Hey guys, netsec consultant trying to get into low level, decided to start learning while hacking old games.

So basically, after reading a lot of posts and following tutorials, I managed to create a few trainers, do a couple fun stuff. But here is my problem, I wanted to do a basic Trainer that pressed a hotkey every time my current HP was below a certain threshold. I can't seem to find the current HP address, already tried all different sorts of scan, what am I doing wrong? I was able to find maxhp, and everything else I tried, but not current hp.

The game I am trying to hack is an old mmorpg

sometimes health is stored as total damage taken

And in case of an mmorpg, have you tried scanning for text ?

I did scan for missing health as well, could not find it. But it did not occur to me to scan for text...once I did, i found a lot of addresses pointing to strings like "currentHp", "present hit points", etc. Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial showing how can I search for the HP value from the strings?
