Okay so I'm trying to change the value of the coins in a game and I do scan increase value every time I get more coins but I end up with around 50-100 addresses that change every time I get more coins. Is there a way I can find the exact one that addresses to the coins? (Btw they are decrypted so it doesn't show the value of my current coins just a random number)

I can assure you that the values you see are not decrypted values. They are likely to be unrelated to the coin value that you speak of.

I would advise that you follow the tutorial within the Cheat Engine help menu to better grasp scanning techniques.

change half of them and see if it has an effect in the game (you may have to spend a coin to see it update)
if not, the correct address is in the other half.
repeat and hope the game doesn't crash

I have done the tutorial or as much as I could.

And in that game if I change some of these values it usually crashes.
Plus what do I even change them to because it just shows random numbers like 50259252 when my coins are like 2500

take a deep breath, and try searching again, since its encrypted and there are many aadresses, it will take some time but eventually you will get to it, crashing means you are nost likely messing with other game stuff not related to the coins, use the changed/unchanged filters, buy something or gain some coins and keep looking, you could try a searching with the value type set to 'All' too.

I managed to get it down to 18 results.
My coins atm are 7,406.
I attached a screenshot with the results how can I know what address is my coins? They all change when I get or lose coins.

edit: idk I give up I tried changing one of them and game crashed I have no clue how to find which one is the coin address

i'd say focus on the 4 byte values and change these double/float values "type" into 4 bytes, (as they are imaginary numbers and do not make sense) try freezing each one and see if it works, if not, you can try 'find out what writes the address' option on each one and disable the asm instructions to see if they have effect
or you can do it in reverse way, freeze them all at once, if this freeze the coins, then start un-freezing them one-by-one untill you find the one that makes the coin change again

wait if I freeze them all will the coins not change in game when I get or lose any?

if you searched correctly then yes

I tried your suggestion to freeze the values I had around 56 I froze them all and my coins were still going up when I got more.
I don't understand all I'm doing is changed and unchanged value every time my coins are going up in All value type.
Maybe the game has a rly good anti-cheat?

It's 59254. Shift it right by 3 (i.e. divide by 8, floor the result) and you get 7406.

The lower 3 bits are some other data, and the rest are likely the integer value. IIRC flash used to use this a lot.

Custom type:

thanks for the information

also what does this code do?

Custom types allow conversion of arbitrary data to/from a 4-byte value (int or float). Basically it lets you search and change weird values easily.

If changing the value in CE doesn't seem to affect the game, you didn't find the right value. Try loading the game and disconnecting from the internet. If you can't play the game normally anymore, the real value probably isn't stored on your computer (give up).

okay quick question when I find the address like I did in the screenshot earlier do I just change the value to the number of coins I want and multiply it by 8?

(also the game is an online game)

since its online then ..... its most likely stored in game servers, you cant do anything about it
