Hi, i'm quite new to using cheat engine, and i'm having problems with pointers... i'm working on trying to get a money cheat for Risk of Rain going, and i manage to change it. But each level i have to find the Address again which is getting annoying. I assume that's what pointers are for as it seemed that way from reading through forum posts. My problem is, after following all the steps from the tutorial, when i get to the point of Searching for the 4 byte hex Exact Value, i get no results, absolutely nothing, i have tried this multiple times... i would really appreciate some help here.

Also try to keep in mind i am a complete noob here. Smile

Yes, you're right, you need to find a static base address. This base address could be also a multilevel pointer (pointerchain). That just means a pointer, to a pointer, to a pointer and so on to your value. Most of the times it's a level 2-3 pointerchain. You just have to try out which one will always point to your value. This can take some time but its worth Smile

Use the CE built-in pointer scanner Smile Easy to use Smile There are some tutorials out in the WWW Smile

Problem is, i can't even get more than the address to the value, i can't get past that, can't find a single pointer... If i try to see what accesses the address i get nothing, and all tutorials I've come across tell me that's what i need to do.

Do a pointer scan. On the adress you hav found. Right click --- ponter scan. Press ok or scan. Save the scan results as 1 when asked. Let the pc scan completely. Dont abort till the screen with pounter scan results come.
Now exit the game. Reopen game attach cheat engine. Find the adress of.money again. As expected it wil ne different from last time. Nw click on memory view---tools---pointer scan. Cancel new scan. Click on file open the 1 file (pointer scan results) click on rescan from drop down menu. Enter the new adress of the money. Click ok. When it asks to save save tht file as 2. Then it will filter out some adresses. Do this close game open game once you find less adresses. Double click on some 6 to 7 top results. There is ur pointer. Either all may be correct or atleast ul find one f them to be correct. Restart game to check that its right one.
