So I am trying to read a specific register's values at a specific address.

I've hooked into the function and registered a symbol so i can view the data in memory.

is this the best way to do this, without attatching any debuggers.

Thanks.

Here is snippet frrom my script:

looks like you're copying from a structure pointed to by esi, not just a register. So, assuming it only has 1 value not say 1 for every enemy in the game, or you only care about the player's etc., you could probably just note down the address in esi and then open that in the data dissector (check tools in the memory viewer).

If it does change and you care about all of them then you could still use the data dissector by checking what addresses an instruction accesses (one that uses esi) and then you can select all of those addresses in the window and right click to open them in a data dissector window.

Oh, and it's the pop ebx that restores the pushed value, moving 0 into it would change the value to 0 regardless of what it was originally.

yea i changed it to 0 so that there is no overlapping information (if that would even happen, idk) i just thought it would be to make sure its safely removes all info im putting there, then pop ebx afterwards to restore the pushed value back to ebx.

but i understand what your saying about checking what accesses that instruction but that would attatch the debugger which i dont want to do. Also wouldnt dissecting the data also attatch the debugger?

Thanks.
