I am reading a dynamic part of memory to grab a pointer from some assembly that's created upon instantiation.

Code:

devmodePointer:
readmem(aob_devmodePointer+A, 8)

That's the easy part. The hard part is, I need to dereference it twice and then read +5F0 from it, and then write either 1 for enable or 0 for disable.

Originally, I was going to have Cheat Engine just invert the value, set the pointer to 1 if it's 0 and vice versa, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. I have to do this in auto assembly.

What I tried was this:

Code:

[[devmodePointer+0]+5F0]:
db 1

But that gives me an error that devmodePointer is an invalid address.

This is how I have the pointer correctly working and reading as an address:

The thing before the `:` is an address, not a value. Remove the outside square brackets. The way it is now, it's like there's a third offset of 0. _________________ I don't know where I'm going, but I'll figure it out when I get there.

I have no idea what you're talking about, you're being too generic. What thing, which line, there's two lines that have a colon at the end.

"Remove the outside square brackets" is pretty specific in the context of your first post. There's only one line that has square brackets in it...

Error in line 11, This address specifier is not valid. It keeps saying devmodePointer resolves to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, but when I view it, it has the valid pointer address in it.

EDIT: It works in [DISABLE], I just can't get it to work in [ENABLE].

Code:

devmodePointer:
readmem(aob_devmodePointer+A, 8)

in the same script

first execute this code, then the other
or use
[[aob_devmodePointer+A]+0]+5f0

Yeah see that requires activating a 2nd script with another key which I had before with the pointer. I also noticed every update the offset changes and I don't feel like updating it every time they push a change, so I instead rewrote the entire script to just hijack every conditional jump where the boolean is read. It's red over 12 times and it's a lot of signatures, but I tested it on as many builds of the game I could get my hands on from torrent sites, and it works on every build. Thanks for the help anyway though.
