Cheat Engine

Ive been programming for about 10 years now... And I decided I wanted to Create a simple program that gets a couple a variables from a games process. It took me awhile to finally find some sort of STATIC address for the variables that I found, but It turns out CE is telling me its ["THREADSTACK1"-<some address>].

I have no idea what this means, But all I know is I dont think I can use this for my own Trainer thing im trying to program.

Whats the step process I need to do to get rid of this THREADSTACK so I can get a proper Static Address to use for my program?

Threadstack# is a semi-static variable that points to a place in the stack that has been deemed it's start (the ExitThread call specifically)

In your case i suggest you ditch that pointer and find one your trainer engine does support

you can sort the base address column, then close the .ptr file. Delete the .ptr file with a negative subindex, and then reopen it and you'll be rid of them
Also, when you do a scan you can tell cheat engine to not pick stack addresses as static

But keep in mind this code

so what your saying, If the Game (or application) variable im trying to get to, Lies within from a Start of a thread, Im basically doomed to get a real Static Address for that variable?

there may be other static variables you can use as an entry
E.g steamapi might contain a static pointer to the graphics device, which contains a pointer to the gui, which contains a pointer to the game

I have the same problem ie. silly number of pointer hits (86 gigs of PTR files) and the majority being THREADSTACK0 and THREADSTACK1.
