Cheat Engine

Right-click and find out what accesses that address.
Trace the code through the various things that access it.
If you're lucky, each will have its own instruction.
However, chances are the game has a single function that gets the value and returns it to other functions.
So you might need to trace the code back through several calls to find the one you desire.

Yeah like Zanzer said, BP that and do it like he said. That is one way though, the easy way is to simply debug the area around that instruction and if you are lucky, you may find some sort of identifier that is used for each specific cheat, it can be a number, some ascii or pointer to ascii text usually in one of the registers. You should get a clear picture of what the values in the registers contain and what they mean after noting the values each time for a different cheat and can make a comparison that way.

You can also analyze the structure around your cheat address and notice some sort of garbled text that is unique, there ALMOST ALWAYS is when it comes to cheats (the modified cod engine comes to mind) and you can easily exploit that. Use the data structure CE function for this.

So does a pointer calculate the ASCII or number pointing to either an array of bytes or a string? I very clearly don't understand pointers but since you are talking about them I might as well learn from the masters here.... The fact I can virtually go offline the internet and know how to encrypt data but can't program unless its maybe java I feel like a total idiot. Laughing

off topic:

what is the difference between this hash below compared to other standard hashs like MD5 etc... also how does one use cheat engine to search for hashes?

Example:

VEHICLE::SET_VEHICLE_GRAVITY

Hash: 0x07B2A6DC
void SET_VEHICLE_GRAVITY(Vehicle Vehicle, BOOL Toggle) // 0x07B2A6D
