I am having problems with a pointer. i open my game and scan for my credit/money in game, i find the value (i know its the correct one, when i change it the value in game changes). so i right click on the value and go to find out what writes to this address. it comes up with the following
Code:
fstp dword ptr [ecx+08]
store single
the value of the pointer ineeded to find this address is probably 3e271518

so i go and do a byte hex scan for 3e271518, it comes up with like 7 green addresses. create a pointer for each one, with the green address as the base, and offset of 8. but none the pointers = the value of my credit so i think i am doing something wrong, could someone help me out?

P.S
I am trying not to use the point scanner method because i think you should know how to do it manually before you use tools to make it easier.

you need to find out what code accesses this address !
watch the count, it has to be like 1 and not continuously changing.

tried that as well, it only came up with 1 think the so wasn't hard, but doing the pointer, it still fails to point properly.. i took the green address (was like above only 1 point away with a offset of c1), so pointer using the address of the green static address + offset of c1.

Try using pointerscan. I sometimes find myself stuck with manual searching even though i checked all addresses and pointerscan finds them, many times with completely different set of offsets.

the whole point of posting asking for help was to not use the pointscanner.

i don't know for sure
but maybe the address of you money in float or double
and he pointer you add is for 4byte
try changing the type of your pointer to the same type of the address

it happens to me some time
