Hi, I'm just looking for a few quick tips that I'm having a bit of trouble with. I've got very basic knowledge this far down into code, and the tutorial doesn't explain stuff very well, so I'd be grateful if someone could see if they can guess what I'm doing wrong

Basically, there's 2 things I'd like help with (they both seem to have similar problems)

The first thing - on the tutorial where you have to change the weapon damage, I get to the point where I search for the first hex value for the pointer, but it comes up with hundreds of values. What must I do to find the correct one??
It says the lowest value is probably the one you want, so I tried making a few pointers, but they all just pointed to hex values, and no actual numbers

The second is a question about using it within a game. Starforge has resources, and I can find the value of individual crates, but only one at once. I tried finding the value which writes to it, searched for the hex, and got the result. However, setting this as a pointer then pointed to another hex value, and I searched for it and got the exact same problem of hundreds of values again :P

If possible, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
Cheers :)
