I'm developing a bot for a game, but a thought occurred to me when trying to make it run smoother. Currently, the function to update memory values in on a timer set around 20 milliseconds, but as you would guess, can tend to either not update the memory value quick enough for the bot to perform efficiently, or just wastes processing power from reading the memory value too often. Is there any way to have my program receive a notice when the value it's looking for it updated, rather than it constantly comparing values on it's own. Also, the bot is in C#.

You could look into the game code that is writing the value. Set a hook on the calling function with an inline hook. Or use debug registers to set a hardware breakpoint on write to that memory address. Alternatively if you already found the code which is modifying that address you could just change it so it no longer does that.

Although this guy sort of 'cheats' by using Dark Byte's driver.
