The available types CheatEngine can scan with are:
 
 
*Binary
 
 
*Byte (values between 0 and 255 or -128 to 127 if signed)
 
 
 
 
Which one you should choose depends on the value you want to search.
 
A value that only switches between 1 and 0 is often a Binary.
 
While any integer number (1, 3, 4599, 15686, etc...) is most often a 4 byte value.
 
Strictly non-integer numbers are always Float or Double. Small numbers are often Float, bigger ones Double.
 
Text is often stored as a String/Text.
