What is the difference
"Find out what writes to this adress"
and
"Find out what accesses to this adress"

Addresses can be read from and written to.
"Find out what writes to this address" logs the code that writes to that address i.e. changes its value.
"Find out what accesses this address" logs also code that only reads that address.

For example, take address 0040a3b0.

Code:
mov eax, [40a3b0]

would read its value and store it in eax. This code would be logged by "Find out what accesses this address".

---

Code:
mov [40a3b0],eax

writes to that address the new value. This counts as "write" and "access", so it's logged by both.


Little trivia: IIRC, earlier versions of CE used to have another option, "Find out what reads from this address", but I guess it's been taken out.

You'll know it :p

If you find the address storing health, you'll probably want to know what writes to it, to see what code applies changes, how and why.

If you find a byte, for example something like "isVisible", you'll want to know both what changes it (for the above reasons) AND what reads it, so you'll know what's the difference between it being set or not.

..as regards simple addresses. When it comes down to pointers, you can use the first one to climb up the pointer path and the second one to see what offsets are used with that pointer.

You compile it and then load it into CE, but you don't need to... use wpe pro.
