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
<none>
Returns
Integer — The process ID of the currently opened process, or 0 if none.
Examples
1 local pid = getOpenedProcessID()
2 if pid ~= 0 then
3 print("Current process ID:", pid)
4 local check = readInteger(process)
5 if check == pid then
6 print("Process is still the same and available.")
7 else
8 print("Process has changed or is no longer available.")
9 end
10 else
11 print("No process is currently open.")
12 end
