Cheat Engine

Hi,

I've noticed that pointers are mainly used in C and C++ but not in C# or Java. I know that finding the dynamic address will stay the same but what about pointers?

I noticed this when I was testing a few things within Java (as its the most comfortable language for me). I made a simple program to show hp / ammo with the ability to hit/heal and shoot/reload. I could find the dynamic address easily and could see the stats in the data structure. However once I close and reopen the program the address had changed (i expected this) but I couldn't seem to find any pointers.

Will this change how the cheating process is changed for certain languages?
(e.g. if i want to make a trainer that keeps setting hp to 999 even if my program was restarted)

Thanks

Yes, different languages will cause different cheating but usually easier. E.g in c# it's a lot easier to find the code you're interested in

Java is a special case as it compresses pointers , but you can always turn that off in your environment or as a launch parameter
Also you can use a jvmti agent with java to 'tag' the variables you're interested in so you can easily find them
