Whoops, posted this in the main thread
first off, some backstory:
I'm trying to find settings in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition reliably, even through multiple versions.
The current approach we're using is just to try and find a new pointer for every new version and beta version. I've found that our 'main' setting - which is called 'Sun Azimuth' - actually has a 'higher level' setting: this Sun Azimuth setting is writing its own value to another address which is in static memory every frame. So it's basically a duplicate... just better.
I've already found a way to somewhat reliably find this higher setting (using AOBScan), now I just need to figure out how I do 'find out what addresses this instruction accesses' in Lua.
I found a lot of posts abpit it already, but none of their approaches seem to work.
Currently, I'm using this code:

That looks like some sort of memcpy routine. That instruction is probably accessing more addresses than the one you wanted. See step 9 of the CE tutorial for more information.

RDX could be 0 and the game is just handling the segfault, but more likely than not you're doing something wrong. Maybe the aobscan pattern isn't unique.

That wait function is bad. It's a busy loop (terrible) and os.time has a precision of only 1 second. You should also be using os.difftime to get the difference, but on windows and POSIX systems what you're doing is fine.
CE exposes a sleep function that is better than a busy loop.
Minor nitpicks:

• AOBScan should be scanning through executable memory only. It should be unique (use AOBScanUnique), and if it's in a module, you should only be scanning through that module (use AOBScanModuleUnique).
  
• You should be using local variables.
  
• Check if res is nil and, for the AOBScan function, destroy it after you're done using it. The Unique variant of the AOBScan functions just returns an integer- there's no stringlist to destroy.
  
• You print the text "EBX=" but read from RDX.

Thanks for the reply, it works now! The problem was indeed AOBScan.

sleep function is the same as yours wait function but there's second difference
