I'm no expert in lua/asm, but I'm wondering if it's possible to grab an address when a specific value is found at any time during a process' runtime?

I know for certain that, eventually, a value (eg. 1193564454) will exist in some unknown address, but if only for a frame, and at an unknown time otherwise.

I assume it's possible to have a breakpoint or similar to find any address(es) that contain a value when it pops up during runtime, but I'm completely lost.

It's not possible to automatically "detect" when that specific value is written (as far as I know).

The way to solve this problem is that you have to do some detective work and figure out how that value is being written. Maybe there is some string that is associated with the function that writes it? Use "referenced strings" as an entry point and see if you can get onto the thread that eventually writes that value. Or maybe you have some other idea about how this process works to get to the right thread.

But once you find the thread, slowly step through it and narrow down exactly when it's written. Eventually (after a lot of tedious stepping through the assembly op codes) you can figure out precisely which opcode writes it and then you can always know where it is by breaking on that opcode.

I've done this myself many times. It can take a while but you will eventually find it this way.
