hi guys, im back again being a little bit of a noob Very Happy
basically, i know how to do pointers and change values in games etc..... i'm just puzzled because, i'm not sure what 1. a float or double scan is for, and 2. when too use them instead of a normal 2/4 byte scan.
its just wierd, because when hacking into flash games, if its a 4 byte scan then i can get into it easily, but sometimes i dont get the adress that i wanted etc, and im just wondering if i'm meant to be using a float or double etc, or wether i need to scan quicker Very Happy
cheers Very HappyVery Happy

Byte is for smaller scans like 100 health
2 byte is used for smaller scans liek your health being 1000 or so
4 byte is for huge scans, like in millions
8 byte is ridiculously huge, and few use it becasue it takes so long to scan.
Float stores coordinates and etc
Double is for flash games
All is for you dont know what type it is.

Start with 4-byte scans...then change if you don't get a result with that variable type.
You can find values in 4-byte that actually turn out to be a float value. You can simply change it in CE so that it reflects the right value. Doubles are like float but longer in length. Not usually typical of a lot of games due to it been an inefficient way of storing values unlike float.
Sometimes byte scans are required to find smaller values that don't seem to be cropping up with the larger scans with DWORD and such.
