You should put some std::cout<<std::hex<<final_addr<<std::endl in between the lines, so you can see where it's failing doing what it needs.

I added it but now: Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'final_addr' is being used without being initialized. I am 100% sure it is initialized. I mean it is right in the previous line!
It is really becoming very strange :/

It is not being initialized, here is your code:

Code:

DWORD final_addr;

You need to initialize the variable to some amount first or else when you use it, it will just be random.

Omg, please kill me....
However here it is:

Code:

DWORD final_addr = NULL;
               DWORD temp_addr;
               ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, (LPVOID)(0x04B20000 + 0x006E92AC), &final_addr, 4, NULL);
               temp_addr = final_addr;
               ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, (PVOID)(temp_addr + ammoOffsets[0]), &final_addr, 4, NULL); // Here is when it fails: the next std::cout outputs 0 so as the second one
               std::cout<<std::hex<<final_addr<<std::endl;
               temp_addr = final_addr;
               ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, (PVOID)(temp_addr + ammoOffsets[1]), &final_addr, 4, NULL);
std::cout<<std::hex<<final_addr<<std::endl;
               //Now final_addr will be your desired address, you can write on it with WPM
               DWORD value = 30;
               WriteProcessMemory(processHandle, (PVOID)final_addr, &value, sizeof(value), NULL);

Code:

DWORD final_addr = 0;
SIZE_T r = 0;
DWORD base_addr = get_base_addr("hw.dll");
int b = ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, (void*)(base_addr + 0x6E92ACUL), &final_addr, sizeof(DWORD), &r);
printf("b=%d\nr=%d\nbase_addr=%08X\nfinal_addr=%08X\n", b, r, base_addr, final_addr);

Try this code and see if the output matches what you are expecting from the 0x6E92AC memory address.

As you can see the first std::cout outputs 0 so as the second

Just run my above code to see if that works. Your first std::cout doesn't tell us anything important.

OMG THIS IS WORKING
Below is a screenshot that shows the output of the program you asked me to run
I got the final_addr from it, searched as HEX in Cheat Engine and now it showed me 11 results from which the 2 were static ( green ). I got the address of the first added that to my program which changes the value and now BOOM it works!!! Very Happy

Big thanks to all that helped me find a solution for this! Very Happy
