Is there an option to step back from where a breakpoint is set, similar to ollydbg? For example, if I dissect code at the entry point of where my health changes, I can set a breakpoint on the call that accesses this area of code. However, instead of working forward, stepping through the entire call, I'd like to be able to just set a breakpoint on the entry point and step backwards to see where the jump is made to this entry point.

Can this be done with CE?

Thanks.

Once the breakpoint has triggered check the stacktrace view in the bottom-right
Depending on the view the first result is what called the function you are currently in, or [esp] will point to that instead (If you're actually at the entrypoint)

I can't seem to make sense of it. I'll keep trying.

Thanks.

It's easy.
Place a breakpoint at the start of the function.
When it is hit, look at the bottom right of the window.
There you see the stack.
The first address will be the point after the call.
So just go there and scroll up.

Maybe you have to change the stack view (right click an select ESP+ or EBP+)
