I'm using the game They Are Billions to learn how to use CE, so I tried to change worker, food and energy values. I hardly found them and his pointers, but his values is changing back, so I found the code that was accessing the addresses of this values, I changed the "mov" for "add" and the values starts to grow fast infinitely. So I tried to find the pointer of this address in order to create a script to activate and deactivate this growth, but after 7h of scan I gave up to find the pointer, but without the pointer I cannot create a script to do that, or can I?
Things that could help me is a way to find pointers without wait more than 7h, or a way to create a script without the pointer if possible, or anything else that I still don't know

if the value changes back the address you found is wrong so a pointer won't work anyhow.

(just a displayvalue, and don't even bother in online matches, won't work)

If mov to add works then you can likely write a code injection script. Just add in a way to filter the required address from the other addresses that instruction accesses

I thought the address was wrong, but when I changed the code of the address to "nop" the new value stop to change back, I think it means the address is correct, but some code is preventing alterations, the problem is the address of code, I couldn't find his pointer, this way every time I restart the game I have to find it again, I found this code using "find out what access this address"

as I said, it could be a display value and you only changed the code used to display the value to the screen.
Could you actually spend/use the items affected ?

But try an aobscan for the code, or if it's mono just enable the mono features and it'll have a usable name instead of address you can use

Yes, when I deactivated the code the values changed could be used as it was there, and the aobscan script worked, thanks
