I have been working on the CE tutorial and I can't find out step 6 or 7(Seen 7, it was AA)

this is what ive got so far(Picture attached)

1) Found the current value
2) Find out what writes to this address
3) change value and get 1 address in new window
4) double click for more info

Where do I find the offset, and what else do I need to do? I'm a little confused when it says "If the assembler instruction doesnt have anything between a '[' and ']' then use another item in the list."

No clue what that means, no other items on my list and dunno what the offset is.
I have looked at all the other tuts on how to find pointers but this is just so confusing. Confused

[QUESTIONS]
What one is the assembler instruction?
Where do I find the offset?
I hex scan the offset found in the assembler instruction?
What does it mean "another item in the list"?
----

Maybe someone can tell me a little more about this in more detail please.
Step 6: Pointers: (PW=098712)

If I understand correctly...

1) find current value
2) find out what writes....
3) change value
4) 1 address pops into the window
5) more info
6) [---+08](08 being the offset)
7) The value of this pointer needed to find this address is probably
042e0c78
8 ) 042E0C78 IS the HEX value > No change just tick HEX[x]
9) get 1 value
10) get addy(06FCD2E8)
11) add address man.
12) Tick pointer [x]
13) 06FCD2E8 Offset 08

Restarted the game and pointer value is '??' meaning it didnt work. Confused

I saw a topic about finding a pointer of a pointer and I guess thats what I need to do with this game.

yes, all that is correct, but if you're doing the tutorial, there is no offset. but if you're doing a game and there is, then, you're on the right track.

after you scan for the hex value (the pointer) is the one value that comes up green (Static)? if not, it may be a multi-pointer setup, just a thought. (covered in the tutorial, step 8 )

what is the game your trying to work on..
if its a pointer on pointer then you need to do tutorial step 8..
when your searching for the hex if the result is green thats usually the final pointer.
