Can't find 2nd health pointer

[seether00]

Hi, so I've been trying to fiddle with this old fan made Mega man game. Rock n Roll.

Finding it too difficult so was trying to freeze the health. It appears to be tied two addresses. Only one actually changes the value so simply in enough.

Problem is that on game over or restart, the addresses change.
I was easily able to find the pointer to the life2 address updates the health display but not the pointer for the life1 address that actually stores the value.

If I change the value of the pointer that links to life2 it just automatically reverts to the old value. so changing 24 to 28 just reverts both addresses to 24.

In the screenshot, CE is telling me to find 1197E4D0, but scanning for that hex value finds nothing. If try to freeze the process in the code list then it just crashes.

Anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong?
