Code:
[ENABLE]
{$lua}
if syntaxcheck then return end
function aob_register(sym, pat)
  instr = AOBScan(pat, "+r+w")
  addy = instr[0]
  instr.destroy()
  addy = tonumber(addy, 16)
  unregisterSymbol(sym)
  registerSymbol(sym, addy)
end
pause()
aob_register("name?","00 10 02 33")
unpause()

{$asm}

[DISABLE]

unregistersymbol(name?)


When I run this it pauses, but doesn't unpause after the scan turns up with nothing. It will unpause if it does find a value though.

What do I need to do?

Check if it returns nothing. AOBScan returns nil on no results found
Other tweaks:
  • Use local variables
  • Use AOBScanUnique if you assume the pattern is unique (this returns an integer, not a stringlist)
  • "+r" isn't a protection specifier
Code:
...
function aob_register(sym, pat)
  local addy = AOBScanUnique(pat, "+w")
  if not addy then return end
  unregisterSymbol(sym)
  registerSymbol(sym, addy)
end
...

Specify better alignment, or scan for something non-writable (e.g. injection copy).
