howdy fellas, newbie here, uuuh
im stuck at the tutorial and have no idea where to go from here lmao
I wanna learn how to get gud at using this, but I feel like going any deeper than "Scan for what you want to change based on changing values" is waaaay over my head o.o

Once you have found the value you're initially looking for you can right click it.
In the drop down list you get after right clicking there will be multiple options but towards the bottom there will be two you're looking for.
"What Accesses and What Writes" this address.

When you open this window it will show you any other addressees accessing or writing to your found address.
However you must go back into the game in question and do things (ie. change the value again) in order to make addresses do things.

All 4 of those are assembly instructions.
You're getting so many because you're checking what is accessing that address. There are multiple things checking and changing it.

You should check what writes to it in this case and you'll find only one address/instruction.

oh god, this is embarassing, the tutorial told me to check what accessed it, not what wrote to it,
i didn't even think to check the other one!
jesus, that might have just been the solution this entire time lmao

It doesn't matter. All 4 of those instructions say the same thing: the offset is 0.

DB made a good video series here that might help. Also see step 8.
