Hi

I´m newbe on cheat engine and I need help to find the adress of a timer value in a racing game. The timer is like this:

Best time: xx.xx.xx
Total time: xx.xx.xx ← (Changes continuously)

Minutes (00 - ...).Seconds (00 - 60).Hundreth seconds (00 - 99).

I`m trying to either change the best time or slow down the timer in the game (flash) without slowing down the race itself, which happens if i enable Speedhack...

What is the value type in this timer? Tried searching on exact value on float (e.g. 23,89 when "best time" is 00.23.89) and some few times I got just one adress at the first scan. When i tried to "find out what writes to this adress" and changed my best racing time, nothing showed up on the list.

When I got more than one adress on the first scan and tried a next scan on a better time, I got 0 results...

I´ve not completed the 6th step (about pointers) in the basic tutorial, because I got all these 4 adresses up instead of just one:

0045a66c - 8b 00 - mov eax,[eax]
0045a6c7 - 89 10 - mov [eax],edx
0045a6ce - 8b 00 - mov eax,[eax]
0045a6ed - 8b 00 - mov eax,[eax]

Don´t understand which "item" I must get from here... But learning this step is perhaps not necessary for my purpose...?

I didn't yet cheated on flash games but from my experience I can tell you that :
Time is not necessarily saved as a float value so those times you got something might be lucky hits.
You have to try with different sizes of bytes and double.

About the pointers, you got only 4 results, and that is still a good pick.
You should try them out.

You have to mulitply it by 8 if it's flash.

Ok, but which values should i search for in each type? If the timer values are stored as floating points, is it right to search for 24,89 or 00,24 when "best time" shows 00.24.89? When I try to search for 00,24,89, this scan error appears: "thread 0:00,24,89 is not a valid value."

Multiply what? Do you mean that the value type is 8 Bytes?

I've now tried searching on all value types (byte to double seperately) without success... Searched like this:

(Best time: ab.cd.ef)
Byte to 8 Byte: First on c, then on cd
Float and double: First on cd,ef, then on d,ef

However, I think something happend when I searched on 2 Bytes (on c): Two times I was left with only one adress on the list. I clicked "find out what writes to this adress" and then I changed my best time. Then two adresses showed up (one with eax i think and one with edx or something). I replaced with the eax and then the timer numbers in the game became a little rugged. But when I tried to change the value nothing happened... Once of those times the value changed to the same value in the game when i changed my best time...

The game is online. Do I select the right process to open when i choose iexplore.exe? Or should I instead choose FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe?

It is most probably stored as an Double (i think flash uses that instead of float)

Start with scanning for 0 (use Float/Double <- still not sure, so do both Razz ) and just scan for increased value (Or exact value if you can pause and still see the number)

And one more thing check the "extreme" box for a wider scan width with decimals.

Btw what game?
