i have a very basic knowledge in memory editing so sorry if its a stupid question.

so, when u want to change something in an application (a game mostly), u edit its address in the memory.
but when i exit the game and re join it, the address (of the money for example) change and i need to search for it again. can i do something to prevent that change? (thats how trainers function, i guess)

well, i found this one and i got lost after the code since i dont know what EAX, etc means.

anyways, if i have an address, how do i find its pointer?

You will need to learn how to use assembly.

okay, ill deal with it later. but just a small question:
i found the address of "money", selected "find out wat acceses...". then i descreased my money in game and few things poped up. i double clicked the first thing and it said "The value of the pointer need to find this address is xxxxxxx"

so i scanned this value and i got 6 things. how can i know which one of them is the pointer?

edit: nevermind. i just picked up the first one and it worked (i guess it work with each one of the 6). now i dont have to search for the address everytime. cool. Wink

but now im wondering, how i make a trainer that contains this pointer?

If you got a working pointer you can just add it to your trainer like a normal address (Rather intuitive actually)

Actually, darkbyte added a pointerscanner, so u just have to right click your address of money(not pointer) and choose the pointer scanner, once its done you will get few results, just add them all to the table, and restart the game, then choose the pointer that shows your money and delete the rest

i dont know if there are any tuts on this cause its fairly simple
