Actually, its a question about its useness, since i have found a lot of tutorials on how to make your code injection, but not what can be done with it

I see everyone making tutorials to find what writes and what access a specific information (like ingame health, ammo, coins, etc). When finding it, they create or change the code so AMMO will be "inc" instead of "dec" when you shoot.

My question is... isn't it much easier to find the AMMO or HEALTH value and just freeze or change it to a higher value instead of making all that work writing script? Or this code injection would work in values that cannot be just changed?

Thanks =)

Freezing is quickly writing the value
If the check if health is below 0 is done right after setting it, it can cause 1-hit kills to still kill you because the freeze won't reset it quickly enough

Setting health to above max doesn't always work either. Or the game crashes, or the whole screen is filled with the health bar, or the health gets set back to max automatically

i understand that, my question is whats the difference betwen Code Injection and Editing the value manually?

Talking about HEALTH for exemple, you can use potions that you do not have for exemple when you inject right?

What makes the code injection better then just editing the value since you cannot pass your total life anyway and you can still get killed by 1 hit kill?

Does the injection works in places that the editing do not work?

thanks

Code injection WILL stop you from getting killed in one hit because code injection can stop the damage from getting dealt to you at all in the first place. Compare this to "freezing" an address which is more like a really rapid regen that can still be overpowered by large amounts of damage at once.

Games change their code much, much less often than they change their addresses. Outside of JIT stuff, it's generally taken that code only changes when the game itself updates.

With CE's templates now, an AOB injection script is actually much faster to create than finding pointers.

How fast is it? Less than one minute for a no-direct-damage cheat that will stop direct hits and falls from killing you in Terraria, and that cheat will work every time you start the game up.

You can do more interesting stuff with code injection; like create a 2x multiplier for your exp gain, or reduce the damage you take; create a fomular that will increase your damage output depending on some variable (like strength); or remove a lvl cap...

Hell, you can even create some sort of "leveling" system to a game that doesn't even have it.
