i figured out how to find the values i'm looking for and saved the address. but when i use quick save > quick load the address i saved no longer edits the value. i partially understand, the address/value is temporary cause it's in the memory.
what i don't understand is if the values have to be found every time you close the game, how are user created tables able to be shared and working for other users?

they either use pointers or code injection

i figured out how to use pointers. i must still be missing some information cause there is now something else i don't understand. i have located 2 pointers on a save file. when i close the game and open it back up they adjust the value as expected. but when i load a different save file, these pointers no longer work. why do these pointers work on one save file but not another?

can be many things.
e.g instead of being player 1, you're player 2, which has an offset somewhere 4 bytes further
or just dumb luck. Perhaps the state of the game represented a pointer which lead to what you where looking for, but isn't the case for the previous game.
That's why you should rescan the pointerpaths whenever possible (after windows restart, after reloading a game, after a new game, etc...)
