Hi all,

Just wonder are we able to perform a combo search in cheat engine? "Combo Search" means searching for a memory block containing pair of value A and value B within certain range.

For example, A is 5 and B is 12 and they must be within each other in 1K Bytes.
The results can be
0x00000001 -- 5; 0x00000100 -- 12; (first pair)
0x10FF0010 -- 12; 0x10FF0001 -- 5; (second pair)

Or in other way, after a single value A search. Are we able to perform nearby search of value B within 1K Bytes on the return list to find the true pair?

Thanks,
ss

There is a Grouped search if you know exactly how many bytes that second value is from the first.

4:1 w:16 4:100

4:1 tells it to find a 4-byte value of '1'
w:16 tells it to skip 16 bytes
4:100 tells it to then find a 4-byte value of '100'

Thanks, how about I don't know the distance between A and B, but just the range. Say I know Att/Def for a character, and guess they will store close to each other. However I don't know how far they are apart. Then the combo search/pair search becomes useful.

BTW, if I know exact distance, do I do "4:1 w:16 4:100" on the main search screen?

groupscan:
Code:

BA:1 BS:1024 OOO:U 4:5 4:12


Out of order (A could be before B and no predefined distance)
Blocksize 1KB
Alignment on 1 Byte and not type aligned (seeing that 10ff0001 could contain a value)

Also, change the 4: 's to 1:'s if they are single bytes and not 4 byte values
e.g:
Code:

BA:1 BS:1024 OOO:U 1:5 1:12
