== Find an injection point ==
Now let's find a good injection point that only accesses the player coordinates.

So select the X Coordinate address and press ''F5'', move around in game then click ''stop'' on that debugger. I tend to look for code with a full offset (i.e.: 4 bytes), and that is called constantly but not to often (like code that accesses the address 50 times a second). 

Then in the memory view form, see what addresses get accessed by the instruction. Do this but right clicking the code line in the memory viewer and select ''Find out what addresses this instruction accesses''.

Now here is where I like to add the instruction to the code list just for quick access to find the coordinates, just name it some thing like 'X Coord. Hook', maybe add 'DO NOT REPLACE:' if needed, but I always use scripts to change game code. With the instruction stored and the table saved now if the game crashes (or we restart it) we should be able to easily find the coordinates again. Just know if the game is updated then the entries in the code list may not work any more. You can add temporary scripts with AOB scans to store the base for easy finding and debugging, if needed.

Or you could just add the instructions static address to the address list. If you did an AOB scan, and you get that down to one, add the found result to the address list (Tip: Use a description that tells you what value is accessed and the game version, and add that to a group in the address list and give the group a description like "Debug", "Notes", "Value Accessors", or "Value Accessors for Game Version: 0.0.0.0").

Just use the auto assembler [[Tutorials:Auto_Assembler:Templates|templates]] for the scripts.



So let's try and find a base address for the player.
