Cheat Engine

[Thunder_Bird]

I have been thinking of a way to find out which code is executed when I perform a certain action, lets say when I shoot. cheat engine find out the instruction if we have a memory address related to that instruction.
for example if I have the address for animations, I start drbugging it so when I shoot and shooting anim is played, cheat engine will grab the instruction and will show it to me.

but what if I dont have an address? So, with my basic knowledge of assembly language, I know that instruction pointer(EIP) holds the address of every instruction which gets executed. so I thought if I vould debug EIP, I will be able to trace/grab all the code which gets executed whenever I shoot.

so my question is, is it possible to debug EIP and not only EIP but other registers as well, it might sound stupid as idk if registers have addresses of their own as they are part of CPU and not RAM xd

You're somewhat mistaken. The EIP register holds a pointer address which is a 32-bit value indicating the location in memory where the current instruction starts. Normally, it increments to point to where the next instruction in memory begins after executing an instruction. The EIP register cannot be manipulated directly, but is updated implicitly by control flow instructions (JMP, CALL, RET etc...). The only way to read the EIP register is to execute a CALL instruction and then read the value of the return instruction pointer from the procedure stack.

EIP / RIP is the address of the instruction being executed. Pausing the process at some random point and looking at EIP / RIP will almost certainly not be useful. There are literally billions of instructions executed every second- the odds of you landing on the few hundred relevant to you are negligible, let alone that you have to be able to recognize the instructions' relevancy.

Look into a CE feature called "ultimap".
