Greetings.

So, I know the basics, searching for values and what not, and then getting an address to modify, and perhaps looking through the asm code to modify similar stuff. But I'm having problems knowing what to search for in order to hack things without any obvious 'value' to them.

For example, how would one go about hacking hit-detection in an action game (for example, making the game think you're never being hit by the enemy, or making it think you're dealing several attacks at once, etc.), or perform walk-through-wall hacks, speed hacks, etc.?

I realise what I'm asking is rather vague - and it's supposed to be, since I don't just want to be given a couple of addresses for a specific game, I want to know how to actually find it myself. So yeah, any help? The best I can come up with is things like, searching for a 1 as soon as I've been hit, and a 0 at other times, or searching for a 0 when I'm standing against a wall, and a 1 when I'm not, but that never works. So, any help? Thanks in advance.

well, seeing as i never bother with such things because itd ruin the gameplay
this comes to mind,

hit-detection: seeing as something has to reduce the amount of health you have with a certain number you'd have to trace it back all the way to the point where a `hit` is set to TRUE

several attacks at once: when you press a key its read by the process then it goes through the procedure of the action the key is bound to.
for example MOUSE1(first mouse button) would be attack for example, it goes through a check and is redirected to the attack function, its then checked by a timer and if that timer is still running you cant shoot

ive never bothered with wallhacks, id say that theres a true/false bound to X,Y,Z and if its false or true you cant walk past the x,y, or Z (dont take my word for it just seems logical to me) you'd have to be constantly walking against a wall to find that out though

i hope you know what im talking about or else dont bother with any of this and i wouldnt mind a rep point if i helped you at all i hate asking for them but i never seem to get any if i dont

I apologise - I require more posts in order to give you positive reputation. But I shall when I acquire the ability. And yes, that was helpful, thanks. Anyone else?

no need to apoligise, but dont expect people to squirt tutorials at you every game has its own way of functioning
