hey i learnt to use this cheat engine thing pretty thoroughly using the tutorial but what i could never get to work is what is bugging me in the games i try to cheat in
in my game (Red Alert 2) the cash value has three addresses, if i change one it shifts back to the original value, so i change all three and it works right?
two of the three do not ever change their addresses, but the third i think is "dynamic" am i right? it always changes everytime i start a new game or leave and whatever.
if i wanted to make a trainer how would i get the third address if i can't edit it there and then everytime if i'm only running the trainer and not cheat engine?
i need to make a trainer for my friend.
the first few trainers i made dont work because whatever third address i put in will be different for the next game?
i know this has to do with pointers and dissassembler code dealies and whattever else.
The bottom line is
i just need to know how to make a money trainer if the game has three addresses, two of them static one dynamic.

Find out what writes to the adress (right click the adress and select that option). You'll get a commmand like this: "mov [eax+13],Whatever". Double clik it and keep the new window open.
Set the search type to 4 bytes, check the box for hexadecimal and enter the value of eax (You can see it in the new window). Search for it.

Click "enter adress manually". Check the box "Pointer". Enter the adress you found (the adress, not the value wich is an adress to), and enter the proper offset (in this case it would be 13). Don't forget to choose the right type (4 byte, 2 byte or something)

Okay, if you got to many, dont start a new scan but quit the game. Start it again (and link CE to the game) and repeat everything over again while you keep the old scan. If this still keeps 60 value's any one of them should be good.

well, if they stayed the same after a startup, it's safe to assume they'll work. I would keep them all in your list just to be safe.
