Cheat Engine Coordinate Scanning

This unique strategy can be utilized for a vast majority of 3D games, making it a universal trick in your gaming toolbox. If you're keen on exploring the depths of this game hacking technique, dive into this introductory tutorial.

Prepping Up

Prior to plunging into the core of this guide, ensure that you have Sekiro loaded as a saved game and that Cheat Engine is correctly linked. Cheat Engine is a potent open-source tool designed to modify single-player games that operate on a Windows platform. For those who are new to Cheat Engine, you can get a feel of its basic operations on the official Cheat Engine website.

Unraveling the Concept of Coordinates

At its core, the Cartesian coordinate system acts like a guide, enabling us to pinpoint a location in a two or three-dimensional space using a series of numbers. To delve deeper into the world of Cartesian coordinates, check out this comprehensive explanation. When it comes to gaming, these coordinates represent the location of your player within the game world.

Unearthing Player Coordinates in Cheat Engine: A Stepwise Approach

Beginning with Scanning

Kickstart the process by performing a scan for an 'unknown initial float value'. Cheat Engine stands out for its ability to find values based on a variety of search parameters, making it a perfect fit for this process, as detailed in this guide.

Spotting Elevation Changes

Next on the list is changing the player's elevation in the game. Follow this up with an 'increased value' scan, and subsequently, a 'decreased value' scan after reducing your elevation. The main goal here is to find the address that controls the player's vertical coordinates by reducing the scan results to a manageable list.

Sorting and Tweaking Addresses

Once the results are condensed, organize all the detected addresses based on their values. Gradually enhance the values of approximately half of these addresses. If your player appears suspended in the air during this stage, eliminate the unselected addresses. The aim here is to pinpoint the correct address controlling the player's vertical coordinate.

Tweaking the Display Type

After locating the right address, it's essential to set the display type to 'float'. This is because the game's memory typically represents player coordinates as floating-point numbers. Discover more about this process in this tutorial.

Spotting Additional Coordinates

Helpfully, the other two coordinate addresses (generally X and Z, responsible for horizontal movement) are situated right next to the vertical (Y) coordinate in memory. Once one is located, the remaining two should be easy to find.

Customizing the Game

With all the coordinates at your disposal, you now have the power to modify the game according to your preferences, be it teleporting your character or devising your own set of game rules.
