So, there's this game where your mana regenerates every second for 5 points.
I guess you can just search for the MP then see what writes to it and just double the regeneration per second. But, how would you decrease the regeneration timer instead? So it would regenerate every 1/2th of a second?

How would I even search for something like that?

You would need to trace back the mana regen function and find out what executes it.
There should be some logic around there determining when to call the function again.

It's so much simpler to make it add twice as much mana per tick than it is to make it tick twice as fast.

There a reason you don't want to do it this way?
10 mana per second is the same as 5 mana per 1/2 second.

Yea, just break and trace the instruction and each collapsed item in the tree view is a new function.
Go to the instruction, then up 1 to find the function call.
The main function you want is likely many calls deep.
You're in for a long, frustrating search.

It'd probably be easier to find what accesses MP and find one of the lesser-run functions that works on a time frame you like and then add a regen to that.

Alright, I'll give both of those a try; thanks guys.
