Cheat Engine

[Ferdilanz]

Hee-yowdy folks. I've been busy making a table for the Road to Vostok Demo on Steam. I've been able to scan for pointers for normal stats and such, but the bottomless magazine cheat I've been working on isn't going well. The pointer scanner can't find a pointer no matter how many pointermaps I throw at it.
I read somewhere that perhaps the value for the number of rounds in the magazine is not stored in an address, but rather in a register, like rax or rsi. I know a little of what I need to be doing since I've been doing this for over a decade, but I've never been good at autoassembly. Always get crashes or unintended effects. I usually inject at the "Write" instruction and try NOPing or MOVing [rcx+08],64 and then Writing but this causes really bad glitching that I can't even begin to describe; also with trying to modify rax and [rax] since that register is involved as well.
My question is, where should I inject in the picrelated? Should I just go with the write instruction like I normally would? And then, what's my most robust method for injection? Full injection, AOB injection? But finally, how am I going to force the magazine capacity to 100?
In the picrelated's Write instruction, rcx is the "value of the address required to find the pointer" if that helps.
One last thing, yes, I've tried looking for the pointer manually. The game (Godot engine) refuses to change the pointer while I have a debugger looking at it. 3 debuggers causes a CTD, by the way.

Right click on that instruction `mov [rcx+08],rax` in the disassembler, select "Find out what addresses this instruction accesses", and play the game for a few seconds. You'll probably find that it accesses tons of addresses.

I've never looked into this much, but it's my understanding that games made with the godot engine run by interpreting GDScript code. Approaching such a game from assembly is a bad idea: you'd be modifying the interpreter, not the game.

There are other tools out there that are better suited to this- e.g. decompilers that specifically target games made with the godot engine.
