Hello guys, I'm having some difficulty with Cheat Engine 6.2.. I got through all the tutorial's steps till step 8. That's because in the search for the final static pointer, I got startled with this line of code:

It's not necessary to see that register value
You know what mov esi,[esi] reads, so just use the offset (+000)

How do I know what it reads, if I don't know its address BEFORE it is set? Here's the sequence of actions I did:

On the search for the address "A" which changes the 'value', i found this line of code:

You did find what accesses address B and found mov esi,[esi]

So you know that mov esi,[esi] accesses address B
That means that esi = address B
Mov esi,[addressB+000]

So look for a 4 byte value that contains address B

@Cheat1234
Did you try break&trace?

Thanks Dark Byte o/. I see what you mean. Got to the end of step 8 =]

Thanks again \o/

[EDIT:]
Didn't try that Csimbi.. Actually I'm pretty following the cheatengine's tutorial, and am not quite sure what you mean by "break&trace" XD >.<
But I'd be glad to learn XDDD =P

Right click the instruction you want, and click break&trace.
Make sure it is executed at least one, and wait until CE does the trace.
Then, you can observe the registers one by one, instruction by instruction.
