I never used pointer scanning 😄

PegPeregoGaucho

well,thank you anyways :lul:

yarnfang

The skilled don't have to :(

AdrienTD

Yeah, I don't really have to.

AdrienTD

For me, it's enough to know in which class a variable is stored.

AdrienTD

Then I already have code that determine the pointer of that class.

something needs to work

yarnfang

Stuff working is never a requirement of life :(

What I do in XXL: 1. I find the address of the value using Cheat Engine. 2. I determine the base address of the structure/class containing the value. 3. I look at the first value of the class which is often a virtual function table. 4. I look in IDA for references to the virtual function table to get the class' constructor code. 5. Find a reference to the constructor to find the class registration code. There you should find the name and ID of the class.

In the case of the helmet count, it is in CKAsterixPlayer

PegPeregoGaucho

so you can just change the helmet count in CKAsterixPlayer?

AdrienTD

yes

AdrienTD

Using my tool, you can open up the CKAsterixPlayer and see the helmet count there.

There was also this I wondered if it could be the cause of any problems
