reader.SearchString("1234567890ABCDEF", StringType.Hexadecimal, 0, False)

value of type 1-dymensanl arry of long can not be coverted to systems.colletion.generic.list(of interger)

any sugestens
(im a total noob when it comes to codeing )

The "1234567890ABCDEF" is supposed to be filled with your Pointer (a value that stays the same and is the same amount of bytes away from the value you want). So say the Red Orbs has a value of 5,000 (1388 in hex) and 10 bytes before it there is a value of 56BC21. Since the Pointer starts reading at the start of the 56BC21, you'll have to add 3 to the 10 (13). So you'd do this:

METHOD 1:

Pointer = (Reader.SearchString("56BC21", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 13)
Reader.Position = Pointer
RedOrbsNumericUpDown.Value = Reader.ReadInt32

METHOD 2:

Pointer = (Reader.SearchString("56BC21", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 0)
Reader.Position = Pointer + 13
RedOrbsNumericUpDown.Value = Reader.ReadInt32

wot do i do if there ant any values the same infront of my offset

wot do i do if there ant any values the same infront of my offset

These are the Pointers I used in my Editor:

RED ORBS READER:

        RedOrbs = (Reader.SearchString("084F72625F526564", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 10)
        Reader.Position = RedOrbs
        RedOrbsUpDown.Value = Reader.ReadInt32

RED ORBS WRITER:

        Writer.Position = RedOrbs
        Writer.WriteInt32(RedOrbsUpDown.Value)

UPGRADE POINTS READER:

        Try
            UpPts1 = (Reader.SearchString("FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000004", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 24)
            UpPts2 = (Reader.SearchString("FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000004", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 28)
            UpPts3 = (Reader.SearchString("FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000004", StringType.Hexadecimal, Endian.Big)(0) + 32)
            UpgradePointsUpDown.Enabled = True
          Catch ex As Exception
            UpgradePointsUpDown.Enabled = False
        End Try
        Reader.Position = UpPts2
        UpgradePointsUpDown.Value = Reader.ReadInt32

UPGRADE POINTS WRITER:

        If UpgradePointsUpDown.Enabled = True Then
            Writer.Position = UpPts1
            Writer.WriteInt32(UpgradePointsUpDown.Value)
            Writer.Position = UpPts2
            Writer.WriteInt32(UpgradePointsUpDown.Value)
            Writer.Position = UpPts3
            Writer.WriteInt32(UpgradePointsUpDown.Value)
        ElseIf UpgradePointsUpDown.Enabled = False Then

        End If

Need to write the Upgrade Points to 3 spots, that's why there are 3 Pointers

A pointer is Static meaning it is less likely to change versus a dynamic address like the one you've found for HP.
A pointer "tells" a dynamic address what value it should be so by finding the pointer and offset and searching it, you can control the specific address it writes to or just read it altogether.
