Hi there, is there a way to update the addresses after calling dealloc + unregisterSymbol?

I have pointers, let's say: "123Data +8" or whatever and it populates with a value when i register the symbol and all that, but after i dealloc and unregister, it keeps the value, i would like it to reflect the invalid value.

If i click the entry and open it, the label [123Data] shows red, and when i close it/ok, it shows the correct invalid value "??????"
How can i make it so it changes to ????? after i unregister symbol and dealloc?

Thanks in advance?

Maybe call `reinterpret()` of the memrec class. (total guess, haven't tested this)

Every time I do that I don't show bad symbols at all. Append every memory record using that symbol to the script that defines the symbol as a child, right click on the parent script, and set the dropdown option for "hide children when disabled" or something.

globalalloc is also sometimes an option, but be weary of RIP-relative addressing problems

Hi, thanks for reply, i tried reinterpret(), did not find anything about it in wiki, sadly, it did not produce the wanted effect. (used after the unregister and dealloc in Lua)
As far as "hide children when disabled" won't apply for this situation.
I need to have the values show up in the second monitor and want to leave it open at all times.

I vaguely remember encountering this problem a while ago. Looking through CE's source code, I couldn't find anything accessible to Lua and gave up. If no one has answered at this point, you're probably not going to get an answer.

use pointers using the pointer checkbox, not using [[xxx+xxx]+xxx]+xxx notations

if the records are under the script they should update to invalid as soon as it gets disabled

in lua you can use memrec.reinterpret() on each entry you wish to reinterpret. Not on the record you just disabled

Thank you for your inputs.
A few things i need to explain i think, maybe i should've done it from the start, but didn't think what i want to achieve would be so hard.

I have a lua script that checks continuously for pointer's values.

Example:

You are correct, i pasted the wrong example, i did use getAddressSafe., coupled with something like
"if readInteger(DriveOffset) == 0 then"
So essentially checking the value itself.

But... i do have some errors just like the one you pointed out, thank you for pointing that out, will correct.

I didn't know i cannot dealloc a globalalloc, can you please elaborate some more on this? "If it's not, you need to pass the disableinfo to autoAssemble for CE to know where CInfo is."

This is going above my head. I am confused but i think you mean the optional flag that corresponds to the [Disable] section of a script, which this one does not have, it runs continuously, or maybe i am reading this completely off.

Thanks for the reply.

I read the thread and i am failing to see how this disableinfo flag helps to update the values in the table, but i will look into it, maybe i am missing something. I don't even have a [Disable] section in these scripts, they should run at all times, and even if i disable the script, the latest values are still there.
