Cheat Engine

Hello.

I'm new to Cheat Engine, and I have a problem to which I failed to find a solution.

Preface:
The game I want to hack (GTA V) has a function in the game's map screen that highlights the object (blip) which my cursor is currently on. For example, pointing the map at a gun store would highlight the Gun Shop legend item on the right side. I want to disable that behavior, and I have found a couple of data addresses which reflect the changes I make in-game.

The opcode responsible for changing one of those values seems to be doing much more than what I want disabled. If I try to replace it with nop, the game's pause menu becomes unusable (text not appearing, etc.). It writes to quite a few more values than just the one I'm interested in.

Problem:
I'd like to write a script in the auto assembler that would prevent that 1 opcode from writing to one particular address, while letting it write normally to others.

the opcode is:

Watch the values going through the 2 registers. If one is a base value and the other is a variable offset then you could try testing that variable value, of course it may have the same effect as testing for the address. I can think of 2 conditions that may lead to failure.
1. There are more changes necessary to accomplish the goal.
2. Testing for the location within the array does not narrow results down enough which would also be linked to changes happening elsewhere.

Thanks, sbryzl, for your brilliant idea. I have made some good progress.
