Cheat Engine

NightEternal · Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:34 pm Post subject: Possible to Break on a Value?

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible for Cheat Engine (or any other debugger) to break on an instruction after some part of memory becomes a specific value.

For example, I'm looking for a value of 295911152. I would like to run my game as normal, and as soon as some memory (it may also be a register) owned by the process becomes that value, I'd like the debugger to break.

I could do the same thing manually by executing an instruction, search for a value, run the next instruction, search for a value... etc.

I know this would be fairly CPU intensive, but for the application that I'm running, it has a small memory footprint to begin with.

Thanks

I don't think CE can do that, so unless you create your own debugger, I can only think of code caving, compare the value to 295911152, if its not 295911152 simply jump back to continue executing the code and if it is 295911152, go to an address with a breakpoint on it.

Should be something like:

Olly can break on it in byte from the dump window.
