I think I understand how a pointer works, and I've cleared the cheat engine tutorial step 6 without much problem. But when working with multilevel pointers and sometimes even single level pointers, how do you know which address from the results of the scan will be the "right" one? (I'm using quotes here because I know there could be multiple pointers pointing to the same base address) Is there a general guideline to choose one address over the others?

I always try to pick the one with the lowest address in memory, other than that, it is simply guess and check.

A lot of gamehacking is trial and error, guessing and mostly intuition. Intuition can't be taught but learned, that is why you "get" it once you start making trainers for a lot of games.

It is like seducing a girl, what move to make when all comes down to intuition and calibration. It can't be taught but experienced. Of course if you're gay then well Laughing
