Cheat Engine

Ok, so I am at work right now and I cannot remember the exact details, but I do not think it is necessary to get some guidance on this.

I am trying to find the static address and when finding out what accesses the 2nd pointer I get this code:
mov eax, [eax*4+OFF] (OFF=Offset as I dont remember the exact value)

I have tried searching for the address that holds the value of eax. Then I tried adding that address to the pointer chain with and without the given offset and that did not work.

I have tried searching for the address that holds the value of eax*. Then I tried adding that address to the pointer chain with and without with given offset, neither of which worked.

*EDIT: Ok, I really should be working but I cannot stop thinking about this. Adding my new thoughts as an edit instead of new post as there are no posts yet.

If my understanding of ASM is correct(unlikely as I dont know much) then the command:
mov eax, [eax*4+OFF] is copying the memory address [eax*4+OFF] into the register eax as a value, correct? Cheat Engine gives the value of the registers after the code is run so the value that I am getting for eax is not the same as the eax in brackets up top?
If that is the case then to get the value of eax before the code is run I can do it via

neweax = oldeax*4 + OFF
neweax-OFF = oldeax*4
(neweax-off)/4 = oldeax

Then the value that I would search for would be the old eax value? or old eax*4? see.. now I am confused again

Please give the full instruction.
I do not believe OFF is an actual offset, because that'd mean you don't need a pointer since you're already on a static address

eax*4+off=addressyouscannedfor
eax*4=addressyouscannedfor-off
eax=(addressyouscannedfor-off / 4)

ohh.. this could be. Thanks for the reply. I will check when I get home this evening. I am going to do a massive facepalm if it turns that I my second pointer had already made it to a static address and I just didn't realize it.

Well, regardless ill post the full code when I get home from work.

Well, as would be expected it turns out that you are indeed correct.

The code was: mov eax,[eax*4+00900f50]

I am guessing that 00900f50 is not an offset?

The reason why I thought that there may be another pointer after this is that when I restarted the program the address would be different and no longer point to the address that I wanted. However, last night in my tiredness I did not try to other addresses that were also green in my search. It turns out that there are two static addresses that point to the info that I want and now everything is working great. Thanks!
