global variable process
type (nil, string)
A variable that contains the main module name of the currently opened process
Examples[edit]
When not attached to any process:
Code:
print(type(process))
print(process)
print('Attached to ' .. (process or 'NOTHING'))
if process then
print('attached')
else
print('Not Attached')
end
Output:
nil Attached to NOTHING Not Attached
With the same code as above and attached to the Cheat Engine Tutorial (64-Bit):
Output:
string Tutorial-x86_64.exe Attached to Tutorial-x86_64.exe attached
Note: If attached, and the attached process closes the "process" variable will still contain the last attached process' main module name. But "readInteger(process)" can be used.
if process ~= nil and readInteger(process) ~= nil then
print('Attached to ' .. process)
end
