So i've been trying to add pointers to a game. I found a value, scanned for a pointer, then I closed the game, reopened it, found the value again, rescanned the pointer with the new value and I had a final pointer to use. It worked in that game, but even if I save it, it resets to p->0000000 after I either close the game to retry it, or I close cheat engine and then reopen the table. Am I doing something wrong here? I followed multiple tutorials very closely and this is the result.

Any Help would be greatly apreciated. Thank you

What kind of Pointer did you find ?
How did you find it ?

It seems like the Pointer you've Found is not valid and changes its "position" in Memory, so you either need to find another Pointer, or if that is not possible, need to find a way to get the Value you need in some other way. Ie by hooking some function of the game.

Try more levels and/or a higher structsize
Also, never click stop during the scan

Just to be sure, you do attach cheat engine to the process? And do you wait at least 10 seconds for the address to update?
And the game has in fact started? (So not in the main menu of the game before loading the save/new game)

So after some research, i figured that i can't use pointers for this game. Is there another method I can use to not have to rescan for values everytime i reset the game?

Code injection , perhaps based on aobscans if it's jitted

But what makes you think a pointer wont work? As far as i know, the only reason pointers can't work on games is if they run in a browser ,emulator, are online games that get patched every 10 minutes, or you don't have enough cpu power diskspace or ram to do a pointerscan

I don't think they work because I did a pretty high strentgh scan and no good pointers were found. The game i'm trying to hack is also made in game maker and I think i saw somewhere that pointers wont work with game engines or interpreters like game maker
