About offset

Hi, I'm new to this forum as well as using cheat engine to modify the memory values in Terraria. I have managed to acquire the player's base address, so now I can change things like mana, item's characteristics, etc. and modify them when opening the game again.
Furthermore I was trying to be able to place tiles fast as well as use the pickaxe to mine faster (I can do this last one but only by editing using the offset BC and 7C). I have noticed though that some offsets either doesn't work for me or I don't understand how to use them.
So then my question is: If I want to do the same using useTime offset to the current item regardless of its inventory slot, what should I do? Any tip or advice is greatly appreciated.

There will be a much better solution but I haven't used Cheat Engine for Terraria in a very, very long time.
1. Have an item selected in your hotbar,
2. Find the item's address by changing it's stack or w/e,
3. Right click the address -> 'Find out what accesses this address',
4. Find an instruction which runs every frame or one that runs often,
5. Click stop -> 'Show Disassembler',
6. Create an AOB script and inside it write to the offset.
7. ez cash?

This will work if the instruction you chose runs on whatever item you have selected. This isn't a great solution because if you have an item picked up and not in your inventory it won't work.

Thanks for your help. It worked.

I've been really interested in using Cheat Engine and learn to use things like the offsets since I'm new to all of it.
I was also wondering where can I learn such things on my own so I can create trainers myself on C++ sice I'm really experienced at this language.

Cool, that's just what I was looking for, I didn't know there was a forum just for that.
Thank you for sharing !

I highly recommend you find a game other than Terraria to create a C++ trainer for, it's actually not as simple as you would think because of the framework Terraria uses, however if you really want to make something for Terraria in C++ then you should YouTube 'Hacking Terraria in C++', you'll find a 3 part series showing how somebody made a trainer for it. You could also look at Qui's source on ******, iirc it's C++.
