So what I want to do is increase the weapon range of a certain weapon in a game. I do not know the weapon range as it is not stated otherwise.
I am trying to find the address of the weapon and maybe tweak some things around to modify weapon damage, weapon range, weapon color etc.
I tried to find the weapon range by finding the weapon damage address then finding what accesses or writes to the address. Then I would use those addresses and tweak some things around and see what changes.
The weapon is a sword if that helps because guns have ammo but I can swing my sword infinitely.
If anyone can give me tips or any more ideas on how to find the weapon range , I would appreciate it. As for making an account, I need it to get verified so please bare with me.

so basically you are saying is that you have sword as weapon and you want to know its range?
the range is how long the sword is. it cannot be changed. _________________

if you can find it you can change it. EVERYTHING is written in bytes (code or data) and bytes can be changed.
The problem is that it's really hard to find values that don't change and aren't stored next to anything that's easy to find. So... you pretty much have to resort to actually reverse engineering the game's collision/damage code to figure out every little detail about what it's doing to find where it's getting the range value from. This may take you a few hours or hundreds of hours, depending on how complex the code is, how lucky you are to start in a good place (close to where it's used), and how familiar you are with assembly and reverse engineering. Good luck.
and then once you've found it you can do the truly trivial work of changing the value.
