How to edit value by address via lua script

[Shuaiouke]

I have seen 

How do you edit a specific memory addresses value via a lua script (#670falkv)

 before, but that's editing one specific address, I want it to edit from something like EC16100 or whatever to something like EC161FF

basically editing a bunch of addresses

PS.to the same value

1. Start fuzzy search limited specified range. Edit all found result to desired value.

2. Or. Build table with need values in loop and use setValues.

emm, is there other ways to do it? if not, how to use loop to edit value by address

[Enyby]

Other ways similar. But first is most easy.

Read API help and make 3 calls for it. clearResults, startFuzzy, editAll.

Emm you misunderstanded me I know the address I’m editing it just there’s 500 vars to change I’m not doing a fuzzy search not even a search just edit addresses

local t = {}

t[1] = {}

t[1].address = 0x18004030

t[1].flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD

t[2] = {}

t[2].address = 0x18004034

t[2].flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD

t[3] = {}

t[3].address = 0x18004038

t[3].flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD

gg.loadResults(t)
yourTable = gg.getResults(3)

 for i,v in ipairs(yourTable) do
     yourTable.value = 10000
     yourTable.flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD
 end
 gg.setValues(yourTable)

@Shuaiouke No. I understand you right. You need search your 500 address and change it.

But you can use long way with loop if you want.

[Shuaiouke]

So first, that's not efficient, since there are over 500 addresses to edit, and second, anyone knows how to use a loop to edit addresses progressively.

[Enyby]

You choose not only worst possible way, you try it make more worst. Progressive edit is much worst in performance terms.

[Shuaiouke]

So just give me a sec, I want a loop to edit the addresses one by one, that's what I mean by progressively since I don't even know there's soemthing called progressive edit, want a loop like

for(int i = 0, i < Number of the addresses, i++)

{

string t =" address";

t.value = 1;

}

at least that's how u write it in Java

Have you tried it at least? I highly doubt that searching for 500 consecutive addresses and editing all of them to one value can noticeably slow down your script. So are you sure that it does not suffice because of performance reasons?

As pointed out above, editing values one-by-one in a loop is very inefficient. This approach should be used instead, if simple one with fuzzy search does not suffice:

Example of implementing it:

local startAddress = 0x12340000
local count = 500
local editValue = '555444'
local values = {}
for i = 1, count do
  values[i] = {address = startAddress; flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD; value = editValue}
  startAddress = startAddress + 4
end
gg.setValues(values)

first, I don't care about time since it's editing like characters u have so it's in the menu and it's singleplayer, and second, how do I make the script u made to fit what I need

first wat does editValue does and wat does values list do
