so i found te final green value after 3 offsets, i made a pointer with it and the value was correct. but when i restarted the game, the pointer can show me the value. it only shows " ??? "

what do i do ?

use modulename+offset notation for the green address. (doubleclick to add to the addrresslist and then copy the address from the addresslist)

or it's wrong. in that case whenever you did a scan for a address with address value, and more than 1 address was found, try a different address.

or, try the pointerscan.

try this as offset: (assuming you're on ce 6.6 where you can do this)

Does there happen to be a way to refer to one of the previous offset addresses as well?

only if you use a lua function for the previous offsets as well storing the address in a table which the last offset can then reference (probably easier to just do the whole calculation in lua)

wow i think it worked.

first, thanks for the help Dark Byte

in the change address it shows the right value, but in the table only shows " ????? "

And choose one of two update methods. Don't know which one is better. You have to try.

I too was unable to get it to show anything besides question marks.
The Change Address window looks correct, but the memory record doesn't work.
I attempted each update option and both, still question marks.
I'm just testing it out inside Calculator.

ah yes, during initial apply address is 0, which will cause ce to mark it as invalid (readInteger(0) returns nil, and nil*4 is a lua error)

do something like

Just remove that whole block, it's there to check that the script is robust enough to deal with all exceptional states (like writing code that multiplies by nil because of no error checking on their side)
