Hey guys,
the goal is to increase the number of arrows my character owns for his bow. So I search for the addresses as usual (shooting arrows, filtering, shooting arrows, filtering,..) and CE finds four addresses always holding the exact values of the arrow count. No no matter if I lock them or change them, the game doesnt care. I cannot modify the number of arrows ingame. Please someone give me some advice, I am totally at my witts end Sad

There's a lot of reasons this can happen.
If you search for 4-bytes, it could be the actual value is a single byte, and you've only found an intermediate variable.

It could also be that it's not aligned. Try turning off Fast Scan.

It could also be that it's stored as a float and the variable you've found is a conversion to an integer.

It could also be that the number of arrows aren't stored verbatim. Could be that it's how many arrows you've used, and not how many you have. So if you can have 10 arrows, and you have 8 left, the value you'd be looking for is 2.

Could also be that there is no variable at all, and it's an array with an empty element as terminator, and the game gets the number of arrows by counting the elements in the array.


Not saying it's necessarily any of the above, but they aren't limited to doing things a certain way.

Just wondering, but how would you resolve this situation?

Search for float.

This person is correct. You just weren't counting the nocked arrow. This applies to all all ammo - make sure to count the rounds in the chamber.
