Probably you have found the wrong address. Keep searching until you find the correct value.

The displayed value is usually not the same as the real value. You have found the displayed value, so on your screen it seems that the cheat is working, but the real value is still decreasing and regardless of what you see on the screen, your cheat is not working at all.

Thanks for the reply back Geri ok so I'm finding the display values how would I go about find the one I need then I'm starting out the scan with a unknow initial value after I have reloaded my battery for the flashlight and know it's at it's peak value then with the all scan cause I don't know if it's a 2 4 float then I turn it on and continue to search for a decreased value until I only find a few and in this case by few I mean a few hundred I narrow it down to 211 address that I can see move and stop and not float around once stopped as I tick the flashlight on and off all with the same values which is 100 srry if this sound complely dumb or stupid and thank you for your help and srry again if this is really huge on phone for a while out of town

I don't have the game, so I don't know how to find it specifically. It could be a decreasing value, but it can also be an increasing value (eg full battery is 0, empty battery is 100), so try both of them. And if that doesn't work either, also try changed/unchanged searches.
I think you should ask in the topics where cheats were posted for the game.

You're searching for it wrong. I was working on the flashlight just last night.

The display meter in games is often independent from the actual value of the variable in question. You are finding the address for the display, and it's not actually freezing the flashlight.

Here's why:

The value for the battery is a float, it fluctuates from 0 (battery full) increasing in value to ~100 (battery empty). The value is a measurement of how much is used versus how much is left.

For me, the address is always in the 0B3xxxxx-0B5xxxxx range.

After working on it all damn day today, I've written an AA script that stops the battery from draining. Had some trouble isolating the right instruction, but I got it eventually.
