|
|
My sincerest apoligies for asking a noob question; however, I am stuck on this step and eager to figure it out. If anyone could offer me any help, I would greatly appreciate it. My issues are with figuring out the multilevel pointers, steps 1 - 7 were no problem. Thanks!

| Thank you for the reply. I might just be retarded, but I did not find the step 8 tutorial anywhere. Could you kindly point me in the right direction? (Maybe I didn't use search right or something.) |

Err.... xcuse me...
Everyone... my apologies for asking a n00b question too... (I think mine is worse than waffle's).
actually I really dont understand what is pointer... what is offset... what they do... I passed step 1 - 7 all by myself, but i dont really understand what is pointer anyway. I've tried to read and repeat step 6 all over and over again... I can pass step 6 easily by find pointer that change the value, but I dont really understand what pointer means. Right now... step 8 make knocks me out with multilevel pointers and offsets...
I know this is a very basic question, but honestly, I dont understand them at all. If someone can help me, please tell me about understanding pointers... what they do... how they works...
It is much better if u can post a screenshot, pics or anything that can show how these pointers works normally before CE does anything to it.
Or at least please direct me to a source that I can read about pointers, offsets, etc to understand their definiton and how they works.
Ah yes.. of course please teach me about manipulate these pointers too. In step 6 we learned how to find a pointer, but tutorial doesn't teach us to manipulate it... I wish I can manipulate a pointer so I can write down the desired values I want.
Thank you very much in advance  |

Didnt he ask for "something to read about pointers?" Whats the point of your pointless post? Post count?
Dr_Beat...I would bet you are overcomplicating pointers and getting confused as a lot of people do. A pointer is nothing more than a memory address that points to another memory address. Say you have your address for health in a game. A pointer is simply an address in memory that points to that address. Multi level pointers are simply pointers that point to pointers. Take what I said before and expand it. Address A holds your health, Address B is a pointer pointing to address A, and Address C is a pointer pointing to Address B. So C points to B, and B points to A. Multi level. I would recommend you read some tuts...http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewforum.php?f=14 over at the pointer tutorial section. _________________

Geeez, thanks a lot Kjmarket!
I'm goin to read the section u mentioned about.
Last question from your explanation above:
If u want to manipulate what is written in A, it means u must find pointer C first, then manipulate C. Is that right ?
And step 8 teach us about how to trace it and manipulate it. Is that right ?
Well, once again, thanks a lot, u help me much.  |

For example of a multilevelled pointer:
| Code: |
[ { (456712 + 4C) + 2B} + 4]
|
456712 + 4C points to an address..
Then this address plus the offset + 2B points to another address...
Then this other address + 4 points to your final address.
Its this address that the value will get written into.
In another way:
| Code: |
456712 + 4C - level 1
<result> + 2B - level 2
<result> + 4 - level 3
Value gets manipulated at the address pointed at by <result> + 4.
|
Read through tuts until you fully understand what a pointer is and how it works. Offsets will become very clear to you to whilst reading.
It really is not difficult at all, and you'll say that later on  |
