Coming straight to the point, I have an option named Toggle AI and I can bind any key to it and it toggles it on effectively forcing the AI to control my player without any inputs from my side. The problem here is that the AI mode is bugged so if I need to get out of AI mode I need to leave the game entirely(the whole game process) and then I am back to default.

Here arises a challenge I am not sure if it's a boolean value or something else which it uses to compare or toggle it on or off (I guess it will make much sense if it's a boolean?) and I can only toggle it on once after that I need to exit the game which makes it harder to figure out which address exactly deals with turning the AI mode on apart from pressing a keybind.

Is there any way to go about so? If so how could I? If the current information isn't enough yet please let me know in the comments I'll surely explain it a bit more in-depth.

It really depends. Could be different from game to game...

If it is a setting, most likely there is a boolean value, or something like that. I would start trying to search for changed and unchanged 4 bytes and see if you can narrow it down to few addresses. If don't, try 2 bytes.

Also pay attention to green addresses too, most of the times they hold the settings variables.

Keep in mind that if you manage to find the correct value, the game logic could check on that address only when you open or close a certain menu or something like that, so you would have to do a bit of debugging too.

Not sure if anyone could help me out this far but I decided to take a look in Ghidra but I'm still not well versed enough to understand what's happening and how can I manipulate it to get the results I desire.

At first glance, it looks like its doing an if statement to check if param_1 is not equal to L'\0' and if it's not uVar1 gets assigned 0xffffffffffffffff after that it seems to add uVar1 with 1 (uVar1 + 1) and another while loop for checking if it's not equal to L'\0'.

At last, it assigns a uVar1 to param_1 I guess? or how does it go about so Question

I have attached an image below to show the working of that function as well as highlighted in red the area of interest.
