How to start scripting?

[Woci]

Good morning, everyone,

I am a "user" of tables that the creators kindly make available in this forum. For some time now I have been feeling the need to want to learn (and contribute), as well as "use", to create tables or cheats.

Could any experts direct me on what to study in order to learn how to create tables and scripts?
I currently know how to use basic CE, but I am not yet able to search for Pointers or create Scripts.

Thank you all in advance

Lots of good tutorials on youtube from Cheat The Game and Steven Chapman to get you started.

I am new as well. So far finding pointers has been the best for me. Not crazy hard. Also learning the "types". So far ive been able to do most everything with 4byte and Float.

I try to generate 3 pointer maps for whatever im trying to modify. Then pointer scan on the 3rd one and compare it against the first two. That seems to give me solid pointers to use.

Using Pointer Scans is mostly obsolete nowadays. The more efficient way of doing it would be an AoB Injection. For that to be "useful" you'd need some level of understanding of the Assembly Language, as you'd get lost quite quickly otherwise. That's surely better than using pointer scans though, and definitely way faster as well.

What are the advantages of AoB Injection? Can that method persist through game updates?

Yes it can if you patch the right instruction usually not a jne je jmp to code offset, or caller etc.
