I'm in the process of creating a trainer for a game (GTA - VC), and I'm writing a script for infinite health (AA--I have the parser and whatever, that's not what I need).

However, I found the pointer to the health address, and the base address is

Yes, and to get the base entry (in native API) you would take a snapshot of the process (CreateToolhelp32Snapshot) and retrieve (Module32First, Module32Next) MODULEENTRY32.modBaseAddr

You can get the module's base address of the main module by calling System.Diagnostics.Process.MainModule.BaseAddress;
To see all the modules you can do
foreach (System.Diagnostics.ProcessModule pm in Process.Modules)
MessageBox.Show(pm.ToString());
But gta-vc.exe+xxxx is actually BaseAddress+xxxx or EntryPoint+xxxx? base address, right?

Thank you both. Yes, Symbol, process+xxxx = EntryPoint + xxxx.

The only problem is writing the addresses into the text file/adding to a list, it takes too much time... I'm scanning the whole memory reigon (lets say 0x00400000 to 0x0050000) and it returns all the bytes in less than a second, I can't think of a way to write them faster or adding them to the list faster...

If nothing else, we can be inefficient and do this:

I think storing the values in the array just takes so much time, because I add them to the list/file (now using only a file with the matched addresses) or its the fact its .NET Surprised

So it doesn't matters if you say "this one matchs, this one doesn't" I think adding to the list will take the same time, because comparing is like what, 10 bytes for my compares? (if ((exactscan && value == match) ^ (biggerthan && value >= match) ^ (smallerthan && value <= match) && etc...))

Nah, see, arrays are much faster than Lists for assigning.

MyArray[0] = i;

Where i is an int, and MyArray is an int[], one million times goes incredibly quickly (I don't remember the exact number, but I ran a test on it, you should search for it).

Why are they so much faster than lists in that aspects? Doing MyArray[0] = i; is just like doing myvar = i; Whereas with Lists, you have to allocate space every time you add something, then it has to go and let the List know that it has another variable, then it has to store it (this part doesn't take long, but you get the idea).

I just created a whole new scan so I have to finish it first, but I'll try making another scan only with exact value, 1 byte and see if it works.
