How do you search for "Time" in a game.

I have tried converting time to seconds (say 3:00 is equal to 180 seconds) but that doesn't work. Then I tried milliseconds, but no go. Using "decreased value" in a scan should be a possibility but I haven't had success.

I would like to increase time in one of the levels from, say, 4:00 (four minutes) to 8:00 (eight minutes) Thanks. Question

Well, what game? Time may be a type other than 4 byte integer or something else.

The PC game is "The Great Escape" by Gotham. It is based on the movie starring Steve McQueen and came out around 2004.

hi!
To find time:
new search 2 byte unknow value
then search for increased value.
Every time the game load use a new address so this is pointer based.
I have found time at: 2eb459a
next time it changed to 2xxx9a.
I hope this may help you.

HI: I actually found the time by searching for milliseconds. I even saw it broken down. But, changing the time and locking it doesn't do anything as Time continues to count down. Also, when I look at the Pointer, hundreds of Pointers show up, not one. Confused

IMO it's better you use code injection to stop the timer.

Then you just found a display and not the real value.

Just like when you first search for a value you'll find hundreds and not just one. Use the menus in the pointer scan window to rescan after things change.

maybe it does use GetTickCount() and not a time variable?
