So on Ad Venture Capitalist i want to change the value of lemons (how much they give me on each cycle) the value of lemons is stored as a double and i have the address (I think it changes every time the game starts) i change the value and nothing happens, im stuck there and i cant do the auto assembler r pointer stuff

So there are basically 2 things that could cause your problem.
1) I dont know the game, but if it's a multiplayer game, your value could be stored server-side. Forget to hack it.
2) You simply found the wrong adress to edit. You just found the displayed or a copy of your real lemon value. Search for other datatypes.

I'm absolutely sure its not server side, even though it requires internet, the infomation is either in cookies for how long you've been off (Not associated)
and i know the infomation can be changed live because whe i tried to do it it messed up the game mechanics pretty bad, also it is definitely a double although something writes to it to change it to a higher value but i just can't do that

It's a Unity web game, but it appears to just be a cookie-clicker idler type of game (thus the "progress" being saved for next run), didn't ask me for an account and the only traffic appears to be standard playtime analytics stuff.

So the issue here is what do you attach to?
Tried an unknown initial scan?

My problem is my lack of understanding, i change the value of lemons, but nothing happens, i am 99% sure its the right adress becuase when messing around with what writes to it and code injection (which i know nothing about)
unexpected things happen

Code injection on display values can cause unexpected things as well because even if the value is only for display, the game code operating on it is still actual game code that can affect other things

Now... what did you attach to?
And did you try an unknown initial scan?
What did you do, exactly?

Hello sir, my apologies, but are wrong.

Dollars are stored as double values
Lemons are stored as 4 bytes values

Here is what I have <see attachment> : (Changing the values is ok)

I think you screwed your scan method, you should retry for a 4Byte value
The other values below keeps increasing by one, and some of them stop increasing, but doesn't seems to matter.

(Btw the music is horrible, I hope you have muted the game)

Yeah the current count of a business or whatever is 4byte. Here's a script to buy 10,000 of an object for the price of 1 (the initial purchase of a business will also grant 10,000), see if it works for you.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy...

It's fricking astounding to see that you can buy items with real money, I hate these games :c

I'm using Chrome if that makes a difference (probaly not) I would use Firefox but I couldn't find unity player plug in so is the plug in container the right process because if so then I'll be using my fav browser Very Happy

Yeah this is for Firefox, there's two of them (one for flash and one for Unity) once the game's running, and you'll need to buy some stuff before the code is loaded, but see if it works on one or the other.

EDIT: Haha whoops, I overflowed.

i see, working now can someone see if there is also a double value that has the same number which goes up? becuase i can still see one and it really confused me. btw the cheat engine comminity is so nice!

I can't find any double values for that, again it's 4-byte.

Here's some code that accesses the current profit for each business, it looks like.

And those addresses, when changed, will actually change the profit you get per run of the business, so this is definitely code that operates on the actual values in one way or another.
