Cheat Engine

Hey everyone,

I am very new to Cheat Engine so I apologise if this is a super simple question.

I am using Cheat Engine to get values from a game (Dark Souls 3 specifically). I would like to access these values from a C++ application I am making. Is there a way I can access these values from Cheat Engine directly or have them printed from Cheat Engine to another program or even just a txt file to be constantly changed and read?

Thank you for your time!

IMO you'd be better off replicating whatever CE does in your C++ application. It shouldn't be terribly hard if it's just a few AA scripts (and if you know what they do).

Regardless, here's some links I found in a few seconds through Google:

Fair, I had a look into the links you gave me and had a think about how I'd do it and you are definitely right. I shall have a look into the Cheat Engine source code to find how it can access the memory of an open application (I guess it runs as a debugger of some sort).

Any other advice on the subject would be thoroughly appreciated though!

Thank you for your response.

You may need to use VirtualProtectEx as well.
Google anything to find tutorials and examples.
