Hi, very amateur cheater here.

I am creating a very simply table for editing HP and I found the function as follows

Code:
movss [r14+00000120],xmm5


r14+120 is the address for the HP, so I tried to get the pointer by adding the following to the AOB injection

Code:
globalalloc(HPpointer,64)

newmem:
  mov [HPpointer],r14


and setting up a pointer with HPpointer+120

But the address do not match with the actual HP address (since I found that first and got the function by doing "find out what writes to this address")

Anyone know the reason why this didn't work? cause I had success getting the pointers this way in other games.

Thanks

1: did you check if that instruction accesses other addresses?
2: the globalalloc generally won't be within +-2GiB of the code injection to use RIP-relative addressing, so that instruction will only compile if you're lucky. Use alloc / registersymbol, pass a third parameter to globalalloc as well, or address it through a register.
3: the size of allocs is in bytes, not bits. Changing 64 to 8 is more appropriate.
