i scanned an address (let's say)

0C4D09AC
it has the following :
mov eax, [ecx+eax*4]

ECX = 0C4D09A8

so i scanned that ECX value and it's address is:

13300814
it has following :
mov ecx, [ecx+0C]

my problem that value actually accesses value of ecx (0C4D9A8), so there is no way i use it as a pointer, since when i add :

1Level Pointer :
4 offset (i assume this from eax*4)

2Level Pointer :
13300814 offset C (i assume this from 0C)

the pointer doesn't work, it points some value i don't recognize, ofc i tried this one too and it works :

1Level Pointer :
13300814 offset 4 (eax*4)

and ofc that pointer doesn't work on game restart. can anyone help me?

if needed, the game is Warcraft 3 : Frozen THrone and i tried hacking it in LAN playing alone.

try pointerscan
right click the address in the table -> pointerscan for this address
don't change anything -> ok
restart the game
open pointer scanner -> open saved *.pt0
rescan addresses ... and so on

the address that holds the value of health ... if you're trying to find the pointer that always point to the address of heath ...

remember that the registers shown are AFTER the instruction is executed

You did a "find what accesses" on address 13300814
and you found that the instruction

^i did feel something like this too, but i just don't know how to correctly convert C from hex to decimal Sad

and yes you can say i'm dumb again, i've tried using hex converter from calculator and still doesn't really get it at all... is it just check Hex, then type C, then check decimal?

and also i think i have to use pointer scanner after all, the other try i found address other than 13300814 that also has ECX+0C , that means that isn't the static pointer right?

using the calculator: Set to hex. Type in address-0c click '=' and you'll have the result. No need to convert to decimal. (no need to use decimal ever)

it's only static when the address is green (and you're not using win vista 64 since ce doesn't show colors there)

in win xp x86 x32

view -> scientific
just tick hex -> type in hex number -> tick dec
