Cheat Engine

I am hacking bioshock for my second playthrough of it, and i
have several codes in the disassembler, one of which is a tracker
for every ammo or inventory number there is.

So it controls everything really. And even though NOPing it
is nice, it makes it so I cannot gain ammo for things i'm all
out of ammo for. What i'm asking is: Is there a way to restrict
the code to only allow it to increase the values of other addresses?

Also, how come so many other times the "find out what code
writes to this address" function doesnt work? I was amazed to
find that in Bioshock it actually works. (i'm not hating on cheat
engine, i'm just trying to understand it)

If you dont see what write try access's it.
Also the instruction your getting, it would be nice if you posted it so people can look at it. And maybe give you some ideas.
even better would be screen shot of CE in memory view or this instruction.

do a code injection at that location and add in code that does the check for you

Ok so building on what DB said, you could make the ammo increase instead when it is supposed to decrease:

Yea I was NOPing the code that subtracted ammo from the currently loaded clip, which made you never have to reload.

Thanks for the help, by the way
