Hi guys,
Iam trying to change address value and when i change it it turn to negative value every time it change it to different value it change to another negative value like (the current value is 845 then i change it to 999999999 it change to -1262375) i don't know what to do to make it increase

Have you tried a more reasonable number? Like 999?
Are you sure the address is 4-bytes and not 2-bytes?

When CE shows you some strange negative number, does the game still show the correct amount?

What if you simply freeze the address instead?
When it changes normally in game, does it screw up too?

if i freeze the value it will be correct number that i changed but when i close the game and reopen it the value change to the negative number

No, don't change the value. Just freeze it. Then go in game and have the value change normally.
Go back to cheat engine and unfreeze the address. Does it now change to some negative number?

I hope this whole time you haven't been meaning that when you close/open the game, the address in your table no longer works.
That's expected because memory is dynamic and the game values are loaded into different memory addresses each time.

When i freeze the value. Then go in game and have the value change normally then went back to cheat engine and unfreeze the address.
the address didn't change to negative number and stay at freezed value

I know that memory is dynamic and the game values are loaded into different memory addresses each time.

I ment by when i reopen it the value change to the negative number, the value in the game

Posting the assembly around (especially before) an instruction that writes to that address might be helpful.

yea i tried changing it to negative numbers and it changed to the new number with negative (from -1262375 to -999999999)

Right click on the address and select "Find out what writes to this address".
Do something in game to make the value change.
Some instruction should pop up in the window. Select that and hit "Show disassembler".
Highlight instructions around the instruction that writes to that value (shift-click will help).
Right click something that's highlighted and select Copy -> Bytes + Opcodes.
Paste that stuff here.

You can see whatever the game is doing with that value by looking at the ASM that's around instructions that access that address. No guarantees it'll be just before writing to that value (might be hundreds of instructions before), but it might be there.

Changing the value to hex 40000000 gives you a negative number?
