function getOpenedProcessID() : Integer
Returns the process ID of the currently opened process in Cheat Engine. If no process is open, returns 0.
Note: getOpenedProcessID() does not return 0 after a process was closed. It will still return the previous ID, even if the process has been terminated. To check if the process is still available, use readInteger(process).
Function Parameters[edit]
<none>
Returns[edit]
Integer — The process ID of the currently opened process, or 0 if none.
Examples[edit]
local pid = getOpenedProcessID()
if pid ~= 0 then
print("Current process ID:", pid)
local check = readInteger(process)
if check == pid then
print("Process is still the same and available.")
else
print("Process has changed or is no longer available.")
end
else
print("No process is currently open.")
end
