Hello!
I am attempting to find the static pointer for a direction my character is facing within a game. The X coordinate i am looking for ranges from -1 to 1 with around 7 decimal points ex. -0.1545767. When plugging it into cheat engine and attempting to scan it seems to round up the number and gives me results that have a value of 0, and thus i am greeted with 1 billion results. Any idea how i can force CE to look for the exact value.

Thank you for your help.

0 is indeed a number between -1 and 1. Math demands that to be true- you can't change that.

If you want to scan for non-zero normal (i.e. non-subnormal) numbers, check the "simple values only" checkbox, do a first scan between -1 and 1, then do an exact value scan for "0.0000000000" with the "Not" checkbox checked.

Or you could use a custom value type that ignores zero and subnormal values (with some knowledge of assembly... or maybe {ccode}?).

more efficient is do an unknown initial value scan
cause an change and do a changed value scan
then scan for -1 to 1
