Lua:readBytesLocal

function readBytesLocal(Address, ByteCount, [ReturnAsTable])

Reads bytes from the specified address in Cheat Engine's own process memory (not the target process). Returns the bytes as multiple return values or as a table if ReturnAsTable is true.

Function Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Address	Integer	The address in Cheat Engine's memory to read from.
ByteCount	Integer	The number of bytes to read.
ReturnAsTable	Boolean (optional)	If true, returns a table of bytes. If false or omitted, returns each byte as a separate return value.

Examples

-- Read 4 bytes and get them as separate values
local b1, b2, b3, b4 = readBytesLocal(0x123456, 4)
print(b1, b2, b3, b4)

-- Read 4 bytes and get them as a table
local bytes = readBytesLocal(0x123456, 4, true)
for i, v in ipairs(bytes) do
  print("Byte " .. i .. ": " .. v)
end
