 So this instruction works on the player's and the combatants' health, probably shared by all actor objects in the game. So I think that the actor class will hold some kind of "Decrease Health" function that the player inherits.

 Now there are different ways of handling shared instructions, we could look at the structures to find a unique identifier. But since we have a good base address for the player we can just check against that to determine if the actor is the player, no need for guess work here.

 Note: The "Coord. Hook" must be enabled to have access to the "ptrCoordBase" symbol, if not enabled then this script will fail on syntax check and on injection.

-And here I am betting that the "+348" is our health max which is just 4 bytes down from our health (this is so common that I always check around the value's address for it's maximum, but this was my thinking when first learning) so let's add that to the table. If it looks good then let's add it to the script, so if the health maximum goes up the script will still fill it.
