I've tried my hand at Multi level pointers recently and I believed I already got the hang of it until I tried ACU. My objective was to find the static address for smoke bombs.

Here's my progress:

The game would crash if I attached the windows debugger so I changed to VEH Debugger because that's what people suggested in another ACU thread.

Step 1) Find the basic address to smoke bombs.
Question: Does it matter which address I pick or will all these addresses lead me to the correct static address in the end?

Step 2) Find out what accesses this address.
Address is 4C3C40A0; offset is E4.

Step 3) Search for the address you found in hex mode and... Oh shi-
I figured that some would return nothing when asked about what accessed these addresses and I was right. Others however, returned a lot of things. Instructions that I barely understood because I have almost no knowledge about assembly. Different addresses were accessed by different opcodes leading me to more different addresses. And so I feel lost.

I guess the reason why I'm making this post is because I need someone to point out my mistakes and to tell me how should I act when I see multiple addresses like in step 3.

You are dealing a multi-lvl pointer manually? Better use pointerscan option, much better, much faster, much stronger.

If you want to know how to work with pointerscan, I recommend you the CE tutorial in the help menu.
