 There are multiple ways of injecting code into a target process. The most common methods are DLL injection and assembly injection.
-One use of code injection is for finding dynamic addresses that tend to change each time the game is run. By placing a code injection on a routine that accesses that address, like a user interface update routine, you can find the address of that specific variable. This technique is called **Injection Copies**.

 CE supports [[AOB Injection]] and [[Code Injection]] in AA (auto-assemble) scripts. [[AOB Injection]] and [[Code Injection]] are really the same thing except in case of [[AOB Injection]], the injection point is scanned and found in the code using a specific signature (AOB = array of byte) while Code Injection uses hard-coded addresses. Since [[AOB Injection]] performs a scan, it often takes some time to enable a script containing an [[AOB Injection]]. In contrast, [[Code Injection]]-based scripts can always be enabled instantly because the injection address is known.
