In this tutorial i'll show how to use the mono feature called "find instances of class"
As example game I'll use Kindergarten, as it's really small, and pretty easy, but the playerclass gets destroyed every day. (Not that you actually need to cheat in this game)

First of, I found out the address of money, then used dissect data on it and let mono dissect it for me.
That gave as result that money is inside a class called "PlayerController"

With that information you can go to mono dissect, find the class "PlayerController" , rightclick it, and then choose "Find instances of class"
After the scan is done a dialog will popup with a list of objects that look like they are a PlayerController object (do check the memory yourself if it is actually correct)

Note down the address (or doubleclick it , click on the hexview and press ctrl+g followed by ctrl+c) and go to dissect data with a PlayerController structure configured (if you don't have one, just let it dissect it for you)

Scroll down till you find money, and set the value to whatever you like

----
Invoke Method
----
Alternatively, you can use the invoke Method function with the address you just found

The PlayerController class has a "GetMoney" method which take a single(float) as parameter

So, in the mono dissector highlight GetMoney and choose "Execute/Invoke method"
Give as instance address the address you just found, or pull down the dropdown so it'll search again
Fill in the amount of money you wish in "S: single" and click ok
You'll hear the money sound, and if you look at the screen in the game you'll see the amount of money has been added

Is there a way to point to the instance after restarting the game?

you'll have to find the instance again but you can use the find instances option to help you with that

look at the code of findInstances and use that (it's all lua)
just add some extra checks like validating strings or what not

Hey does this UI support invoking a method with a type such as a UnityEngine.Vector3, or would this need to be done with a lua script?
