I need help on how to make a loop inside a case that it is inside a do-while loop-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a while (true) loop inside of a case with a do-while loop but when I put the while (true) in the case the menu doesn't loop back to the console and I need to close the debugger and run it again can someone help me I'm new to c .

Here is my code:

do
{
    std::cout << "[0] Quit\n"; // This is Option 0 of the Menu
    std::cout << "[1] Infinite Health\n"; // This is Option 1 of the Menu
    std::cout << "[2] Infinite Ammo\n"; // This is Option 2 of the Menu
    std::cout << "[3] Infinite Rounds\n"; // This is Option 3 of the Menu
    std::cin >> choice;


    switch (choice) // This is to detect the Choice the User selected
    {
    case 0:
        std::cout << "Why did you even open me to not use me :(\n";
        return 0;

    case 1:
        std::cout << "You Have Activated Infinite Health!\n";
        
        while (true)
        {
            int health = 1000;
            WriteProcessMemory(phandle, (LPVOID*)(healthPtrAddr), &health, 4, 0);
        }
        break;
    case 2:
        std::cout << "You Have Activated Infinite Ammo On Primary Weapon!\n";

        while (true)
        {
            int ammo = 500;
            WriteProcessMemory(phandle, (LPVOID*)(ammoPtrAddr), &ammo, 4, 0);
        }
        break;
    case 3:
        std::cout << "You Have Activated Infinite Rounds On Primary Weapon!";

        while (true)
        {
            int rounds = 200;
            WriteProcessMemory(phandle, (LPVOID*)(roundsPtrAddr), &rounds, 4, 0);
        }
        break;
    }
} 
while (choice !=0);

CodePudding user response：

Yes it doesn't return, because it is blocking the program.

To solve your problem you could put the loop inside of another thread.

if you include the thread library using:

#include <thread>

You'd then have to define the function that should run:

void keepHealth() {
    while (true)
    {
        int health = 1000;
        WriteProcessMemory(phandle, (LPVOID*)(healthPtrAddr), &health, 4, 0);
    }
}

You can now execute this function in another thread with:

std::thread task1(keepHealth);

If you want to pass arguments like your handles, you'd have to write them in the function header:

void keepHealth(void* pHandle, void* healthPtrAddress) {
    while (true)
    {
        int health = 1000;
        WriteProcessMemory(phandle, (LPVOID*)(healthPtrAddr), &health, 4, 0);
    }
}

and pass them like this:

std::thread task1(keepHealth, pHandle, healthPtrAddress);
