Ok so i've found a pointer to my character, now i want to add more addresses from it, like i know that pointeraddress+F0 is my 1st skill cooldown.
How do i do that?
At the end i want to make other addresses children and just use a hotkey to change values to all of them

With script or without script?

With script...paste your script.

Without script...simply copy the first pointer and paste it back in to your cheat table. Now, double-click on the newly-added pointer and change the last (upper) offset to be whatever you want. Once you are finished, you can drag the second pointer over the first pointer so that it is listed as a child entry under that pointer. Once that is done, right-click on the parent pointer and 'set/change hotkeys'. Once you have a hotkey set up, right-click on the parent pointer and select config at the bottom. Toggle 'setting a value to this entry sets same value to children'.

Adding another offset may or may not be required, but your initial post was not clear.

Also, I recommend using a script. Mr. Green

It should not activate slower unless you are using AOB, but even that is not always the case. Sometimes, x64 is slower, too, but not always.

Anyways, using a script is better because it is more reliable. A script gives you more control, allowing you to write much better cheats. A script also has advantages over pointers in the event that the target process is different between users (and/or) in the event that the target process is updated or patched due to better AOB scanning. A script also helps in the event that any 'repairs' have to be made when the code breaks due to an update etc.

By the way, you can combine scripts. In fact, you can combine all of your scripts in to one script and set the same hotkey, just as you would with pointers.

There are different ways to do it. If you know the base of the structure, you can use that. Otherwise, you can use one of your addresses and attach the debugger to see which instructions access your address. From there, you can create a script to inject code at one of the instructions (preferably something that is accessing your address several times per second, and, is ONLY accessing that address and no other addresses). After that, you simply move the register that is handling your targeted address in to a custom address. With this example:

Kinda hard to understand but ill try that.
Also mov word ptr [esi+09],0101 tells all the mobs and the player that cooldown is over (00 00 on cooldown, 01 01 off cooldown), maybe its possible to change it so i dont even have to use pointers?
Right now i nop it so that other mobs always have 00 00(always on cooldown) and change it to 01 01 for my skills.

Yes, with a script, you can do most all things.

For cool down example, simply add the address that controls your cool down time to your cheat table, and right-click on it to see which instructions access it. In the debugger window, you should see at least 1 instruction. You can use one of the instructions for your injection point. If you are not sure about how to proceed from this point, start with the CE tutorial and work through the steps. Follow guides on this forum or on youtube to expedite things. Post any questions that you may have.

Well its kinda the same as 'what writes to this address' only a few more cmp
As you know im already using mov word ptr [esi+09],0101 for injection, but i might change it to cmp just because it works a bit faster, also all those cmp change stuff for all the mobs/player

Yes, 'find out what writes' will only give you instructions that write to your targeted address. By using 'find out what accesses', we can get ALL instructions...not just those that write to your targeted address, but also those that read your targeted address.

We use these instructions for different reasons. One reason (as you say), they are much faster. We can update our health (or whatever) instantly, without having to wait until we pick up more health (i.e. without having to wait until our targeted address gets written to again). It is also good because, as you noticed, we have more instructions to work with. This can come in handy when we need manipulate ALL health values (player and enemy), or, when we need to ONLY manipulate player health value (health is just an example).

Anyway, in this case, you could probably use the first instruction. So, stop the debugger, and with the first instruction highlighted, click on 'show disassembler'. From here (in memory viewer), with the instruction highlighted, select 'tools' from the drop-down menu and click on 'auto assemble'. In the auto assemble window, select 'template' from the drop-down menu, and click on 'cheat table framework code'. Select 'template' again, and click on 'code injection'. Click 'okay'.

Now, you can manipulate your script as you like and add it to your cheat table. Select 'file' from the drop-down menu, and click on 'assign to current cheat table'.

If you need help with your script, just copy it all and paste it here.

Im trying to make a fly hack in Eldritch game by changing coordinates, i've found a pointer to my coordinates.
When i look what accesses it i get a lot of these :

Also if i go to my pointer address all i can see is this :

I've never used these weird 'cli' 'xchg', so i cant really understand what they do, also i dont really understand this dword thing, i know it loads float value or something, but where from,how and why. And how do i add it to my script.

Also i looked at your script, cant understand much, maybe because its a different game. you put esi into [value] to know where edx is going or?

Thanks, i think i got it, but the address i added only updates when i move, still works though, so as you said i guess im gonna have to find one that updates it every sec.
Also is there a way to make a hotkey that would increase my coordinates by +1 if i hold a button? right now i have to press it all the time :d
Edit: nvm i think i can hold it and coords still change
Edit2: Is there a way to set hotkey delay only for those addresses? i know you can set delay in settings but i think its for all the hotkeys right?
