when the progress bar is increased, is it i need to use the "incresed value" to scan the value? I've use it to scan, but finally, it stops scan, and always get the 70 something scan results.

Try adding them to your list and changing them to floats, if they dont 'make sense' in their 4-byte form.

If you highlight a set of values...
- while holding shift, double-click one of them, in the area that says "4-bytes".
-- Change them to Float, click Ok.

Think of how many values could increase or decrease, when you change a value like health. There are values for the gauge, both graphical and numeric, sometimes, multiples or copies of eachother, but usually, only 1 of them will effect your actual 'true' health.

You might lock one, and a 'graphical' representation locks, but your 'actual' health decreases and you can still die.

Once you lock the right one, however, all the rest should appear to lock as well, as they are usually generated from 1 base address / number.

Eventually, you get 'used' to what values look like, in their 4-byte representation. Floats, usually start with a 1 or 3, and are very long... i.e. 1122233123152. Or floats in their hex form. 0x003B4000 , etc.

70 is a bit high for 1 value, but surely possible. I'd guess that if you kept changing and scanning the health value, you'd widdle it down further.

In the case of 70 values...
- Highlight all 70 (click first entry, scroll to bottom, hold shift, click last entry)
- Click the arrow pointing down, near the bottom right of the found address list.
- Lock them in sets of 5-10 and try to change your health in game.
- If health locks, you either found the graphic, or the actual value.
- Unlock the previous 10, and lock the next 10, until done with the list / found actual health value.
- Once found, right-click and 'find out what writes to this address'
- Save any code(s) to your code list, that write to the value (sometimes , it's 1 constant code... Others, you want to leave that process running, as health is only written to , when you increase/decrease it by getting shot, or picking up a health pack, etc. Usually in this case, multiple pieces of code write to your health).

Don't do things like 'change maps' or 'restart the game' or 'connect to another game server because I suck until I get my inf health cheatz0rs', as the address will 'change' each time you load, most likely.
