This is not a typical conditional breakpoint.

The address im placing a breakpoint on is being accessed and written on by many functions.

Im trying to locate a function that writes 5 to it in the middle of all the ticks.

For example my address is:

233FBDE8 with a value of 3.

Sometimes its 2, sometimes it becomes 1. And sometimes its 5 very rarely and very fast.

So there are 10's of functions that write 2 to it and sometimes maybe one of these ticks is 5. But it could be the other function that writes 1 to it.

So I need to break to locate the tick and function that writes 5 to it.

So basically i need to make a breakpoint on the address to detect when the address becomes 0x00000005.

Pls help

Set the breakpoint > right-click and select Set/Change break condition > here you can set your conditional breakpoint.

Although if you are talking about online games. Discussions about hacking online games is prohibited.

Its not for an online game. Its for a mod.

As i said in my post, its not a typical conditional breakpoint.

Because there are hundreds of ticks and addresses that are writting to the address im breaking.

So i need to only break if the address im putting a breakpoint on becomes a specific value.

Do i have to put 100 conditional breakpoint in 100 instructions that write to my address? Or there is another way?

You can abuse the breakpoint window a bit to get what you're looking for. May be a faster/easier way to do this but this is what I do / am used to doing.

1. Add the address to your address list. (ie. 233FBDE8)
2. Right-click > Browse This Memory Region on the address.
3. Select the value in the memory window hex editor.
4. Right-click > Data breakpoint > Break on write
5. Open the breakpoint window. (View > Breakpointlist from the Memory Viewer window.)
6. Right-click the breakpoint you just made and select 'Set/Change condition'
7. Tick the 'Easy' radio button.
8. Enter the basic Lua to do what you wish for the condition, in your case, this should work:

How did you find this address at all then, I mostly found such addresses in the stack during tracing.
After finding it, I tried to do as "atom0s" writes, but it never helped me, an endless cycle, I didn't have enough patience.

atom0s:
I meant that the address that LongBeardedLion writes about, in which the value is constantly and rapidly changing, can only be found by chance
when tracing or viewing a stack snapshot.
And I agree with you on how to set a conditional breakpoint.
Only if the address to which you need to put the breakpoint is on the stack, it has never helped me.
If I'm wrong, then correct me.

I communicate through a translator, which is probably why we don't understand each other.
Isn't this the instruction that " LongBeardedLion" is looking for, on which you propose to put a conditional breakpoint.

Thanks all.

Thanks atomos it worked perfectly
