Lua:readPointerLocal

function readPointerLocal(Address) : Integer

Reads a pointer-sized integer from the specified address in Cheat Engine's own process memory (not the target process). In a 64-bit build, this is equivalent to readQwordLocal; in a 32-bit build, it is equivalent to readIntegerLocal.

Function Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Address	Integer or CEAddressString	The address in Cheat Engine's memory to read from.

Returns

Integer — The pointer-sized value read from the specified address.

Examples

-- Read a pointer from address 0x123456 in CE's memory
local ptr = readPointerLocal(0x123456)
print("Pointer value:", ptr)

-- Read from a CEAddressString
local ptr2 = readPointerLocal("00400000+10")
print("Pointer value:", ptr2)
