Cheat Engine

[Dystopia76]

I have been using cheat engine with a game to try and find some base addresses, so far I have found the base address for the amount of gold I have and this always shows the correct value each time I launch the game.

However I am having trouble finding the focus value of the player.

The steps I am using are
1. scan the memory and find the value for the players focus.
There are three values returned each time that effect the players focus, I am assuming that one of these is the max focus another the focus re-gen, and another the actual focus displayed to the player. so I test each of these values and find the one that does indeed change the player focus. which it does.

2. run a pointer scan

3. restart the game and find the value in memory for the focus and test this value changes the player focus in game. which it does.

4. this is where things start to go wrong, when i do a re-scan of the memory for the second value, the pointer scan always returns blank.

Would anyone be able to offer any advice on how to proceed or what I am doing wrong.

For a mono game if you really want to use pointers like that you'll want more levels and to specify the offset.

Or you could use one of the other methods there.
