Hi there!

So, I got an address that keeps changing every time I act in-game.
I've tried multiple pointerscans in 12 level+ reducing the results to offset ends, etc, however not a single one was kept unchanged after perform this action in-game.

What would you guys recommend, do a pointerscan with very higher values or try some injecting to get a return of the newer value from the brand-new addr?
If scripting to get the new addr will be the way, I'd love some help to do that <3.

That 3697 is the newest value I added using the Code List, in the other hand, those 65535 are the old ones modified by act previously mentioned.

Thanks in advance!

Search for "injection copy"

You could try step 9 of the CE tutorial, or you could use an injection copy to get a (non-static) pointer to the value you want.
I'd try the latter first.

Try manual pointer scanning. You don't need a static pointer since you're going to use a code injection to find it, so don't worry about "green addresses" or stuff like that.
The instruction that accesses it uses `[rcx+1C]`, so subtract 0x1C from the address of your value and search for that address (type 8-byte). For every result that comes up, bring it down to the address list, see what instructions access that pointer, and play in the game for a little bit to let the game run code that accesses those addresses. For each instruction that comes up, see what addresses each instruction accesses (show in disassembler, right click menu). You're looking for some instruction that only accesses the address you want and is run frequently enough (code injections are only run when the game runs the original code).
If you do find a good injection point, do an injection copy in the same way. The memory record for the value will have 2 offsets instead of 1. e.g. if the instruction that accesses a pointer to the value uses `[rsi+44]`, the base address will be `ptrToPetPos` (or whatever you named the allocated memory) with offsets `44` and `1C` from the base.
If you can't find a good injection point, try repeating that recursively to another pointer level. (instead of a pointer to the value, find a pointer to a pointer to the value)

If the found pointers seem unreliable and/or you really dislike manual pointer scanning (I would after >1 level), you can try the pointer scanner. Make sure to deselect "base addresses must be static" or something to that effect, reduce the max level to 2 or 3, don't worry about generating multiple pointer maps, and don't restart the game between rescans. Rescan it frequently, but not in too different of game states. e.g. starting a new game or loading a save might involve reallocating memory at a pointer level beyond what you're scanning for, effectively invalidating all results of the pointer scan.

As for step 9 of the CE tutorial, you can look up a walkthrough of it online. It might be easier, but that's down to luck.

I've scanned all values that could have been accessed from the opcode structure to minimize the number of results and started from there. Later, I obtained what I needed using a specific type of "string filtering," which led me to the exact address I was looking for. I then performed the Injection Copy to jump if the string was not found or move to the register if it was found!

Thanks for all the help and patience, @ParkourPenguin! You're awesome.



ps.: is it possible to store the every newest value from the newest every pointer to some .txt, in order to use out of the AOB Injection scope?
I've been trying to use the label I've gotten from the injection copy, but isn't returning any value - saving the value in some .txt might do the trick.
