I've been trying to get an entity list pointer with CE. (So I can iterate over all nearby enemies/...).
What I've tried:
I found the addresses of the HP of 2 nearby players. Did a pointerscan for both. I thought they would pretty much share a pointer path, except one offset (index in the entity pointer list), so I exported the results to a sqlite database and wrote a script that only outputs the paths that are the same (except one offset). 2 results - working fine. However, when I restarted the game both got invalid.
I'm pretty new to gamehacking, so my questions are:

I'm pretty new to gamehacking, so my questions are:
- Why do the pointer paths get invalid? Did I do something wrong or was it bad luck?
- Can you give me any hints on how to proceed? How am I supposed to find the entity list? (If there is a better method than mine)
