poking two value on a same location?

[Mohsin]

i don`t know if its even possible thats why i`m posting it here, please take a look at this image.



Value 1 stores the item like 01,02,03,04........

Value 2 turns to 0001 when u pick an item, thus telling the game that now u have the item, all works fine in the mame debugger, first i type command to set the "value 2" to 0001 then i change the "value 1" to anything to get that item, but it doesnt work when this is put all togather in a cheat file like

Code: Select all

<script state="run">
<action>maincpu.pw@8F1514=0x02</action>
<action>maincpu.pd@8F1514=0001</action>
</script>

the cheat engine will totally ignore the first value and freeze the 2nd value, in the above code it will just freeze value 2, game just thinks it has a item, but what item???? there is no 0000 item, but if i put maincpu.pd@8F1514=0001 first, now game dont even know it has a item, but item value is poked.

i dont know if i`m doing this wrong? or its even possible? if u can please tell me how to poke both the value togather it will be really great.

Code: Select all

<script state="run">
<action>maincpu.pw@8F1514=0x02</action>
<action>maincpu.pd@8F1514=0001</action>
</script>

In the first action you are poking 2 bytes (w (word)) at 8F1514, in the 2nd you are poking 4 bytes (d (double word)) at 8F1514, so the 2nd poke will overwrite the first regardless

so you either rearrange them to:-

Code: Select all

<action>maincpu.pd@8F1514=00000001</action>
<action>maincpu.pw@8F1514=0002</action>

or better change it to one double write:

Code: Select all

<action>maincpu.pd@8F1514=00020001</action>

oh, i see now what i was doing wrong i was totally over writing the value, dont know when searching in the cheat engine will be implemented, but i could really use some help, if you could please write a little topic about the new xml cheat format, it would really help us a lot.
