Hello all,

I was wondering what is the best way to trigger an event in my c# trainer when a specific instruction is executed on my target process?

As of now I am injecting code in my target process that writes a specific register to a specified address in memory. My trainer then reads that specific address in memory at a very fast rate, and when the value matches a condition, I fire an event in my trainer.

The above would be a "polling" approach. I want more of a "push" approach. When my target process reaches my injected code, I want it to fire an event in my trainer, and then proceed. Kind of like a debugging breakpoint, but I don't want the process to pause. Maybe I just answered my own question... Can I programmatically set a breakpoint on the target process, which fires some even in my trainer, then remove the breakpoint and continue the with my c# trainer? But without pausing?

I'm kinda new at this. What options do I have other than polling memory?

Thanks for your wisdom.

A breakpoint would be the way to go. Since you aren't using DLL injection.

The thread that is executing the instruction will still stop, but since it won't be waiting for user input this will happen very fast, and you won't notice it.
