Can't do this in aa so was hoping it was something lua can handle. Just trying to get the location of the pointer. Don't know lua so what I am trying doesn't work. "game.exe+800" just gets scanned for as a string and I need to scan the pointer as though it's broken into bite size chunks. Say for example:
game.exe= 6644221100
then it would need to search for
00 19 22 44 66,
though of course game.exe could be in a different location and the aob would have to be different.

Code:
[ENABLE]

{$lua}
if syntaxcheck then return end

scnr = AOBScan("game.exe+800")
registerSymbol("loc1",scnr[0])
print(scnr[0])
scnr.destroy()
{$asm}


[DISABLE]

unregisterSymbol(loc1)

Code:
[ENABLE]
{$lua}
if syntaxcheck then return 'define(foo,0)' end

local bytes = qwordToByteTable(getAddress'game.exe+800')

for i,v in pairs(bytes) do
  bytes[i] = ('%02X'):format(v)
end

local results = assert(AOBScan(table.concat(bytes, ' ')), 'No AOB results found')
if results.Count > 1 then
  results.destroy()
  error'Multiple AOB results found'
end

local address = getAddress(results[0])
results.destroy()

return ('define(foo,%08X)'):format(address)
{$asm}

// you could also do this in Lua, but this should work
registersymbol(foo)

foo:
  // whatever
