Its game Unity of Command, trying to hack prestige points using CE.
I can find its value only in a string variable.
I tried to trace to actual active address, with no success, please see screenshots.
Can you please advice where to find or look?

I tried search, but just few similar old topics about strings in CE.

If you found only a string, it means it's either a different data type or it is encrypted.
Search for changing/non-changing values and eventually you will end up with the value or a pointer to it.
Then, see how it's read/written and bingo.

Thanks for reply.
I tried to search different data types, even with ALL also - nothing.
I tried many times to find unknown value, and filter by changed/unchanged - nothing.
I can find only string variable... Maybe is there ways to trace from this string?

Can you please explain your "notice the change when it is actually changed in game"? I already tried all data types, changed in game and filter in CE.

the address(whose value type is String) you found, change its value type to say 4byte, then change value in the game, you will notice a change in the value, modify it accordingly

Are you saying not even a single byte is changing?
It's hard to believe considering you have found the string.

Thanks for explanations, please see screenshots(opposite order), I have tried this.
Found string, changed type to 4 bytes, changed value, back to game and in turned to normal game value - doesnt work. Seems its just print string, and changing it gives nothing in game.

When trying to find unknown value its Changing, but after many filtering by changing/unchanging I receive 0 records.

this is because this is not the actual value. try searching for changed/unchanged values on different value types

Thanks for advises, I tried search unknown starting from 2bytes: 2bytes, 4bytes, 8bytes..

But I need many times to change my target value, but it limited..because prestige points in game just 300, and I can spent it by 20 ..30.. not less..
