Hi,

I am trying to create a trainer for the game GTA 5.
Now, I downloaded a cheat table for it on this forum, and I have a pointer adress of the wanted level in GTA 5. But the problem is, is that I need to code the trainer and need to change the value with this code: WriteInteger("GTA5", &H5005D1A6, ammount)
In &H5005D1A6 needs to be the adress that I want to use. But it doesn't let me put the adress in it! I get a error, and I searched around and I think it is because of that the adress is in 4 bytes and it needs to be in 2 bytes. But I'm not sure, and if it is, how to get it in 2 bytes?
This is the adress: 7FF72B210020
Hope you guys can help me!

&H5005D1A6 is the address to which you are writing the integer "ammount"

I guess what you really want is:

WriteInteger("GTA5", &H7FF72B210020, ammount)

If the address you're writing to is 2-bytes, then you need to use a WriteShort() function.

Hi, see the screenshot Smile

Thanks for the replies,
When I try to set the type to 2 bytes nothing happens.. Maybe because I am trying it in a cheating table?

If I try
WriteInteger("GTA5", &H7FF72B210020, ammount)
I get a error, think it is too long?

Seems like you are using the ReadWritingMemory module for VB.

Try this:

Short is a 2-byte data type.
I don't believe it is actually necessary in this case because the function is defined to accept an Integer anyway.

The 2 at the end is an optional argument to tell the function how many bytes it should write.
This defaults to 4, because most of the time you're writing a full Integer (4-bytes).

Where did "&H5005D1A6" come from anyway? Was it in an example you found?
That is the address to which it is going to write your value.
You claim the actual game address is "7FF72B210020".

If this is the case, you need to use the value I specified.
However, the function is only defined to use an Integer, and that value is a Long.
You'll need to rewrite the function to properly handle 64-bit addresses.

By the way, I highly doubt "7FF72B210020" is a static address, so that's not going to work.

Edit: I missed the Integer requirement of the function Sad

and i thought that "5005D1A6" is your address, then you said it was just an example.

Here are updated code:

you have offsets for this pointer?

Not sure how you get the base game address using your code, but you need to do this:
