 Posted: Sat May 09, 2015 2:54 pm Post subject: Need help formatting static address for readFloat function. |
 |
|
I'm looking to export the GTA 5 speed value to a .txt file at a certain interval, and then feed that text value into the Processing IDE and then to an Arduino for a speedometer project.
The vehicle speed is present in a static address (GTA5.exe+217A924) as a float value, but I'm not sure how to format that address for the readFloat function.
When I do:
| Code: | | function readFloat(GTA5.exe+217A924) |
it gives the error message
| Code: | | [string "function readFloat(GTA5.exe+217A924)..."]:1: ')' expected near '.' |
If someone could point me in the right direction on formatting the address properly and confirm that I'm on the right track for this project, I'd appreciate it.

Don't need 'function'. Do need quotes.
| Code: | | readFloat("GTA5.exe+217A924") |

| Welp, that did it. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to set up an interval timer for the value to update to the file.

| Code: | t=createTimer(nil)
t.Interval=1000
t.OnTimer=function(t)
local speed = readFloat("GTA5.exe+217A924")
-- write to file
end
t.Enabled=true |

Man, it's so close to working. The only problem now is that it appends the new value after each interval, and I need it to display only the new value and not show the previous intervals. I've tried:
| Code: | f = io.open("speed.txt", "w")
t=createTimer(nil)
t.Interval=1000
t.OnTimer=function(t)
local speed = readFloat("GTA5.exe+217A924")
f:write(speed)
f:flush()
f:close()
end
t.Enabled=true |
and it says:
| Code: | | Error:[string "speed = readFloat("GTA5.exe+217A924")..."]:12: attempt to use a closed file |
I guess I'm going about writing to the file the wrong way. It seems like f:close makes that file unusable for the rest of the timer's cycle? I am searching around for a different way to clear the file and write the value to a blank text file. This is my first time dabbling in LUA so you're really helping me out.

f = io.open("speed.txt", "w") or error();
local speed = readFloat("GTA5.exe+217A924")
f:write(speed)
f:flush()
f:close()
end
t.Enabled=true |
