hello,

i got a little problem using cheatengine.
following:
i noticed on 3 games (egoshooters) that when i try to make me infinite ammo the reload ammo still decreases.
the ammo from guns looks normally like that: 30/120.
ok now i searched the 30 in cheatengine, shot some bullets, and searched again in cheatengine and so on.
ok then i got the variable where the ammo is stored.
i look whats writing to it, find the code which decreases it, and nope it.
but then:
my first 30/120 doesnt decrease, but when i shot, the second ammo thing decreases!
that means, when i shot it shows 30/119 and so on.
(goes then to -30)...
but i cant find a var which holds the second number...
is there any trick to fix that?
(btw. same happens when i freeze the ammo. seems like therre a kinda control for it.)

Maybe you could look for a value that goes for your total ammunition instead. Like, if you have 30/120 (Assuming that that's a full clip) then the value you'd look for would be 3600 (30 x 120). Then you could freeze (Or NOP whatever decreases it) the value and have infinite ammunition.

the second number doesnt shows the clips, it shows the ammo still in the clips.
so when i would shot 30 shots when i got 30/120 and then reload its 30/90.
i already tried searchich for the full number of ammo (in the actual clip and the reloading clips...).
any idea?

You've got me here. The only idea I can think of is to do an Unknown Initial Value search, fire off shots until the second number changes, then search for Changed Value. Keep doing that until you've got it narrowed down. Only problem is that you'll need plenty of ammo, and it might not even work. But hey, that's all I've got.

i need to correct myself:
there are 2 variables holding the second number.
1 which looks like to do nothing...(if i change it, nothing happens, if i freeze it, the ammo still decreases and runs out, if i nop it, nothing happens...)
and the second one (after searching some pointers for it and noping the changing code) changing the number which is visible shown in the game.
(anyway when i nope it, the ammo doesnt change on screen, but the ammo still runs out when i shot^^ [empty ammo error msg after some shots...])

any idea?

PS:
i found a working trainer for Borderlands, is there any way to spy the trainer and see what it changes?
