Cheat Engine

So, I'm working on a table for a game where aob's aren't really reliable, so I'm using pointers. The only problem is whenever this game get's a new patch, it breaks the pointers and I have to find them all over again. So, my thought is, to set it up so I only have to find a single pointer, then offset that pointer to get to my other memory addresses. To do that, I'd need some way of referencing it.

For example, I have this cheat that creates "_coords" which I can then reference to populate my memory addresses, but it's an aob, not a pointer:

you can replace "Game.exe"+02f1af20 with the pointerbase (e.g _coords)
Perhaps you need to add one more offset to the bottom with value 0 in case _coords contains the address where the base is stored instead of the address itself

I'm thinking I need to convert my pointer (the one pointer I'll have to re-find if game is patched) into asm and give it a name, then I can reference it in a regular cheat like my coords (only used as example of how I've used name referenced with aob's, but want to do it with a pointer in the same way if possible). Aob will not work in this case. A pointer will give me a valid address in the area of interest. Just need a single pointer to get me there, then I can offshoot that on my own without the need for more pointers.

So, here's the order of my thinking:
1. Find my one and only pointer, convert it into an asm script with a name I can reference
2. Create a new cheat (non-pointer) and reference named pointer like "namedpointer+ offset"
3. Done.

The part I don't know how to do is to convert a pointer into an asm script and give it a name for referencing.

I may not be articulating well and I'm sorry for that! lol
