

It really depends on the data type to which function you use for reading the value. You can create a variable like:
| Code: |
local myvalue = readInteger(address)
|
Where address is the address that holds the value. Bare in mind that it's likely the address will change when you restart the game.
