Cheat Engine

I need to write a new value into memory that will be used in a function. Are there any rules that i should follow?

Let me see if i can explain better:

I have a bunch of colors references that i need my game to use in a function depending on the situation. So i need my game to register on random free addresses somewhere in its memory, the references for these colors, so that they can be called from a function.

Should i use a random free address? Those ones that are way below? And hope they will never be used by the game? How do i know that those addresses wont be overwritten or used by the game at some point?

Is this the correct way to do this?

Ok i will try to answer my own question. Or at least tell you what i know and what i have been doing, since moderators must be busy all the time with all our questions. And maybe they will confirm or disagree with me.

From what i understood for now, you can use the chunks that are unused in the unexplored area. Just open it in IDA pro and look in the upper bar, the parts that are light green/olive color, that says Unexplored. Thats what i have been using and had no problems. I write the values i need to use or register there.

CE can find code caves. You can use those caves to store vars, too.

That sounds more accurate and more "official". However i cant find any Code Caveman command in cheat engine. If there is any?

How do i do it?
