Pointer - Starline Lua API

Typed reads and writes at an address. Pointer(addr).

local addr = cheat.FindPattern("client.dll", "...")
local p    = Pointer(addr + 0x30)
local hp   = p:i32()          -- read
p:i32(100)                    -- write

Fields

p.address   -- the address as a number

Read-only. Use arithmetic to make a new Pointer.

Arithmetic


`p + n`	new `Pointer` offset by `n` bytes
`p - n`	same, other direction
`p - q`	byte distance between two pointers (number)
`p == q`	address equality

Read / Write

One method per width. No arg reads, one arg writes.

Method	Type
`p:i8()`, `p:u8()`	8-bit int, signed / unsigned
`p:i16()`, `p:u16()`	16-bit
`p:i32()`, `p:u32()`	32-bit
`p:i64()`, `p:u64()`	64-bit (>2^53 loses precision through Lua’s number)
`p:f32()`, `p:f64()`	float / double
`p:bool()`	one byte, non-zero
`p:ptr()`	pointer-sized read, returns a new `Pointer`; write accepts a `Pointer` or address number
`p:string([max])`	null-terminated string, capped at `max` bytes (default 16384)

p:f32(3.14)
local addr = (Pointer(base):ptr() + 0x10):i32()
local name = Pointer(pName):string(64)

Protected memory access errors with access denied. Unmapped addresses can crash the game. Prefer entity.* for schema fields.
