I know, I seem obsessed with pointer scanner.. it's just very handy since I don't know the correct manual way to find em Razz

I play this online game, now I know I can't edit health and stats etc because it's all server side and I am using a client that doesn't tell the server what to do as far as those things, but there is some part of the client that tells the server what to do (my location in the game, coordinates) I found my height address and assigned a key to increase it (float) by 10 when pressed which basically allows me to jump really high, or even fly. I have trouble finding a pointer for it with injected pointer scanner as it just seems to lock up a little way though the scan with settings: Writable memory as base only, 2 threads scanneing -> Normal, size of structure 1024, max level 4. Sometimes when I try a second time it gives me an access violation error. The game is IE browser based if that makes any difference on how it would scan the pointer location.

no idea about the crashes.
but because it is IE my answer is: give up! it's not worth it.
the location can change with every dynamic thing in the page. e.g if the day can be written using lonly 1 character instead of 2 then the pointer will be different again because all pointers move up one spot in the array list

Ok thanks, I figured out manual pointers and pointer to a pointer last night but it didn't seem to work for the game so I will take your advice and give up. I can still always go into code list and find out what writes to the address to find it again. If I were to learn code injection do you think it would be possible then?
