Pointer Scanner for Games

ArtMoney includes pointer search tools for finding stable ways to locate game values when memory addresses change after restarting a game.

How Pointer Scanning Works

A pointer search looks for pointer relationships that lead to the address containing the required game value. Instead of relying only on a temporary address, you can search for a pointer path that remains useful when the game allocates memory differently after a restart.

Pointer-to-Pointer Search

ArtMoney provides pointer searching for pointer-to-pointer structures and supports searches through several pointer levels.

Static Addresses

For many games it is useful to restrict a pointer search to static addresses. ArtMoney also provides options for scanning only static or suitably aligned addresses.

When Do You Need a Pointer Scanner?

When a game value's address changes after restarting the game.
When you want to locate a value through a pointer path rather than a temporary address.
When creating an ArtMoney Table that should continue to locate values after a restart.

Pointer Search and ArtMoney Tables

Pointer-based addresses can be useful when preparing reusable ArtMoney Tables.
