I found the ASM function in a game which spawns the memory addresses for where specific items are in the game on the floor.

When I use the "fin out what addresses this instruction accesses" I can see the memory addresses populating with the values I want.

Can anyone give me a brief description of how I can extract these addresses as they come so I can read the data into my program?

Thank you very much for any help with this.

You would setup an injection at this location.
You might create a separate listing inside memory.
As a new address comes in, you look for a blank spot in your custom memory to record it.
And at a later time, you may go through that list and do whatever you want.
Clean it up once in awhile, etc.
Or don't keep a separate list and simply immediately update whatever you want updated.

If you want everything done automatically, then you'll also need to find some instruction that's run when items despawn or are otherwise removed. Then, just allocate some memory (2kb is enough for 512 32-bit addresses or 256 64-bit addresses).

In that asm you found, make a code cave that loops through your memory to check to see if that address is already in your list. If it is, then just continue with program execution. If it's not and it reaches a null address (00000000), then add it to the list right there, and call some Lua function that adds it to your table.

When you find some instruction that's run when items are removed, then you can do the same process, except that you are removing and item from that list and calling a Lua function to clean up your table.
