Examples
local source = getAddress("game.exe")
local copiedAddress = copyMemory(source, 1024)
if copiedAddress ~= nil then
print("Copied memory to: " .. string.format("%X", copiedAddress))
else
print("Failed to copy memory")
end
local source = getAddress("game.exe")
local destination = allocateMemory(1024)
local copiedAddress = copyMemory(source, 1024, destination)
if copiedAddress ~= nil then
print("Copied memory to: " .. string.format("%X", copiedAddress))
