A CEAddressString is a string formatted for use by Cheat Engine's internal symbol handler to interpret an address.
These addresses do not start with a 0x prefix, but do support basic math operations.
Example: "00400500+12"
Pointer Syntax[edit]
Pointers are written between [ and ].
Example: [[game.exe+1234]+12]+8 for a pointer that is written as:
8 12 game.exe+1234
Global Lua Symbol[edit]
The address specifier can also be a global Lua symbol, but then it can only be the Lua symbol.
You do that by starting the CEAddressString with a $-sign.
Example: $MyGlobalsymbol
Relative Addressing[edit]
If an entry on the cheat table is nested under another entry, its address can begin with a +, and will be interpreted as an offset to that parent entry.
For example, if the parent entry is at the address "00400500+12", then the child entry with the address "+1" would resolve to "00400500+12+1".
Examples[edit]
"00400500+12" -- Absolute address with offset "game.exe+1234" -- Module base plus offset "[[game.exe+1234]+12]+8" -- Multi-level pointer "$MyGlobalsymbol" -- Global Lua symbol "+1" -- Offset relative to parent entry
