I'm trying to find a value of an action game, when the character is doing nothing I know the default value is FFFFFFFF, and if I change this value to 1,2 or 3 the game will detect and cast a skill, then immediately change it back to FFFFFFFF. How do I find the address of this kind of value?

I only know I use the scan type of changed value but it's technically impossible to catch the moment my wanted just change to 1 while casting the skill manually and preform the searching of CE, is there a way to exclude those values not changing during that, only show those values "ever changed" but still stay FFFFFFFF?

Tick the checkbox "Pause the game while scanning"

I think this is not gonna work, almost every moment it stays at default value and I can not catch the moment value changed because of the unknown delay after I press a key til game detect and change it Confused

In addition to ticking the checkbox, set a hotkey for scanning then you can press the hotkey as soon as the delay is over.

That delay is unknown, I've tried this method using keypress bot with hotkey searching set too, but it's just not realistic to catch that.

Is the delay due to ping? i.e. an online game?

It's probably not because I'm playing offline mode, the reason why I think it not doable is I don't know to adjust the delay longer or shorter If not catchs, and the keypress bot's timer is not very accurate either, the accuracy of it may bigger than that delay time already Sad

try ultimap or the codefilter to find the code that accesses that address

I'm not using an Intel CPU so I'm gonna skip ultimap and try code filter fisrt, I'm still a newbie to CE so I guess this gonna take some time but I will try it, thanks for advice!

is the target 64 bit? If so, use ce 7.5 with the unwind info. It's the most stable way to get a proper list of instructions

It's 32bit, I'm now still facing the problem that game keep crashing, but seems only load from disassembler works for me Confused
