Cheat Engine

so I'm trying to give my character in the game(Magicka) infinite health which is easy but if an enemy does damage that's over my total health it kills me. I figure that in the code that checks if I'm dead uses a temporary variable to store the player_health - damage value. if that value is negative then it kills me. I'm not sure how to find that bit of code.

also, the same code that handles the player damage also handles the enemy damage so when I replace fld [...] with fldz(code that pushes the damage onto the float stack) I can't kill them unless I do more damage to them than they have health I need a way around that too(open to any ideas here). I figure there is some bit of distinguishing data that I can access. It's written in C# but the code is JIT compiled so code injection still works. is anyone familiar with the C# object model? where is the v-table stored(so that I can conditionally check for the player class's v-table)?

why don't you give us the instruction that decreases yours and you enemy's health ?

in the last step of cheat engine 6.2 you can find a tutorial about that.

if you have found the address that, if it's with -, you die, then check what code writes to it and nop it, that should do the trick.

Usually in object oriented programs the vtable pointer is stored as the first or second element of the class. Often ECX contains a pointer to the class

ok I figured a way to stop the game from resetting my health to 1000. so now I can raise my health high enough that no enemy can kill me in 1 hit. not what I wanted but it seems like it should do the job. unfortunately about 1/3rd the time a certain enemy casts a certain spell that hits me it kills me anyway. I have no clue how to begin to tackle that :/
