Cheat - Starline Lua API

Utility functions.

GetScreenSize

local w, h = cheat.GetScreenSize()

Returns two numbers, the game’s resolution.

GetCursorPos

local x, y = cheat.GetCursorPos()

Returns two numbers, in the same screen pixels the renderer draws in. Only moves while the menu is open; in game the cursor is locked.

GetDpiScale

local scale = cheat.GetDpiScale()
renderer.Text(font, "hi", 20, 20, Color(255, 255, 255), 14 * scale)

Returns the user’s menu scale. Renderer sizes are raw pixels, so multiply them by this value when matching the menu scale.

IsInGame

if cheat.IsInGame() then ... end

IsMenuOpen

if cheat.IsMenuOpen() then ... end

GetMapName

local map = cheat.GetMapName()

Returns the short map name (de_dust2), or nil when not in a game.

FindPattern

local addr = cheat.FindPattern('client.dll', '48 8B 05 ? ? ? ? 48 85 C0 74 ?')

? is a wildcard byte. Returns the address as a number, or nil if not found.

FindExport

local addr = cheat.FindExport('kernel32.dll', 'VirtualAlloc')

Returns the address as a number, or nil if the module or export is missing.

GetModule

local base = cheat.GetModule('client.dll')

Returns the module’s base address as a number, or nil if it is not loaded.

Interface

local addr = cheat.Interface("engine2.dll::Source2EngineToClient001")
local addr = cheat.Interface("engine2.dll", "Source2EngineToClient001")

Accepts either "module::name" or separate module and name strings. Returns the interface address, or nil if it is unavailable. The name is prefix-matched, so a versionless "Source2EngineToClient00" still resolves.

SchemaOffset

local off = cheat.SchemaOffset("C_BaseEntity->m_iHealth")

Name	Type
Field	String, `ClassName->field_name`

Returns a schema field’s runtime offset, or nil if unresolved.

FNV1A

local h = cheat.FNV1A("some_key")

32-bit FNV1A hash of the string.

Murmur2

local tok = cheat.Murmur2("bombPlanted")
local h   = cheat.Murmur2("bombPlanted", 0xDEADBEEF)

Returns a 32-bit MurmurHash2. The optional seed defaults to 0x31415926.

GetClipboard

local text = cheat.GetClipboard()

Returns clipboard text, or nil if none is available.

SetClipboard

cheat.SetClipboard("hi")

GetUsername

local who = cheat.GetUsername()

The user’s forum username.

Log output

cheat.LogChat("script loaded")
cheat.LogScreen("config applied")

LogChat writes to chat. LogScreen shows an on-screen log.

Addresses from this page are plain numbers. Wrap one with entity.Cast for typed access.
