I'm trying to find the mem address to my location in a game. I know my location, because I can do a command in-game to get that info. But I want to know where in the memory it is stored.

I do a locate, get the float, search for the float. Odds are good, it always returns one address. Then, I move in-game and the value never changes. I redo the locate and re-search the float. Location is different, its only good for that one time.

Is there any technique I can use to find the pointer for this constantly moving value? As far as I've seen it always ends up in a new location.

No one has any ideas on this one?

have you tried freezing the game before searching? what i'd do:

1. run your locate command to find your x/y coordinates
2. freeze the game
3. search for your x or y coordinate
4. do a long (4 byte) search for the address location (convert the addresses from hex to decimal) of each result to isolate the pointer. if you get no results, then the coordinates are likely part of a structure. many games use some type of structure for their player object to store variables. if this is the case, you need to find the start of the structure, since the pointer will point to the start of the structure. not really in the mood to explain how to do this so i hope you already know! gl

If You are having problems with finding a pointer manually, try to use the pointer scanner.

How do I find the start of the structure? Or even figure out if that is what I am dealing with?

Find some player related info, like health for example and check out what the register values.
