Cheat Engine

False Prophet

I am trying to get player health in a multiplayer game but pointer scan fails after the 3rd or 4th rescan.
I am scanning for 5 offsets using pointer scan. The first and second scan work perfectly but the third rescan usually fails. How do people find these multi level pointers in games built with Unity?

"Finding pointers in Unity engine"

Get the new CE6.5. If you already have it, download and install it anyway (installer version is 6.5.0.3 ,it has post release fixes).

Find the address you are interested in. Add it to the address list. Be sure you set the description column. Right click it, and choose "generate pointermap", save it as 'something_pointermap1'

Restart the game (or Windows) or launch it on other windows profile, or other PC, etc

Find the address you are interested in. Add it to the address list. Be sure you set the description column. Right click it, and choose "generate pointermap", save it as 'something_pointermap2'

Restart the game.... You get the idea. Take all those pointermaps in one place (if you used other PC).

Now, launch only CheatEngine. You don't have to launch the game. You already have pointermaps.
In main CE window press CTRL+M, press CTRL+P, press CTRL+P

1) check "use saved pointermap", select "something_pointermap1" file, choose address in the combobox
2) check "compare results ...", and open other pointermaps, choose addresses in comboboxes.
3) max offset 16384, max level 15,
4) click OK, specify where you want to save a pointerscan, and wait a while (lol, maybe day or two).

Now, restart the game (or Windows), find the address you are interested in. Copy it to clipboard.
In main CE window press CTRL+M, press CTRL+P, press CTRL+O, load pointerscan, press CTRL+R, paste address, click OK.

If that doesn't help, there's no point doing more pointerscans. You have to use something else.

And why you are quoting the whole post? What is the point?

pointermaps are used here to preserve some HDD space.

Also if you can not change a value, pointers won't help anyway. The same goes to muliplayer games.

AFAIK discussing multiplayer games is fine as long as you don't say the name of the game or anything else that could lead you to the game. Implying it is a unity-based game is vague enough for no one reading this to know what the game is, so this is fine (for now).

False Prophet:
Assuming mgr.inz.Player's solution doesn't work out for you for whatever reason, you might be able to do a code injection on it to copy the base address of the structure. Try the stealthedit plugin if the game has memory integrity checks.

But again, as mgr.inz.Player said, if you can't change the value in-game using the dynamically allocated address, finding pointers to it isn't going to help you.

I'm not trying to change values. I'm writing a bot, and I need to only read values.
