Formatting...

Language: lua
while true do
        table = joypad.get(1)
        if table.Y then
                if     table.right then  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  3)  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D,  2000)
                elseif table.left  then  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -3)  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, -2000)  end
        else
                if     table.right then  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  2)
                elseif table.left  then  memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -2)  end
        end
        emu.frameadvance()
end

Should be a little bit faster, too.

Last one for a while. Sorry guys! I'm trying to recreate hippie's 'cursed cart', ie X to fly. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Download Cursed.lua

Language: lua
while true do
  table = joypad.get(1)
  if (table.X) then
    local reads = memory.readword(0x7E0EF5)
    memory.writeword(0x7E0EF5,reads + 5)
  end
  emu.frameadvance()
end

also, my original code is acting funky. it seems that it glitches up the overworld. is there any way to have it active ONLY when a lvl is entered? Download fortheloveof.lua

Language: lua
while true do
table = joypad.get(1)
if table.right then
	memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,2)
  end
  if table.left then
	memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,-2)
  end
if (table.Y) then
  if table.right then
    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D,2000)
	memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,3)
  end
  if table.left then
    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, -2000)

NEVERMIND! figured it out :) [code speed.lua] while true do local status= memory.readbyte(0x7E1B03) table = joypad.get(1) if (status == 1) then if table.Y then if table.right then memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, 3) memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, 2000) elseif table.left then memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -3) memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, -2000) end else if table.right then memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, 2) elseif table.left then memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -2) end end end emu.frameadvance() end [/code] i used RAM search to search for a value for whether or not im in a level. i found many, so i just picked one. then i used an if statement to only allow the speed alterations when im in a lvl.

Calling your code with memory.registerwrite() on 0x7E0046 (a frame counter only active in playable stages, according to this) should probably work.

Language: lua
memory.registerwrite(0x7E0046, function()

	--[your stuff here]

end)
 
while true do
	emu.framveadvance()
end

edit: Or whatever else works! Also, you can edit previous posts instead of multi-posting.

is there any wait command in lua as i need to wait about a second from entering the stage to activate my speedhack or the camera freezes

You can count frames. timer = emu.frameadvance()+60 Check the framecount every frame, and if it's equal to your timer, fire your event.

ok, makes sense. but frameadvance is a nil value? should i instead use get.frameadvance?

Uh, it was supposed to be framecount.

i got that, thanks. but my if clause is never entered. why? Download speed.lua

Language: lua
local count = 0
local timer
while true do
        local status= memory.readbyte(0x7E1B03) 
        table = joypad.get(1)
        if (status == 1) then
		count = count + 1  --This is to force if when stage entered.
		  if (count == 1) then		  
		    timer = emu.framecount() + 60 --Increments timer to 60 more than frame count on stafe entrance 
		  end
			if (timer == emu.framecount()) then  
    	    	if table.Y then
                    if     table.right then  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  3)  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D,  2000)
                    elseif table.left  then  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -3)  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, -2000)  
				    end
                    else
                    if     table.right then  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  2)
                    elseif table.left  then  
					memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -2)  
					end
				end
            end
		count = 0
		end
        emu.frameadvance()
end

-edit: i hate notepad++. it is formatted right when i send it im guessing tabs arent counted? ---edit:i added this code towards the end, replacing count = 0

elseif status == 0 then
		count = 0
		end

but it doesnt solve my problem -----edit: I SOLVED IT!!! Download speed.lua

Language: lua
local count = 0
local timer
local setup
while true do
        local status= memory.readbyte(0x7E1B03)

            timer = emu.framecount() + 60 --Increments timer to 60 more than frame count on stafe entrance 
          end
          if timer == emu.framecount() then
            setup = 1
          end
            if (setup == 1) then  
            	if table.Y then
                    if     table.right then  
                    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  3)  
                    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D,  2000)
                    elseif table.left  then  
                    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B, -3)  
                    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8D, -2000)  
                    end
                    else
                    if     table.right then  
                    memory.writeword(0x7E0E8B,  2)

i have a question that may enhance it. is there anyway to recognize when a game turns off the inputs so i can do the same?

It's also useful to keep addresses as readable variables, makes a lot of sense when you start fiddling with lots of them.

If I understood correctly, track the adress that tracks input and set it to end your script when it's set to 0 (no input).

good idea! hey, does anybody know how to inject this in a ROM? itd be easier to show my friends without providing them more steps.

Now you're talking about ROM hacking, and not TASing, so you should probably research that. Alternately, you can share the Lua script with your friends, and they'll have access to your cool cheat if they want to use it.

i really don't consider myself a TASer as i've not made any TAS yet... so i just clung to the idea of a hacker...

i'm sorry guys. i've been acting silly. i got caught up on hacks that i pushed TAS to the side, which I shouldn't have. it's just that making a TAS is a huge undertaking while hacks... aren't. i'm sorry. i goofed. plus, i'm in a very large shadow. however, one thing you guys MAY find interesting is i found a ram value that simulates a B press in a stage, so i'm sure there must be others. this is useful in that you could write code that fires ONLY when the game allows input. edit: i found this ram value: 7E16E7. it's roll with diddy. if you force to 1 you cant roll. it's 1 byte.
