Hi there. I need information how to find the values (or address) of the menu options. For example, I have a choice of three options: single player, local game and the game on the network. It is necessary that when entering the single player is started the local game (or vice versa).

Start with something simple like highlighting the first option and searching for 0. Then highlight the second option and research for 1. Then the next and research for 2 etc. 0 is a common index in most things. However it may not be used in that manner but it is a starting point to try and see if you can find the selection that way.

I tried to check out how it works in the game Resident Evil 6. If I is highlighted menu, nothing happens (pic 1). But if I go into the value changes as you said (pic 2). So I need to look for the value in the lobby (=> next menu). If value is frozen when select any menu will always be Skill Settings. But it does not work in another game. So I'm trying to look for the unknown value, and get a lot of values that are not eliminated. That is the problem. Sad

Using 0 as an index is just something to try first. It will not always be that way in every game. And their index may not follow a 0, 1, 2 pattern. It could be 0, 4, 8, 12 etc and so on based on how their menu system is coded. Doing an unknown scan can be a little annoying but try other things with it too.

Scan for unknown to start.
Then rescan for an increased value after moving the selection down one.
Then rescan for a decreased value after moving the selection back up one.

Or use the changed by value and enter 1 to start and try things that way. Cheat Engine has a lot of options to help filter out unwanted junk, just test out the other various methods of scanning.
