Cheat Engine

[hashtag]

This is mainly for step 6 of the cheat engine tutorial.

I can find the value and what writes to the value. What I don't understand is why we would search for the memory address of edx instead of just adding edx as a pointer.

mov [edx], eax

is the command. I know that we are trying to change eax but I just don't understand it. Can anyone help me out?

Because next time you run the tutorial edx will contain a different address and you need to find out how EDX gets it's value

also, you can read this as mov [edx+00000000],eax

thank you Dark Byte,

I made it past step 6 in the tutorial. I don't understand how step 8's multi level pointers work now.

From what I understand we are trying to find a pointer > pointer > pointer > pointer > health value.

I am able to find the first pointer but when I try to find what writes to the first pointer nothing pops up, how can I find what writes to the pointer? when I try to find what writes to the value that the pointer points to it brings me back to the first pointer's conclusion.

Please correct my logic if I am wrong, I don't think that I would need to change the pointer yet because it would change the first pointer and put me back to square one. I just need to find what is writing to the pointer that I am trying to find.

I have been messing around with it for about a hour and can't seem to get it.

find what access, not writes
