I am unsure the exact rules regarding online games and couldn't find anything but I seem to remember that saying the game name is not allowed. So I will not say what I don't have to.

So I am wanting to make a program that reminds me when something is off cooldown that prevents me from losing an item upon death in a certain game. I was able to find the value and pointer of the cooldown on a character. The next obvious test was to see if it would pop up on another character. It did not work on another character. What at this point could I do to make it work for multiple characters? Should I redo my pointer scan and switch between the two characters and see if they have a related pointer? Any advice would be helpful. If it's allowed and someone asks I am willing to give more info including the game name. Thanks Very Happy

check what instruction writes to your pointer/value, the probable thing is that the instruction itself writes this value to all characters using different offsets

No, you shouldn't mention the game's name.

Doing that with the pointerscanner could help, but it also might not result in any pointers that are consistent between game restarts. If that's the case, then injecting some memory that will copy the address of the current character would probably work, depending on what instructions access the address.

Check what instructions write to the address of your value (not the address of the pointer, but the address pointed at by the pointer). Then, play around in the game a bit, and see what instructions pop up, when they pop up, and how often they pop up. If you can't find any good instructions that write to it, try searching more generally for instructions that access it, following the same steps.

Starting at the most commonly run instructions, click on "show disassembler", right click on that instruction in the disassembler, and select "Find out what addresses this instruction accesses". Test it in game (e.g. switch characters or something), and if it accesses the new character, then you can do an AoB injection on that instruction and do whatever you want with it.

I don't think you understand what an AoB injection is.

The difference between an AoB injection and a code injection is that a code injection uses a constant address as a location to override code for a jump to your newly allocated memory. An AoB injection scans for that code using a signature, so that it can replace it with a jump to your memory. The signature is a part of the AoB scan.

If you mean to use a signature to find whatever structure that address is a part of, then I really wouldn't rely on that if I were you, since most of the values could change randomly. That would be harder than finding a good pointer to the address.

Regardless, If you're sure that all the instructions that access that address access other addresses, then there isn't much that you can do with those instructions directly. You can try finding what instructions access a pointer to that address (doesn't have to be a static pointer), and do an AoB injection on one of those that'll traverse the pointer path and copy the end address.

Just play with the last offset of the pointer. There is a chance you will find other options. This works for many strategy games. Or you can use the offset of the pointer until you reach the adres of the other character. It's going to save you a lot of time!

Just an example of what I mean.

Lets say the value is stored in: 02C45560

And this is the pointer:

Huh, but you said that you already found a pointer. So if it works you could change the offsets and might get the cooldown of the second character.

Else you have to scan for the second one like you did with the first one.
