Cheat Engine

I am on Windows 8.1 with CE v6.4. I want to hack the race time of the Asphalt 8 (1.9.1c) offline (singleplayer) races.

I have a trainer by Kiran Murmu which hacks the race time and starts a timer at 18.xxx seconds with only 15 seconds left to complete the race, so every race completes at the time 33.xxx seconds. I want to either hack the race time directly in the game or from the trainer reduce the 15 seconds to 0 second.

I have tried earlier by hacking the game directly like:
Time in race is 43.779 seconds, so I scan 43779 in Cheat Engine, it shows many values, then I do next scan and I am left with few addresses, but when I change the value, the change in time is not reflected in game.

And the process with trainer:
Same thing happens with trainer, I scan 15000 in trainer and change its value to 0, but then also the timer in game starts from 15 second till the race is finished.

What do I do plz help, If you are going to suggest to go for pointers please please explain every step as I am new to Cheat Engine pointers thingy, I am not even able to convert eax+edx+10 to a hexadecimal pointer address - it gives me "??" when I try to add address manually of pointer. Also there are many address which corresponds the time so which Address should I take?

Please help ..... Thank You in advance.........

Just a quick thought of mine:
Did you try the time as 4Byte w/o decimal point? If so just try float and enter just the number before the point. If the time is 44.3s then search for 44 (w/ truncated option) or between 44 and 45. Usually timers are float or double values. When you found some addresses you can quickly check which one is correct because it corresponds with your level time. And if that works you don't need the trainer any more.

When you searched for milliseconds as a 4-byte, did you also use the range scan?
So with 15 seconds, you would search for a value between 14000 and 16000.
Another thing to try is searching for elapsed time instead of time left.
So if the clock starts at 2:00, when it reaches 1:50, search float between 9 and 11.
When it reaches 1:40, rescan float between 19 and 21. Etc.
If that fails, try again searching milliseconds as 4-bytes.

If you wanted take the lazy way you could use a trainer spy on the trainer and see what address it's altering. Or if you wanted to take another shot at the game search for floats. If you can see the value in game then use the Value Between scan option and set it 1-2 whole numbers both ways. That will eliminate you having to guess how many decimal points there are to the right(tenths, hundredths, thousandths ect.) Or if your not sure it's a float then do an All for Value Type.

If changing the variable you found did not have an effect in-game, then you found the wrong address.
Games can store the total race time in one variable and use an elapsed timer.
The display variable (the one you found) is then calculated on the fly by subtracting the elapsed time from the total time.
That is why changing your variable has no effect in-game.

That is why I told you to use a different method.

So here it is, I made some progress atlast:

I downgraded my Windows to 32 bit and used the Trainer Spy for the trainer.

Here is the information:

When I enabled the Time Hack option, Trainer Spy showed the following information:

I then opened cheat engine and hooked the game to it, and added those addresses manually, so here are the 4 Byte Values:

Every time I did this, the addresses were same, the values were same, but only the Hex were different. So, Now I have no idea what to do next?

Go to those address within the top portion of memory view.
Find the instructions that are being modified and find out what addresses those instructions access.
This should give you the timer address. Now you can see how the time is stored in game.
Go back to 64-bit and find that same type of value.
