Lua:encodeFunctionEx

<> Lua API Reference

function encodeFunctionEx(string, pathtodll) : string

Converts a Lua script string into an encoded function string.

This is similar to encodeFunction, but it uses a script string instead of a function object and allows specifying which Lua DLL should be used.

Function Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
string	String	The Lua script that should be encoded.
pathtodll	String (optional)	The path to the Lua DLL that should be used for encoding.

Returns

String — The encoded function string.

Architecture Compatibility

The Lua DLL must match the architecture of the current Cheat Engine process.

Current Process	Allowed Lua DLL	Result
32-bit Cheat Engine	32-bit Lua DLL	Compatible.
64-bit Cheat Engine	64-bit Lua DLL	Compatible.
32-bit Cheat Engine	64-bit Lua DLL	Not compatible.
64-bit Cheat Engine	32-bit Lua DLL	Not compatible.

Examples

1 local encoded = encodeFunctionEx([[
2   print("Hello from an encoded script")
3 ]])
4 
5 local decoded = decodeFunction(encoded)
6 decoded()

 1 local script = [[
 2   return function(value)
 3     return value * 2
 4   end
 5 ]]
 6 
 7 local encoded = encodeFunctionEx(script)
 8 local decoded = decodeFunction(encoded)
 9 
10 local fn = decoded()
11 print(fn(21))

1 local luaDllPath = "C:\\\\Cheat Engine\\\\lua53-64.dll"
2 
3 local encoded = encodeFunctionEx([[
4   print("Encoded with a specific Lua DLL")
5 ]], luaDllPath)
6 
7 local decoded = decodeFunction(encoded)
8 decoded()
