So I am still a semi newb with cheat engine - can find values, can do some stuff with pointers with tutorial but still having it hard to do it when it comes to real deal....

So let's say I got a game where I can hack HP in stage - if I repeat stage, I can use same old value, but if I start next one, I need to scan for values again.

Does that mean that pointers won't help me there aka I need individual HP search for each stage(the HP is shared between stages, so value should be related but it changes address each stage)

Also resetting game means even values of same stage reset - I assume that those can be 'auto found' with pointers, correct?

After those questions are answered I can put my next ones XD

You can usually find a pointer path that works across levels. Though it is possible that there won't be one it's unlikely since that would complicate the code for the developers as well and that's something you usually want to avoid since any large project has enough complexities without adding more unnecessarily.

Personally I rarely bother with finding pointers anymore, the closest I come is an injection copy to make my own based on some code that uses the dynamic address, I prefer writing scripts to do what I want (eg. not running the subtraction code).
