This is probably really basic, but I've never found why this happens myself..

Working with a pointer to find a value ingame, which is fine.
Problem arises if I try to let the user choose how much of something to pick up.

I feel like it's just an issue with the way I allocate the memory specifically, but again really not sure.

Here's what I've got:

[code]
code:
mov [held_artifacts],rcx
mov eax,[pickup_m]
mov [rcx+10],eax
mov eax,[pickup_b]
mov [rcx+14],eax
mov eax,[pickup_a]
mov [rcx+18],eax
mov eax,[r8+08]
jmp return

held_artifacts:
dq

pickup_m:
dd 1

pickup_b:
dd 1

pickup_a:
dd 1
[/code]

Storing the address (rcx) for one of the trackers, then pushing the desired values to each relevant 4byte memory section.. but doing so offsets my defined pointers in the table.
When I point to held_artifacts+10/14/18, to find the relevant addresses, they're instead offset by 100000011/15/19.

Is it because I'm declaring dq before them..?
Everything is defined as a symbol/label if it matters

My guess is that it's not declared right. Make sure you give it a default value.

Yeah, that was the problem... can't believe it was so simple omg

Thanks!! I assumed by declaring the space for 8byte it would be satisfied as 00000000 without explicitly being told so. Oh well, easy fix
