Hey guys, I know there are loads of tutorials on this, but I can't really get down any of them, and they don't really work for me. Believe me, I have searched.

Anyways, if I use see what writes/accesses this address on my game (assault-cube Razz

), the game goes down to like 0.5 fps, no joke. Thus, I am forced to use pointerscan.

Alright, so I pointerscan the address I want (one that determines whether you are on ground or in air). Like 6 pointers appear. (NOTE: this is not multilevel pointers). I add 3 of them that say ac_client, and double click the address box on a random one. I copy-paste ac_client + [address] into add address manually, then double click the address that pops up and supposedly, that is the base. So I go ahead and try to use my newfound offset and address in a program.

Sadly, this does not work for me. So, my question is:

(TL;DR section:)

How can I effectively and easily find the base address, for non multi-level pointer scan? Additionally, how can I easily double check to make sure I got the right base address?

I honestly am confused even after a bunch of searches, so help is really appreciated especially from experienced members.

Thank you.

Your better off learning scripts; they're more straightforward lol. Or at least they can't screw you over as much.

Don't you need the base address, even for scripts? Unless we are talking very simple ones.

Let the writes search go for like 2 seconds, then stop it and see if there's a compare or something that, when modified, changes the logic.

Or if you just want to expose the number itself, you can target one of the many codes that reads it and copy the base value from that.

Second method here, "Injection Copies".

Thanks for that thread. I checked it out, had lots of helpful info. Just wondering, is there a simpler way though?

Try converting the base into an address instead of game.exe+whatever?

In the memory viewer turn off the show symbols and stuff at the bottom of the view menu.

Sorry for my lack on knowledge on this, but what do you mean? How do I convert it?

Sorry for not being clear. I am trying to use it in c++, with writeprocessmemory. How would I go about doing this? Do I just use game.exe + XXXXX + offset or something? I'm pretty confused, if you haven't noticed. Embarassed

So, if I am correct, in order to get the base address for a non-multilevel pointer, I search for the value, and I find the dynamic address. I add it to the address list. Then, I somehow change game.exe + XXXXX into an address, but how? Do I just use the dynamic address that cheat engine gives me? Is that game.exe + XXXXX? In order to use it in c++, I need the base address and offset, apparently. How do I "go to this address"? I don't really know what to do after I find the dynamic address. I have checked tutorials, but they all say different things.
