Greetings,

I see that all of the pointer-scanning tutorials show how to get a pointer chain from a starting static address, like this : [gamemodule.exe + static_offset] + offset_1] + offset_2] = money_value.

But none shows how to get a pointer chain from a dynamic starting address. For example, now I have the address of the local player entity, i.e. p_localplayer, but this address is dynamic, which means in every game this address is different. And I know there is a pointer chain to get the health of this player, for example, the chain is [p_player + offset_1] + offset_2] + offset_3] = player_health.

The question is, how could I do pointer scanning to get this chain?

I find ways to get the address of the local player in every game, so the address of the local player is known. Also, I do a memory scan to get the address of the health value.

Then, I did a pointer scan on the health address, also I set the local player address as the "base address in range" option(from the local player address to the local player address). I set the max level of the pointer to 5 (I am sure that the pointer chain is 5-level).

But after the search, there is no result found. So I want to know if this pointer scanning method, which is searching from a dynamic base address, is correct or not.

Thanks for any help!

That should work but make sure the offset size is also set high enough

and base address should be in the range of p_localplayer and p_localplayer+8

---
Alternatively use the structure spider

set base address to p_localplayer , set pointer must be in range and enter two times the same address you're looking for

then do a scan
