Cheat Engine

I'm trying to make a cheat for Teardown, and they seem to be storing the ammo in a string, which is weird. I can just search for the ammo in string, change it, freeze it, and it works like that. I clicked on Find out what accesses this, and all the ones were at offset 0, so I checked the Hex option and looked for the same address, but there are no results. With pointerscanning I managed to find hundreds of pointers, but none with comparing pointermaps, and after I restarted the game, found address again, in the open pointer scan window went to Pointer scanner -> Rescan memory and typed the new address, I got one left but it doesn't even point anywhere (that was 7 levels, with 10 levels at the end I had a threadstack one)
Now I just started game hacking a few days ago and this is the first game I'm trying to hack by myself. I already found player coordinates and health, and if it matters, only the first 4 characters of the ammo's address is the same as other player related stuff
Btw if there's a way to find this string in C++ (DLL) that works for me, the problem is it's not gonna be the only string with that value

The real value won't be a string. The string will just be a reference to the real value.

you could try reversing some of these instructions and see how the ammo value is obtained, before printing it on the screen, or:

try using "unknown value" search, then you can start doing "decreased/increased" filters
if still no good results, try again unknown value search but this time using "changed/unchanged" filters

Ah okay, this is made with Lua and heavily modifiable. You can even modify the code because alot of the plain source code is visible, and editable in the data folder.
