{{CodeBox|'''function''' copyMemory(''sourceAddress'', ''size'', ''destinationAddress'', ''Method'') ''':''' integer or nil}}

Copies memory from the given source address to the destination address.

If ''destinationAddress'' is omitted or nil, Cheat Engine will allocate a random destination address for the copy.

The ''Method'' parameter controls whether the source and destination addresses are interpreted as target process memory or Cheat Engine memory.

local source = getAddress("game.exe")
local copiedAddress = copyMemory(source, 1024)

if copiedAddress ~= nil then
print("Copied memory to: " .. string.format("%X", copiedAddress))
else
print("Failed to copy memory")
end
</pre>

<pre>
local source = getAddress("game.exe")
local destination = allocateMemory(1024)

local copiedAddress = copyMemory(source, 1024, destination)

if copiedAddress ~= nil then
print("Copied memory to: " .. string.format("%X", copiedAddress))
end
</pre>

<pre>
local source = getAddress("game.exe")

-- Copy memory from the target process to Cheat Engine memory
local copiedAddress = copyMemory(source, 1024, nil, 1)

if copiedAddress ~= nil then
print("Copied memory to CE memory: " .. string.format("%X", copiedAddress))
end
</pre>
