Cheat Engine

[alihlko]

Hello, i'm new here and new to cheat engine..sorry if i've posted in wrong forum! So my porblem is alittle bit complicated and i've searched evey inch in youtube and even asked the OpenAI with no luck..
All i want is to have a pointer that points to an address but in ASM script..
i've already tried different methods :

1. tried debugging (for ex. Yaw) and made an AOB script that takes the base
of the structure that contains the values i want.. yes finally i made what iwanted always i've created my own pointers with my own offsets but sadly i've encountered alot of different problems (shared instruction code, ESI structure values are changing sometimes, sometimes when i follow the structure ESI+30 i find it changed to a p->XXXXX, and sometimes script is not enabling as i made it "assert" so it can't just find the AOB)..
long story short i've decided to use pointers instead on my scripts..
the idea is simple (grab the pointer make a symbol for it) and i've already done this but the problem this time that when i have script enabled and i die in the game, the address of my X coordinate changes when i watch the same pointer but the one not in the script.. while this ASM script doesn't fetch the new address the symbol i've made stores the old address WHY!!?

my code:
[code]
[ENABLE]
globalalloc(cave,2000)
createthread(cave)
label(pXcam pYcam pZcam pPitch pYaw pZoom)
registersymbol(pXcam pYcam pZcam pPitch pYaw pZoom)


[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+025B9830]+1A0]+8]+34]+10:
pXcam:

[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+025B9830]+1A0]+8]+34]+14:
pYcam:

[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+025B9830]+1A0]+8]+34]+18:
pZcam:

[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+0159E948]+C]+0]+6C]+804:
pPitch:

[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+0159E948]+C]+0]+6C]+110:
pYaw:

[[[["AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe"+0159E948]+C]+0]+6C]+808:
pZoom:

cave:
ret

[DISABLE]

unregistersymbol(pXcam pYcam pZcam pPitch pYaw pZoom)
[/code]
this is what happening :
so i added a manual address [pXcam] it stores the value of cam-x
when i die in the game the address stays the same (doesn't grab the new address) but it only updates the address when i Toggle DISABLED and ENABLE it again and this hits me hard as i'm planning to make a trainer and don't want to toggle off/on the base pointers script every time i finish a mission or die!
any IDEA?

A script only executes once on enable, so it is performing exactly as it should.
You will want to do something else if you want it to continually update.

There are a lot of options. You can set a timer to automatically update the addresses, you can set the pointers into cheat engine as a record for a pointer and then reference the record, you can find what writes one of those instructions and use the structure itself to update the pointers as needed, and there are a bunch of other ways but these three solve your issue the easiest.

The script, by design, can only execute when it is enabled in this instance. Unlike an AOB scan which inserts the code in the game on an enable, so would run every time the game executed that section of code, this code would run exactly once, when you enabled it. That means your pointers is rolled up into a single value at that address it is assigned. Upon execution, that pointer no longer exists in the AA script.

The record having a structure base + offset is actually being referenced as the pointer chain every 500ms (unless you changed the defaults).

If the structure is bugging out on you, then either the 'structure' isn't static as you expected or the base address changed, allowing another instruction to reuse the memory. If you are using the crazy pointers, that is likely the issue, they are correct most of the time but not always.
