I'm trying to get my found static address with offsets into a C++ program, but I am having trouble getting the same address for the module that CheatEngine shows.

In my cheat table, I have two entries..

#1 SpeedRunners.exe F80000
#2 SpeedRunners.exe Pointer P->905A4D



I am using a function found online in C++ 'GetModuleBaseAddress' and I use this with 'SpeedRunners.exe' and it returns a value of 0xF80000 which is correct for the entry #1... but my aim is to get a value of 0x905A4D instead because this is needed along with some offsets to get my final address...

Why are the two entries different and how can I get the value of entry #2 in my C++ code?

you're mixing up the offset of the module with the offsets of the pointers

As I was writing this question it clicked and I tried it after posting and it worked... so it's as simple as reading the memory address of my entry #1 and the value of that should be entry #2...

Code:
DWORD speedRunnersBaseAddr = GetModuleBaseAddress(pid, "SpeedRunners.exe");
DWORD speedRunnersPointerBaseAddr;
ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPCVOID)speedRunnersBaseAddr , &speedRunnersPointerBaseAddr, sizeof(DWORD), nullptr);


I hope this might help someone in the future.
