You might think I am dumb because of this question but I will still ask. . . .

a friend gave me his script and the instruction is:

It's some value which your friend found that is specific to the player.
Could be a player id, which is normally given the value 0.
He simply did some sniffing around the various address spaces.
He looked at the values when it was referencing the player versus something else.

More than likely, [edi+84] is being used somewhere before the health instruction and he found it that way. Even though your health address is being stored in the esi register, the other register values may hold a unique identifier. Most people just look at the register values and do not dissect any of the addresses, which is why he probably just found an opportunity in previous code to exploit.

Actually I think that [edi+84] is player and opponent ID because I edited the script and made it

Sigh. Of course it's being used as an ID - that is obvious. Whether or not the game uses it in that way is another matter.

Look at shared opcode tutorials on the forum. You will get a better understanding of finding and using filters.
If you do the last step on the cheat engine tutorial you will understand it better also.
