I'm having a prob finding the pointer for a float. When I do the "see what writes to this " it brings up a command that moves data from a string to a string.
It looks like this:

Thanks a lot Labyrnth. So, if i get this right, it looks like the command copys a double from address ESI (0012FAF8) to a double at EDI (02FEC088). I expected floats (4 byte/32 bit) instead of doubles (8 byte/64 bit) because the original number I found was a float.

I see that this command also will increment those addresses by 4 after the command executes, so the original addresses for ESI was 0012FAF4 and EDI was 02FEC084. Well I know EDI is correct.
But when i try to find the value at address 0012FAF4 , by adding it manually, the value just jumps around all crazy , both when i set it as a float and a Double.

I'm trying to reliably read the X-coordinate of my Vanguard location. In that game if you type /loc it gives you your coordinates. I just want to get a stable X coordinate address. SoE may have tried to make this difficult , i'm not sure. If you have a theory on how it can be done or what i'm doing wrong let me know.
