Question 1:
- What is the different between
[eax+000000f8],#1000 and/or
[eax+000000f8],(int)1000

Question 2:
- How do I freeze a script to ex: permanent value = 1000 ?

If I activate a script I have made, the value will not decrease, but it still increases. What to do to set a constant value without increase/decrease?

[rog9001]

well the answer to your first question there is no real big difference between #1000 and (int)1000 and for your second question I will need your script.

[hhhuut]

I specify: Between the lines of your first question there's absolutely no difference for the assembler.

____________________________________________________

It's a AOB Script for Might & Magic 6, but the Gold are still increasing,
but i wan't it to be a constant value set to Value = 9.999.999.

[hhhuut]

As you can see it's a sub command, so it (usually) only takes action is something is to be subtracted.

If your gold still increases that's just logical because somewhere there's another routine that adds gold which you'll have to modify as well.

If you want to only have to modify one address then look for one that is accessing your gold all the time (for example reading the display value) and try to freeze your gold with that.

What is wrong if the gold keeps increasing anyway?

[Crimson Viper]

To hhhuut:
- It must be a standard value because if the gold value get to high, the game will crash.

- It's the same problem with Experience value too. It will affect the game in a badly way, that your "reputation" will get negative reputation and everyone get hostile.

So, there are some limited values I need to be constant.

btw: Your answer are very understandable, so I'll try out your tips

Thank you for very useful answer,

This is the original code:
sub [MM6.exe+508D50],ecx

I'll try out your tips
