Writes the given text to the given address, in Cheat Engine's memory. This does not write a 0-terminator at the end. You need to use [[writeBytesLocal]] yourself if you need one. Set WideChar to true if it is encoded using a widechar formatting.

Writes a string to the specified address in Cheat Engine's own process memory (not the target process).

Set ''WideChar'' to true to write the string as widechar (UTF-16/Unicode).

function writeStringLocal(Address, String, [WideChar]) : Boolean

Writes a string to the specified address in Cheat Engine's own process memory (not the target process). Set WideChar to true to write the string as widechar (UTF-16/Unicode). Returns true on success.

Function Parameters[edit]

Parameter Type Description
Address Integer or CEAddressString The address in Cheat Engine's memory to write to.
String String The string to write.
WideChar Boolean (optional) Set to true to write as a widechar (UTF-16/Unicode) string. Default is false (ASCII/ANSI).

Returns[edit]

Boolean — true if the write was successful, false otherwise.

Examples[edit]

-- Write an ASCII string to address 0x123456 in CE's memory
local success = writeStringLocal(0x123456, "Hello, Cheat Engine!")
print("Write successful:", success)

-- Write a widechar (Unicode) string to a CEAddressString
writeStringLocal("00400000+10", "Unicode Text", true)
