 Posted: Sat Aug 04, 2018 9:56 pm Post subject: [Scrip Request] Loop with Wait for Gamepad Input |
 |
|
This kind of goes with the question I asked a few days ago in regards to auto changing character names in games. Anyways, I figured out how to make it constantly update using a loop. Unfortunately, the loop in infinite and slows down the game. I also have to forcefully terminate cheat engine to exit the program.
I was wondering if anyone could add some kind of a function in the below script that will allow a pause and wait for any button pressed gamepad input so that it will still loop but will wait until a button from a gamepad is pressed. If I don't use the loop, the script only updates once and when new data comes in the new character names don't change in the dialogue unless I update manually again.
| Code: | {$lua}
While true do
function replaceString(string_in,string_out,ignore_length)
if (not ignore_length) then
if (not(string_in and string_out and #string_in >= #string_out)) then
return print("Not recommended to override shorter string with a longer string");
end
end
local bytes_in = {};
local bytes_out = {};
for i=1,(#string_in >= #string_out and #string_in or #string_out) do -- lazy to copy paste same loop for string_out so just looping both and inserting if possible
if (i <= #string_in) then
table.insert(bytes_in,string.format("%x", tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_in,i,i)))));
end
if (i <= #string_out) then
-- table.insert(bytes_out,'0x' .. string.format("%x", tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_out,i,i)))));
table.insert(bytes_out,tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_out,i,i))));
end
end
local object = AOBScan(table.concat(bytes_in," "));
if object then
for entry = 0, object.Count -1 do
writeBytes(object.getString(entry), unpack(bytes_out));
end
object.destroy();
return true
end
return false
end
-- replaceString(String to find(string), string to replace with(string), ignore replace string length(true/false))
-- returns true/false as result
replaceString("Old Name ","New Name",true);
end |

It's late and the code is difficult to read, and I gave up on reading it.
Try and use code blocks, might get you better results in the future.

That looks better, thank you.
You could just use "sleep" to allow CE to update, but I would use a timer for this.
And use "getXBox360ControllerState" and it's "PacketNumer" to detect changes.
And there is no reason to but the function declaration in the loop, it will only slow it down more.
| Code: | function replaceString(string_in,string_out,ignore_length)
if (not ignore_length) then
if (not(string_in and string_out and #string_in >= #string_out)) then
return print("Not recommended to override shorter string with a longer string");
end
end
local bytes_in = {};
local bytes_out = {};
for i=1,(#string_in >= #string_out and #string_in or #string_out) do -- lazy to copy paste same loop for string_out so just looping both and inserting if possible
if (i <= #string_in) then
table.insert(bytes_in,string.format("%x", tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_in,i,i)))));
end
if (i <= #string_out) then
-- table.insert(bytes_out,'0x' .. string.format("%x", tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_out,i,i)))));
table.insert(bytes_out,tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_out,i,i))));
end
end
local object = AOBScan(table.concat(bytes_in," "));
if object then
for entry = 0, object.Count -1 do
writeBytes(object.getString(entry), unpack(bytes_out));
end
object.destroy();
return true
end
return false
end
--------
-------- Timer
--------
RunState = true
ControllerPackets = {}
local aTimer = nil
local aTimerInterval = 1000
local aTimerTicks = 0
local function aTimer_tick(timer)
if not RunState then
timer.destroy()
end
local xbcState = getXBox360ControllerState()
if ControllerPackets[xbcState.ControllerID] ~= xbcState.PacketNumber then
ControllerPackets[xbcState.ControllerID] = xbcState.PacketNumber
replaceString("Old Name ","New Name",true);
end
end
aTimer = createTimer(MainForm)
aTimer.Interval = aTimerInterval
aTimer.OnTimer = aTimer_tick |
https://wiki.cheatengine.org/index.php?title=Lua:getXBox360ControllerState
EDIT:
Then just set "RunState" to false somewhere to stop the timer.

| Thank you very much for the help. I apologize for not initially putting the script in the code box.
