In a game I have been playing there are some characters which have crosshairs that expand when shooting, even if the weapon they are using is still firing reasonably accurately. In an effeort to fix this, I found the float values that determine the location of the crosshairs onscreen, and locking them and/or changing them produces the exact effects I desire. The issue is that there are only two addresses that access them overall, and both also determine many other things as well, meaning disabling them messes with the game in other ways, such as removing the spacing between the UI buttons and icons. What I want to know is, is it possible to make a code injection that acts like the original code UNLESS it comes across some specific addresses?

for sure you can use any injection method.
and yeah find something different between the two addresses.

then use a compare to throw out the address you desire or whatever you wanna do.

There will be a value somewhere that tells the UI update code how far to send the crosshair on shoot. This is what you'll have to find with breakpoints.

You can set conditional breakpoints by right clicking on a breakpoint and clicking "set break condition". Then you can step through and see what's going on with memory
