Hi,
I tried to "solve" some Multilevel Pointers in Games like SpaceSiege or BioShock ( Smile

) but when I try to "find out what writes to this adress" (or "read/access" to this adress) and lose some health nothing happens. I only have 1 adress in my list (left-side of CE) and so: I can't try another adress for my Pointer... what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advice Smile

If you mean a pointer address, only use find out what accesses.
If it doesn't find something, try another address (you usually get a list of addresses after that hex scan, just try most of them)

If you mean just finding the code that accesses the health address, try using the kernel debug option in settings->extra and then find what writes/access

Ok... now does the pointer works... but when I do a "access scan" of this pointer I get the same adress as before (before there was the NORMAL adress, no pointer).... I think this should be another adress or I am wrong?

it can be confusing sometimes but you just have to try to not get confiused by equal values.

example:

Very confusing... I looked again at the Tutorial by "Chase Pain" and I saw this:

When I do a access scan of the lvl1 Pointer the Adress from the Tutorial is different than the first hex scan. mine is the SAME...:
I do a access scan of the lvl1 Pointer and get the same adress I searched before (hex scan)... ?! I'm very sad right now Evil or Very Mad
