So I found a pointer for my game, from there I found the playerbase, So then I take the value of the playerbase, and add both offsets, however it does not add up to the address of my original value, why is this?

Preffered Imagebase = 0x400000
Player Base Address = 0x4843f4
Player Base Value (in hex) = 0x690078
Offset 1 = 0x1F8
Offset 2 = 0x48
(example)Ammo Address = 0x695888

My thoughts


Code:
PlayerBaseValue + Offset1 + Offset2 = AmmoAddress


However this is not the case, how do I add up the address's and offsets to equal the Ammo Address?

Unless, I am missing something this still leaves me with the same problem. Adding the offsets to the address will not give me my ammo address, I need this for a c++ trainer btw if that makes a difference.

You don't just add the offsets together, for each offset you have to read from memory.

addr = base+baseoffset
addr = readPointer(addr)+offset1
addr = readPointer(addr)+offset2
...
value = readProperType(addr)

So ReadProcessMemory for every single offset that is added?

Yep, um... I've actually got an example in C++ I created awhile back for someone else based on the tutorial

https://github.com/FreeER/CE-Examples/blob/master/C%2B%2B/tutorial-step8.cpp or https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1y1wn2ho1feaii/tutorial-step8.cpp?dl=0
