Hi, I'm trying to build an autosplit for livesplit (speedrun tool). The idea is that the speedrun is divided in splits and each time a split is passed, the livesplit program should pass to the next split. So I need to obtain the pointer for the part of the game that determine the split and trigger to the next one.

For example, I want to make it for a fanmade pokemon game, done with rpgmaker . Each split can be from one gym to the next one. I thought that the count of budges can be a good variable to look for. But I found it hard to find this value. Additionally, would be nice to be able to create more splits based on other missions (for example, pass a forest or a cave), so the game would be divided in more parts with other objectives.

I need some help finding the adress. I need ideas about how to scan, in order to find a good mark for the split, since the variable that I'm looking for is not a visible value like the "exp" of a pokemon or its "HP".

TY in advance

IIRC RPGMaker can store values in a non-standard manner. Try unknown initial value and increased/decreased scans.

Also try other possible implementations. Maybe it's stored as several boolean values and not as a single integer.

A decompiler might be helpful.

This is not a Lua related question, moved.

Hello, ty for the help.

Edit: i found the switches variables as 4 bytes variables that hace value 0 when OFF and 2 when ON. But now i cant get the static adres of this memory adress.
