Cheat Engine

So I've been working on a table and I've got quite a few pointers now but some of the values I've found are different than the values in game.

For example, say I've found a value for health and it shows up as 100 in game but the value in Cheat Engine is 120.
So my question is how can I display the value of Health in my table as [value-20] and change the input from my table to [value+20]?

What would be the best way to go about doing this? Is there an option in Cheat Engine itself or is it a problem for LUA? Are there any tutorials that already go over this and if so could I get a link?

Thanks in advance.

It would be easier to just change the display values to match the actual values.

Maybe a better example would be something like the Pokemon Uranium table. All the values in the game are the [Real Value * 2 + 1]. Is it possible to write something in background that converts the number to its real value and then displays it on the table. Then, when the user enters a number, change the entered value to back to the number needed by the game?

Look up custom value types. If you'd like an example, DB made the 4 byte * 8 flash type here.

Perfect! Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. It worked like a charm. Very Happy

One more question though. Is there anyway to include it in a table so that, when shared, other users can use the custom type without having to add it themselves?

Open up the Lua script window and put this in:

Awesome! Thank you.

However would the script try to add the new type every time the table is launched?
Also I'm sure many of those who use cheat engine regularly probably don't appreciate having too many extra types added to their search menu. Is there a way to remove them as well?

If not it's all good. I've already got the functionality I asked for. Very Happy

CE seems to give an error when registering a custom type that has the same name as an already-defined custom type. I don't believe there's any "official" way of checking which custom types exist already, but it's possible to get around that by using the GUI:

Thanks! That's exactly everything I needed. I guess I hadn't looked at the Pokemon Uranium thread in a while lol. Custom types had already been discussed. Thanks for helping for helping me anyway!

Cheers Very Happy
