Cheat Engine

I'm quite new to cheat engine, I normally use IDA pro and a hex editor =) However, I don't want this cheat to be on all the time, so i'm not about to modify the file.

I believe you call this a pointer:
Core.DLL+409DD Code :dec [edi]

This is the code that takes currant ammo(stored in edi) and subtracts 1 on firing.

I cant simply nop this out, it crashes the program. And EDI is dynamic, I have yet to see it in the same place twice. How can I make a trainer to freeze the address located at edi?

I notice the trainer maker built in to CE says "hint: make use of pointers when the game uses dynamic memory allocation" so there has to be a way!

Core.DLL+409DD = static address, EDI = dynamic like you said.
Try changing the dec to inc
See if that still crashes the game.
dec means decrease by 1
inc is increase by 1

looks to me it's a decrease routine called by a script engine

it might be better to see if you can find a way to detect is the object being decreased is your ammo or not. Perhaps there's a specific class pointer/function table pointer you can use

Changing dec to inc forces a crash. It is indeed the ammo variable that I'm looking for, freezing it works well! Here is about all the information I can uncover about it. Searching for the address stored in edi returns 0 results, and I don't know enough about assembly language to see how it generates the address it stores in edi(which should be the solution to this problem).
