I'm trying to get text from an RPG game which displays lines in a window. The text is the usual "x hit y for z damage." Cheat Engine is able to find it using the Memory Viewer String Search or the plain text search. It finds addresses, but there isn't anything I can do with the addresses and the data often changes. I figured I would need a pointer which may point to a region of memory reserved for text which I could iterate through. I used the option to find out what writes to the address and did get a pointer, but it ends up not pointing to text. Perhaps I am reading the offset wrong, or maybe I made a wrong assumption that the text was stored that way anyway. I was wondering if anyone had gone about doing something like this and if there was any way I could get that text.
