Cheat Engine

[FrankFranks]

Let me see if I can lay this out so that I don't confuse people or sound like an idiot.

I currently have in my possession the .lua and .xml files that define what kind of loot containers spawn on a given map and their coordinates.

I would like to be able to do two things:

I would like to be able to determine my own coordinates (the game provides no readout of that).

I would like to be able to tell if a certain loot container exists at the coordinates it should exist at.

My question, should this be possible to do with cheat engine? If it is, how should I then proceed?

Edit: Got the first part done using "Memory Hacking Software". Took the coordinates of a known object and searched for them when directly adjacent to the object.

Still a bit lost on the next part, I can probably determine that SOMETHING is at any given coordinates but I am not sure how to bridge the gap between knowing something is present and identifying what that something is.
