So, I have seen a lot of tutorials around the web, and every time I got stuck to this step.
Here is the thing...

I've scanned the initial value (100), decreased (99) and re-scan, catch the address and then, with right click at this, selected "Find out what writes to this address".
(The next step is where the all thing just gets messed.)

With this menu opened I decrease the initial value once more to find out what is writting at the address. The code that appears is ALWAYS something like that:

sub dword ptr [rsi+00000780],01

Following all tutorials, it is supposed to be something like
dec [00045EF1]
which means that the code is decreasing from this address.

Could someone help me out with this?
This is pissing me off. Mad

Well, thank you everyone who at least read the post... Wink

Both of those instructions will successfully subtract 1 from the given address.
You can simply NOP the entire instruction to prevent this behavior.

sub dword ptr [rsi+00000780],01

RSI contains the base address to some game structure.
The value you found is at offset 0x780 from that base.

sub dword ptr [rsi+00000780],01
> sub 4bytes [rsi+00000780],01
>> sub [rsi+00000780],01
>>> sub from [rsi+00000780], 01
>>>> subtract 1 from [rsi+00000780]
>>>>> subtract 1 from this address.

wow!!!... really appreciate that

But, just one more question...

If that instruction will subtract 1 from the address and the tutorial asks to change it to increase 2 instead which instruction should I use to it?

When I tried to use "add [rsi+00000780]" the message that appears is
"this instruction cant be compiled" or something like that...

and again, thank you for you help

Add takes two arguments, you need to tell it how much to add.

add [rsi+00000780],2

You're missing a space...
add[rsi+00000780],02
Should be...
add [rsi+00000780],02

Added the space
Still the same behavior.

Well, if there is nothing else wrong and I still cant do it
Probly better to give up?

This is not a tutorial, moved.

The instruction likely needs to be on its own line.
