usually in a game for a example values are assigned and then reassigned to the same variable,more specifically same memory location (example)
int hp = 100
and when you take 1 damage
hp = 99

if a game instead of reassigning the same variable, just creates a new variable and assigns it the new value every time
so something like:
Integer hp = new Integar(100)
and when you take 1 damage
hp = new Integar(99)

searching for changed values would no longer work, but is it possible to make something to search for ExecutedCode that has assigned a location in memory a certain value?

so like instead of looking for addresses that have the value 100 and then seeing if any of those changed to 99 when you took damage
look for ExecutedCode that has resulted in an address holding the value 100 and then when you take damage see if any of the past results have been executed and caused an address to hold 99

all i really want to know whether or not its possible/feasible to write a tool that does this,
this might be a very stupid question or literally impossible but just asking for the sake of my sanity
p.s if there's other ways to deal with these kind of variables it would also be greatly apprieciated

Ultimap can search for and filter out calls that have been executed. This would likely work in the scenario that you describe.

That's infeasible.

You can scan for certain code (usually `call` instructions) that's been executed (ultimap / ultimap v2 / code filter), but it won't tell you anything about addresses or values.

Abusing the pointer scanner is an alternative. Scan for addresses w/ a certain value, allow dynamic addresses (uncheck "Only find paths w/ a static address"), and limit the max level to 2 or 3.

i see
about ultimap i actually have tried it, and it does do the job but for certain things there's just way too much stuff the executes along side the call that i'm looking for and it makes it almost impossible to find

and never thought about using the pointer scanner, will definitely go play with it right now lol


these are all the answers i needed, thanks for the super fast replies ♥

I see. You're right. I have a tendency to read between the lines sometimes when people are asking for help here.
