Damn, I must have got it all wrong then. Thanks for the correction.

pointer is static based on how your program is built
and if u load up your program it finds a random spot in memory (RAM)
now that random address + your pointer gives you your value or address to another pointer however its built.

Now if u got a dll file u built in C++ injected into ur programs it becomes part of it.. so it starts to share pointers with ya. Then u dont need to worry bout any random address.

But seriouslyss just do a pointer example in C++ make a bunch of int's near each other do a printf("1: %X, &first); etc.. and u will find out the address goes up by 4.. if its a int.. etc.. so thats what a pointer is.. its a address in memory which isn't random its like part of the program source code.

the addresses u find in cheat engine is just like finding a needle in a haystack.. its random loaded spot + program pointer to get your value.

so u reload ur program it won't be same address cuz random loaded spot changed..

Now if u dont want to do injections but still get that random address. i said there some api to get where its loaded. i think its called OpenProcess() then u use it with WriteProcessmemory() or something like that and change by pointers

Alternatively, if you have direct memory access (injected dll case), you can do this:

or instead of using char* if you have a array full of int's u could use DWORD* and it will increment by 4 instead of 1 aka (char*)

DWORD p[4] = {1111111,2222222,123123};
DWORD p1,p2,p3;

p1 = ((DWORD *)&p)[1];
p2 = ((DWORD *)&p)[2];
p3 = ((DWORD *)&p)[3];

DWORD* abc = p;

p1 = ((DWORD *)abc)[1];
p2 = ((DWORD *)abc)[2];
p3 = ((DWORD *)abc)[3];


*(DWORD*)abc[1] = blahlbah
*(DWORD*)abc[2] = blahlbah
*(DWORD*)abc[3] = blahlbah


meh just fooling around
