I am trying to find a value that displays the image signifying my turn in a game, so i can read the address in autoit to and have my bot do its turn.

use the d3d snapshot feature of ce

configure a hotkey for it, then go int the game and take a snapshot.
Now look through the list of images for the draw operation that draws your display value (tip: if you have a fast cpu you can combine it into one image and then click on the final rendering)
Once you've pinpointed it, look at the stacktrace of that specific draw command to see if you can figure out how it got it's value.


Alternatively, you could just do a normal memory scan for the value like most people do

try the tutorial (you can open it from the help menu). One of the first steps is a one where you scan without seeing the value

I found it. Thank you for gracing me with your presence Dark Byte. Your condescending words really motivated me to be less stupid.

I don't think he was being condescending at all. I was though... Very Happy

No...Dark Byte is pretty much neutral all of the time...with occasional spots of humor.

I'm just being annoying today because I am extremely sleep deprived...among other things.
