Hi. I'm still new to Cheat Engine and trying to use it to make a pointer that will let me edit HP and MP values in a game that are Floats. Every character has their own pointer I guess because I wasn't able to set only one, and when you start a new stage you have to re-find the address for HP and MP.

I managed to make one following this tutorial that works flawlessly. I can close the game and restart and it still works, and it works on different stages.


Unfortunately when I moved on to another character I got 0 results from my scan. I tried with two other character and only the first character I tried seems to actually work.


I can find the correct address and edit them with no problem but I don't want to do it every time I change characters or start a new stage. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Including just telling me if there is a better method than doing a pointer scan (with a tutorial please I'm still really bad with CE)

EDIT: Looks like I can't post a link to the guide I followed. I googled cheat engine pointer scan and clicked the link that said: [Tutorial] Cheat Engine - Finding Base Address w/ Pointer Scan

I'm not sure how to show the screenshots I took since my imgur links aren't allowed.

make sure that the folder you put the pointerfiles in has no non-ascii characters

It's the same folder I used when I made the first pointer so it should work right? I literally made the first pointer for a character, then changed characters and got 0 results.

I can still try though. Would just making a brand new folder like on the desktop for example be sufficient to make sure that isn't the problem?

a folder like c:\ptr is usually better than the desktop as that has your username in the path anyhow another reason for 0 results is if level or max offset(structsize) is set too low. (or if it's running in an emulator like a browser)

Sorry for the late reply. I switched over to a C: folder and it actually did run a scan, but I just tried another scan today and it's back to 0 results. I don't really understand what I could be doing inbetween days to make it stop working randomly.

I'll try the offset thing but I don't really know what to set it for since I don't actually understand what all the stuff means lol.

I'll try to just double the values for now and see if it helps. I figure I should also mention it isn't an emulator, but it's a Unity game.

edit: woah doubling both values has seriously increased scan time. Hopefully it works.

edit2: Oh yeah. Both of the characters pointers lead to this part - "UnityPlayer.dll"+01441BC8

Could I somehow use that information to find my results faster?

edit3: OK I just really have no idea how this thing works at all.

I was able to find the HP value and make it work after restarts and everything, but when I tried to find the MP for the same character, using the same folders and scan settings as for HP, I now get 0 results **again**.
I just don't understand why that would be happening.

ah it's unity(a .net emulator), in that case minimum level must be 10 and even then no guarantee
Try making use of the mono features instead

Hey guys,

donīt want to open a new thread.

Si I try to find out pointers in several levels but seems that it is impossible.

I search a changed value, ok found out, Than find a pointer and try to follow, always 0 result.

The game is hackable this I now because a lot of people can do it with nox and CE

Nox Player
Cheat Engine
The walking Dead Road to survival (Try to hack)

So any hints my dearest member? I am really sick about it and dissapointed.

Someone told me maybe the signature, could be?

Emulator is NOX Player 6.2.8.1

Or what u mean Smile

Is better to install CE on NOX Emulator? Cause at time I take the CE and use the NOX Memory at all.

Addresses specifiers CE reads in nox need to be converted from virtual address in windows, to physical address in the emulated system to virtual address in the context of the linux process owning that physical address

ce's pointerscanner doesn't do that for you

ceserver might be better

Thanks for information but now I stack.

I am unable to install server, so is the problem 10 inch before the monitor? Yes I think so.

I will try to catch the error.
