Cheat Engine

My experience with Cheat Engine so far has amounted to "search for value, change value in-game, search for new value, change value in cheat engine, hold party", however, I am now looking to read some memory adresses with an AutoHotKey script, and therefore I need to learn how to find the correct pointers.

I have watched numerous tutorials, but none seem to address the issue that I have.
If someone would walk me through this one, I would be very grateful.
It basically amounts to the first address I find already being green, which I understand means that the adress is static.
However, when I then restart my PC, the address changes, but remains green, which I don't quite follow, as I thought it was static before...

This might be a SUPER n00b-issue, but I'm sort of at the end of my rope here, and coming up with nothing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When you doubleclick a green address into your addresslist it will be static (static as in it will be at the same distance from the start of the gamemodule as last time)

If you save your table like that, and then restart the game and reopen the table, you will see that CE has adjusted the address for you, and very likely pointing to the correct address.

You can see how it works by doubleclicking the address in the addresslist (bottom) and you'll see it will have a notation like : blabla.xxx+xx10e4 instead of the full hexadecimal address

in your game you don't need a pointer. just modulename+offset. ce will fix it for you automatically

in another game you could try the pointerscan or debugging to find the pointer path taken
