How to pointer scan and find offsets for any game using Cheat Engine (2020)

[@nickt4328]

who is pointer?

and why is he scanning?

[@shuttttt]

Oh my god thank you. It's truly baffling how difficult it is to find simple tutorials for CE for a beginner like me.

[@Permamiss]

My goodness, this was incredibly useful! I have watched and read several tutorials on pointer scanning, but this was the first one to mention "Generate pointermap" - most others jump straight to "Pointer scan for this address." This saves so much time and effort. Thank you so much for uploading this, dude.

[@RoxusRemo]

Thanks for this, slowly understanding the basics. Found a slightly quicker way to rescan pointers. Leave the first pointerscan open then click pointer scanner -> rescan memory, slap in your new address and make sure to select "ends in offset F8".

[@PhilArmstead]

I want to thank you for this. I followed another tutorial about cross-referencing pointer-maps but I still ended up with 53,000 results. After seeing the part you added about finding where your offset was the only one, I found four addresses and all of them were viable. Thank you very much.

[@MilesFox92]

This is insanely useful. Straight to the point + casual atmosphere make a wonderful combo

[@nashdrilla7856]

Good video. You should show next how to find the entity list from the local player.

[@armengraham6925]

Love your tutorial, short and to the point(er) :)

[@RCE]

underrated comment lmao

[@mjmares]

Bro you just made this so clear and easy, I followed GH tut and I understand it but not in depth and you cleared up some stuff for me thank you! The things you cleared up was at the begging finding memory address GH said that esi was just going to work for assualt cube but you explained the assembly instuctions and how you can assume the offset of the health and the local player & the pointer mapping was very clear and good, demonstrated well

[@HiroshiMizushima]

I know this is old, but thank you *so* much. It can be hard to wrap your head around just reading a description, but seeing it in action is much more helpful to me. 💯

[@Not2Shoddy]

What if when you look to see what accesses the value, there is no offset, it just shows for example 00756C7C - 8B 08 - mov ecx,[eax]

[@deekj3860]

This. I’m getting a warning that I’ll get terabytes of wasted space and scan for days if I do the pointerscan so I’m scared to go ahead

[@Arlan64]

Oh wow! It's a really good tutorial! I'm new in game hacking, my plan is to read a time value in a game and I needed to keep the access of this value permanently for a C# application that I'm currently programming, so I discovered the pointers, and you showed this concept really well, I understand everything and you helped me for my project, big thank you! 🔥

[@chickensprint]

Thanks mate, been struggling for years but your guide was extremely helpful, got it in one try.

[@gardenia1738]

Hi I get no pointers (zero) when I compare 2 maps! why? :(

[@爱情白痴仔]

mabey the maxl level is not right , it default 7,maybe your game is more than 7

[@tribitx]

When i scan for any pointers at all it shows there areny any. Why is this?

[@Remixt]

I don't get any results when trying this with a different game (KH3) I find the variable just fine (money in this case) , but when I do a pointer scan i get no results. The offset I've tried is 7E04, which I thought might be the issue, but even when not using any offset values i get 0 results. seems odd.

[@qrlal1234]

12B8 me too

[@fluffsquirrel]

Sorry for the late comment, but I'm trying to use this for a project where I need the address value of the position of the player in a Unity game to train a reinforcement learning bot. When I use Cheat Engine to get the addresses, multiple values show up with the exact same values. They all increase when the player moves right, and decrease when left by the exact same amount. Any idea how to narrow down which one can give me the pointer of the actual player?

[@Vituko12]

Search again and again and again, if that dosent work that means u gotty try them all

[@fluffsquirrel]

@@Vituko12 That's right! You got it 👉👉 Fortunately though I found a way around it using ultralytics. Still would be nice to have a solution though so I'll keep searching for the sake of it 🤷‍♂

[@CleoCat75]

my pointer worked for the first 3 times I restarted the game, then it just didn't work anymore like 30 minutes into my 3rd restart of the game (after momentarily working *partially* on some versions of bringing up my inventory but not other circumstances of bringing up my inventory when reacting to objects), hmm... do I need to repeat the process and try another pointer?! :) thanks!

[@TastyLemon123]

What do you do if there's no results for 'Find out what accesses this address'?

[@mrgiraffe3748]

you're using the wrong address at that point.

[@AtKiba]

Great video! I have a question, what if there is no offset when you see what accesses the address? the comparison with the pointer map doesn't give me any results :c

[@MalikTheGeek07]

You probably already fixed this but just in case. I ran my cheat engine as admin and then found some!

[@AdamVigas]

After restarting game my pointer doesnt work, i was copying your tutorial 2 times and still same problem.

[@4thHeaven]

Great video, i kinda suspect you chose the wrong HP address though. As in you chose the one that links to the displayed HP, not the actual HP (you can see the other address increases whenever you step onto a medpack, which it shouldn't if you had chosen the right address)

[@4thHeaven]

Damn what a responsetime null

[@milesbbop9563]

Does not show what's showing for you on my end. I'm using an FOV value that I can find every time but I'm not seeing an offset like you are. How come?

[@bushidoz3ro163]

What do yoiu do if it goes beyond 2 pointers? Do you include all the pointers prior to the current scan and if so what do you do if you're at 10 pointers and the value isn't dropping?

[@asyven]

How to call game functions like shot, move or drop something? For example moving, I want to move like as game controls but not change x coord as dumb.

[@Ka0us]

What happens when the offset is another address (eg: [esp+rcx])?

[@Warlock0880]

So the value of a pointer is another address, which may or may not point to another pointer? So by following that chain, I'll eventually get to the value the pointer chain references?

[@dewmi4403]

Yeah up! Do it in GTA 5, its simple and begginner work here, I will like probably, this one is liked

[@johncaballero4333]

Hello Sir, How about if you got 6 addresses? How do you do the pointer scan? All 6 addresses is needed to change value.

[@scarytuber]

my games in python and i cant see anything accessing it in instructions, how do i find the offset

[@Palmit_]

Question please.. Is it necessary to do "what ACCESSES this address" instead of "what WRITES to this address" ??

I tried doing this to create a permanent way of modifying XP in the game Stoneshard. But when I check what accesses the XP value (after confirming it's actually XP) the two

[@torinux4980]

But in some games, even if you have the pointer, the pointer resets either when you restart, or when you load a new screen/map. The whole pointer address changes and if you lock it, the game crashes.

[@zakvrr]

mm I am wondering how would I find the offset for the hello neighbor in hello neighbor 1. I am looking to make an esp but dont know how to find the offset

[@fluffsquirrel]

Late reply, but try using the ALL data type instead of exact 4 bytes. Also, the value may be different than it appears on screen, so instead start with "unknown initial value" and then for each scan, use "increased value" or "decreased value" to narrow down results

[@Nhatanh0475]

what if the RSI just showed the address and not the new address? All of them show the same address.

Thank you for this, it works. Also, is it possible to find enemy hp using unknown initial value, then narrow it down using decreased value? My initial value scan has 20 million result, scanning it everytime is so slow

I'm trying to change the price fluctuation of the stock exchange market in GTA V but I can't find any pointers to that value, and I don't know if stocks prices even rely on that value, or if that value changes according to stock prices. And I obviously tried to change and lock the value of the fluctuation and go to sleep so the market would eventually switch, I also tried using cheat tables and the game would just crash... This is actually driving me insane, do you think you could try? (PS: I KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY GET INFINITE MONEY, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW THOSE VALUES CAN BE CHANGED)

this is to keep the value even when you restart the game?

Yes if you find the right pointer then it should last until the game updates a few times

What if in the debugger I have an address + a different address * 4. eg. esi[eax + edi * 4]. I'm asking this because i'm trying to find base addresses for cod 4.

[@crapyguy1234]

Are you sure it's adding 2 addresses and not (address + (offset * 4))? If it's multiplying an address that doesn't really make much sense to me, I could only imagine it's multiplying an offset and then adding it to a base address.

[@patrickmiller69]

Ok I found out that it is setting the value of esi to the position of the brackets which happens to be an array. eax is the base address of the array, edi is the index of the array and 4 is the element size. So ill play around with the values and see what I can find.
