Cheat Engine

So it has been some time since I used cheat engine and I forgot how to properly find pointers. Anyways, let me explain my steps and you tell me what I do wrong.

First I scan the address for an inventory slot in a game where I set a value to anything I want, all works good when testing if I found the right address. The address in this case was 16BE9B28.

Next I do the "see what writes to this address" and I get 1 result.
>>004EBEF1 - add [ebx],eax

So I look up the value of ebx which in this case is 16BE9B28 same as the original address that I found. ALso the information window says that the value of the pointer to find this address is probably 16BE9B28.

So I have no idea what to do next. The pointer address can't possibly be 16BE9B28 same as the address I find when first searching, restarting the game proves that its not because it no longer works. Anyone care to explain what I am missing? Shocked

Just make sure you have a good understanding of the distinction between a pointeraddress and a pointervalue

As for the character position it could be that the userinterface is only updated after receiving the position from the server and afterwards it's not used anymore till next update
So try finding where the value gets written and then change that code
And it's also possible you found the wrong coordinate. Perhaps it's an inverse coordinate system and you only found a temporary X coordinate (e.g when you think it increased, it actually decreased)

Ok I got some news, I did the multipointer tutorial and after some issues I got through with it. But I feel I still can't apply my knowledge to the game I'm trying to find a pointer for.

On the multi pointer tutorial step I did this.

1. Find address.
2. Find what writes to it. (get something like eax+18 ) where eax is 123456.
3. I search in for EAX in hex and find the address.
4. Add the found address with the offset +18 and I have the first pointer.
5. Repeat until I reach the end (static address).

With the game I'm trying it goes like this.

1. Find address. (it is 16DB7D0C)
2. Find what writes to it (get >> 004E6F54 - mov [eax],00000000) I look at the bottom and EAX = 16DB7D0C
3. So naturally I search for 16DB7D0C as HEX but it gives me nothing. I'm not sure how to proceed. You said something about reverse engineering?

I also am pretty confident I got the right coordinates. I watched this guys video and at the linked time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkKy3nta-94&feature=player_detailpage#t=576

he says that if its not freezable it means its not writable. Is that so? If that is the case then how do I write to that address?

For 2 use what accesses

And if you still don't find it see if you can figure out how the register gets that value(could be a calculation in front)

Also, if an address is not freezable it means it's only useful to read out. You can't write to it as that won't have any effect anyhow(except give you a seizure if you teleport constantly between the correct and frozen location)
