yes,
you start the 'logger' by doing a 'unknown initial value' scan
then after a while do a 'changed value' scan and you get a log of all the addresses that got changed since you started it

I remember training old games, in which, for example, I didn't see the health bar. So my HP had to have a value, which I didn't know of. So, general logics tell you that you should search for an "unknown value" at first, play a bit, get hit, and search "has decreased". Normally, that would get you to the address and its value.

But nah, this game was tricky. Instead of decreasing HP when getting hit, it increased it. So, it kinda owns you at first, but once you figure it out, pleasure is sweet Smile

So you have 2 options :

[1] do 2 searches : one for unknown/increased, one for unknown/decreased

[2] as DB said, unknown, changed - which usually takes longer than [1]

Also dont forget, to narrow down your results allot.
Dont move the character and do a scan for has not changed.
This will ommit allot of finds you dont need.
Then go back to has changed after you move the character again.
