I'm trying to find out how you can reduce the amount of time left on a timer in a game. I'm not sure if I've allocated the right memory address but I don't know what to do to reduce the time left after I allocate the memory address for the timer function.

Not sure what you mean by allocating a memory address.
The game allocates the memory, you just find the address.
Then you hook into the game code accessing that address to set it how you like.
Or you find a pointer to that address and manually change the value when needed.

Simply changing the value at the address you found should change it in game.
If it doesn't, then you found the wrong address.

For a timer showing 22:15:30, I would search for a float between 80129 and 80131.
(22 * 60 + 15) * 60 + 30 = 80130
It may also be stored in milliseconds, so try between 80129000 and 80131000.

The game could also store the value as elapsed time, in which case you're looking for a number that increases from zero.

There are several ways to know whether you find the right address or not. One of them is to freeze the address and observe. If you find the right one, you will see the time in your game doesn't change anymore.
