Cheat Engine

[jetlagged]

So I'm a beginner using Cheat Engine, and I'm seriously stuck on trying to change one value. I've gone through the Tutorial a few times and have done extensive research, but I can't seem to solve the problem I'm stuck on.

Basically, I'm trying to change one simple value in Ghostrunner, the ability cooldown. (and from there I'm assuming I can find out how to change the timeslow uplink cooldown too) However, I find two values, each nearly the same with decimals of difference (they're both 1 when it's full, 0 when it's empty) and when I freeze them, it does quite literally nothing and the value keeps changing. So I thought "what is going on here?" So I went to check what wrote to them and replaced them with NOP (idea from search), however all this did was break all display cooldowns and so I restarted the game and decided to try and look for the non-display value.

So I ran through Unknown Initial Value with Float (also idea from search) and kept doing increasing/decreasing until I was left with 27 results. Freezing all of these values also ended up doing nothing, so I went back to the old two values and tried replacing what wrote to them with [eax]#1 (so it always writes 1 (found from search)) which obviously crashed the game. There used to be a working Ghostrunner Trainer using cheat engine but it's extremely outdated and it doesn't work anymore.

What am I supposed to do at this point? I'm more stuck doing this than actually beating the game. (which I've done twice)

Not sure if this will help you expand your ideas, but in general with OTHER games, I remember some occasions in the past where a cool down counted up, and others where it counted down. I also remember running into a situation where there's more than one keeping track of it. It might even be something crazy where there's one counting up, and the other counts down at the same time. I also have run into cool downs being 2 or 4 byte values, and other times being floats. Consider all possibilities.
