Hello, I guess I should start by saying that I'm new to Cheat Engine.

Suppose I want to change the number of money in a game. So I look up the address by value, add it to the left side of the cheat engine and change the value. Then I save it so that I don't have to keep looking for values again and again.

However, what should I do if the address in the game keeps changing and it is different every time I turn on the game? Can I somehow use the Cheat Engine to make it automatically find the correct addresses and values? Or how does it work?

I hope you understand what I mean Smile .

Easiest method is do a pointerscan and use pointermaps

Link


but you can also use code injection and then store the address somewhere which you can then reference later in a table entry

Thank you for the explanation, I will try it later.

I still want to ask how is it possible to find a value that does not change/is static? For example if there is a shop in the game where an item costs for example 800$. And I want to change this 800$ to 0$. How can i find this exact value?

find money. Find out what decreases money.
and then look at the code that decreased money and try to figure out how it got that value to decrease it with.
And then do some debugging, stepping, etc... to figure out where it originated from (the ipt log might help a little, if your cpu supports it)

Thank you again for your reply and I apologize for not writing back sooner.

I would still like to know how I can freeze a certain value. When I checked "Active", the value kept changing.

I would like some advice.

In one game I'm trying to edit a free space in my inventory. The way it works is that each item has a Weight and I have e.g. "0.0/80.0" in my inventory. When I add an item to my inventory, there is "16.3/80.0" etc...

However, if I try to change the value e.g. "0.0", the value is always reset. Why? It means that if I have e.g. "34.6/80.0" in my inventory and I change this "34.6" to "0", the value will restart.

And one more thing I would like to know. How to properly search for values like "0.0", "33.6", "88.5" etc...?
