Hello,

So I watched a couple of videos of doing pointerscans and using the static pointers.

Everything works fine so far but I'm questioning myself if this is making sense.

So what I have now is for every cheat I got a static pointer and each cheat has its own pointer map where I got the static pointer from.

I think this is kinda redurant or isn't?

So I came to this theory:

What if I get only the base address of the player as a static pointer from one map and from there I add offsets for example health, then I use the same base pointer to get the shield from that player class.

Is this how I can make it better in theory?

Excuses if my question sounds a little dumb but I got to learn it somehow

Thanks!

yes I guess you've got the point, every game has a player structure that holds every stat of the player, so if you get the base address of that player structure, then you can retrieve all the other stats (like health , shield exp etc...) from there.
That's how cheats like aimbot works for example (it needs to do like a "for" cycle through each player structure to retrieve each XYZ position on the game map) because otherwise manually finding a different pointer for each player with pointerscan couldn't be possible

I recommended finding a MMO and searching for open source programs on it that “hack” it as then you can learn structs as you play the game and have a interest
