Special thanks to Chase Payne for posting video that was really helpful.

So Base pointer is 00A99474 and offsets are: 18;4;44;19C

That's my first pointer I found (see I learned something).

But I would just like to ask about offsets. Does it mean that I have some structure or array?

I mean if 19C points to life, does it worth looking at other offsets as well?? like should I try 19B .. 0 ? Or is it improbable?

[Dark Byte]

yes, it's certainly worth looking there
for example 1a0 might contain the maximum value of health

and 198 might contain something else near health

[rain-13]

ok thanks, but does other offsets also worth looking? Or are they about other things then player?

Does those 4 offsets mean that i have something like following?

[Dark Byte]

often yes, but is can also be an array (which is actually also a struct if you think about it, just a struct with all the same size and type elements)


it depends on the pointer if it's used for other stuff
e.g the pointerpath you found might be:
game struct->map struct->controller struct->player struct

that's good. Now I just need to way to dump it. Is there any way to tell if address is pointer? I could then just do endless loop that reads next address until address has value instead of pointer. but only thing is that how do I understand if extremely large number is coordinate or pointer to new address.
