Strange output from Hex() Function

[czardas]

It's still worth investigating where the conversion to double occured. It must be happening somewhere within your script. Sanity checking input (forced conversion in this case) is good practice. You should also declare your variables before use.

Local $vTest
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($vTest) & @LF)
$vTest += 1
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($vTest) & @LF)
$vTest /= 1
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($vTest) & @LF)

The thing is, this variable is being passed as a parameter to this function.  If it is an empty string to begin with, because it is not

delclared , it seems like it would inherit the data type of the variable that was being passed to it.  I did try to declare it up top

but it produces the same result,.  I set it to 1. Which i would think would be an integer.  When it is passed to function , it seems to be

inheriting the data type of the receiving variable instead.  Why this would change is odd.  If it is a string , then I would assume it to throw an

error when trying to do arithmetic on a string.  maybe someone knowd the internal type casting when passing parameters and can enlighten me.

just tried

$CurrentMemorySearchAddress = Int( $CurrentMemorySearchAddress )

That fails also!

Just browsing the code you posted, I see that in many places you declare pointer parameters as Int or dword, which is wrong.

Also there is no place where you put anything else than a string of question marks in the prochandle, a.s.o.

Finally I'm done with code meant to cheat on game emulators.

The example script is pointles now. 

The problem is the type casting of an undeclared var to a funtions input parameter.

The passed variables type is not retained and it is set to String.

This works for the Hex() function, but the variable is then incremented.  At this point it is

converted to a Double.  This does NOT work in the Hex() function. 

Hex( Int( $MyVar ) ) fixed the problem, but strangely enuough:

$MyVar = Int( $MyVar )  then

Hex( $MyVar )  does NOT work.

 

That seems VERY odd.

Ok, I have solved this little problem once and for all.

Thanks to all who helped, and especially the advice on VarGetType(). It was the

reason it was solved.  Turned out that when setting my variables to the values in the

BASIC_MEMORY_STRUCTURE  struct from the VirtualQuerryEx function call , the type in the

struct is PVOID.  I am assuming that the assignment of my variable did not know what type to

cast it to , and defaults to a string.  So I added an Int in front of it , ex: MyVar = Int(MBI[0])

Then it cast it to an Int32, and all works fine.
