Hey, everyone

I was messing around with the CE tutorial practicing scripts and I'm having an issue with the pointers/Multi-Level pointers. I can find the base address with no problem and my AA script works just fine, but when you change the pointer, the tutorial won't allow you to click the button for a few seconds after you change the pointer. The address changes to 5000 even after the pointer has been changed, but because I can't press the button, the the value changes temporarily. Is there a different method?

I made a video explaining what I'm trying to do.

That instruction is only run when you click on the "Change Value" button. Because that button is (more or less) disabled while it's checking to see if the value has been changed to 5000, that instruction isn't a suitable injection point to complete step 8.

Instead, you could modify the value the new address is initialized to:

Thanks for responding. That script works and changes the value, but when I change the pointer, it changes the value to something random and doesn't enable the button.

Why did you start the injection at B8 A0 0F 00 00 when the instruction changes at 89 42 18? Is that just to have more searchable bytes?

basically theres two values here, one related to change value, second related to change pointer.

once you click on change pointer, it wont use the same (op code / instruction)

try to find the base pointer, then see what writes to that pointer (not value or address pointed by a pointer) simply just nop it.
this is one way, and there is lot of ways to pass this step.
you can even use speed hack to slow the tutorial, and find the timer.
its a loop, it write the new value with new pointer after the loop is terminated.
in other words, when the timer hits 0 it write the new value and pointer.
so basically nop that.

and theres at least 5-7 ways to pass this step.

I found the base address and what writes to it

0040F04B - 89 03 - mov [ebx],eax <<

If I nop that, it crashes the tutorial.

I found the timer value, but CE didn't actually slow the tutorial down; even when I check pause while scanning. If I nop that, just hovering my mouse over the change pointer button crashes the game.

I know this is a silly request, but I'm still trying to figure it out.

maybe i was bad in explanation, true im bad.

but, i disagree with you ParkourPenguin.

i have reversed engineer it, and found two functions controlling the value, one from pointer, second from change value button.
