Hi,

I have two memory addresses of a game ( Permanent pointers to both). What I want to do is to be able to make a script or something that -


1. Reads from address A

2. Does a simple arithmetic operation on the value A

3. Overwrites the value at address B with the result of arithmetic operation.

The idea is to be able to tie A and B together. 'something' read constantly from address A ( + arithematic on A) and keeps writing the value to address B. In case you should know it, A is the location of an object, and B is one of the pre-provided sliders relating to game-physics.

I have no prior programming experience, apart from writing hello world in at least ten languages . I have basically two questions and would like them to be answered separately.

A) Is there any easy way to achieve this in cheat engine itself?

B) Are there certain languages that are more suited to memory manipulation than others? If yes, then what language would you suggest to a newbie to be able to start making simple scripts to read and write memory as quickly and easily as possible?

I may come up with ingenious ways to do it. As an example of ingenious - I once found a value for Z acceleration. I couldn't reach the actual gravity value for it after trying hard . So I set up -0.1 with a hotkey to Z-accel in CE. Then I downloaded an auto-key-clicker. And I set it to clicking the hotkey again and again. This resulted in creating a high gravity situation.

Though I love these kinds of problem solving ways, I would like to have your advice so that I do not have to create my own methods everytime to do simple memory manipulations..

a script example for copying a value from address to another in assembler(if that's what you want).

mov eax,[Address1] <---the DWORD value of your address (which you see in CE's table)
add eax,5 <---Some math operation or what ever
mov [Address2],eax <---now store the copied value in the second address

as simple as that

So you mean there's a ratio between the values A and B, and that ratio you determine it by calculating your 'arithmetical operation' mentioned ??

and assuming you know how to calculate that operation, so, calculating it without using asm is your problem or what ?.

Use a simple compare to determine zone (by comparing zone values). Jump to zone. Include modifier at each zone to alter the value at address B.

Example; let's say zone 1 has a value between 150 and 170, zone 2 has a value between 130 and 149 etc. etc.:

GNIREENIGNE, great!

I understand the scheme here.

1. Would you explain the procedure to make the script active in game? Do I just go to auto-assembler and paste it there?

2.These addresses keep changing. How do I implement pointers into this script?

3. Will this script constantly keep reading from A and writing to B?


And, Value A is float and Value B is Byte..

Is there a manual included with cheat engine about all the syntax and functions you can use? ..

Once you have found your injection point in memory viewer, go to tools, and select auto assemble. A new window will open, click on template. Select cheat table framework code. Click on template again. Select code injection.

Once everything is set up, you can paste your code and edit/remove code as required.

Once you have found a reliable set of pointers, you can write it out like this:
