- Learn about the basics behind how to use Cheat Engine as I demonstrate practical concepts which are easy to understand for beginners.
All contents of this video are for purely educational purposes only, do not use cheat engine to cheat at multiplayer games.
Be careful during Cheat Engine's installation as it might install bloatware if you "next" through it too fast without declining the "special offers".

Here are some mistakes I made this video (Thanks to ParkourPenguin from CE Forums for pointing it out, shortened responses from forum reply):
- The . at 0:10 is a typo
- 0:07 - "Coins will typically be stored as an int value" - Doubles are used plenty often too, including for values that will only ever be presented as integers.
- "Whereas a timer, for example, would probably be either a double or a float type" - same grievance as the previous point but to a far greater extent. I've seen literally dozens of representations for time in games.
- 1:09 - forgot about "byte"
- 1:12 - "I'm going to select 'all' for type" - That's going to slow down your scans significantly in a game with a lot of memory (tutorial process has very little). The overwhelming majority of integer values are 4 bytes- start with that.
- 1:43 - "This is probably the address I'm looking for" - there's a significant number of cases where multiple values correspond to the same semantics you're searching for, only one of which will actually change what you want. You should've scanned for 83 anyway even if you know it's going to be the only result in this case. Not too important given the information that follows.
- 2:55 - (text on screen) - The initial unknown value scan isn't time consuming at all- it's just a memory dump. It's the next scans that follow which could be.
- 4:01 - "I can notice that there are five values which may be interesting" - I'd do a "value between" scan with the values 0.01 and 999999. That's generally faster for me compared to manually going through the list and adding potentially interesting values to the cheat table. This isn't really noticeable in the tutorial since it has very few values.

as a novice game dev, health values aren't stored as floats/doubles in order to confuse you, they're stored like that so that enemies can do more precise damage
Fair point, tho sometimes they are done like that for obfuscation
yea@@KianBrose
Also i sometimes store health as 0 by default and then add damage till it exceeds max health
true but idk if people will use cheat engine more like mod menus
what if you store health as an string so its ppls is gonna search it as an integer or float and not gonna found it
I used to cheat in facebook games (wild ones) when i was 11, now I am 21 and pursuing my study in science computer for my degree. Cheating isnt always bad hahaha
Yep xD
Computer science....
Plz fix
Or not do what you want 👍
I just had a Facebook ad I when started the video

I only cheat on offline games, I don't wanna ruin other people fun, but as you said, cheating isn't always bad.
Important to say is that you cant manipulate numbers in most multiplayer games, because most of them run on a server and are not stored in a file on your computer.
That's actually partially untrue, you CAN manipulate the numbers on your multiplayer game, whether the server cares about what you modified locally is a different issue which leads to the concept of validation. Anything that is on your pc locally can and will be modifiable by cheat engine
@@KianBrose how do you change numbers in a multiplayer? Lets say it's an emulated multiplayer game (ex bluestacks), would that be possible?
@@KianBrose okay i finished the video sorry about the emulator question😭, but im stoll curious about the multiplayer thing
@@quet9335 You need to spoof packets in such a way the server believes the data you send it
but you can change the price of chests for example in a lot of multiplayer games idk why but it almost always works when I change the prices
We had Internet Cafe's in the Philippines in the past with a program that contains the Timer for the PC Lease. Needless to say, cheat engine helped me extend my time a bit more when I needed it most to finish my school research. 😂
Ayy nice
chadest usage i can possibly imagine
nice lmao
wtf
I had already been using Cheat Engine for years before this tutorial but I still watched, great to see another upload! Next you should do a video on using instructions to find the same value again without doing the entire scanning process. (aka finding the Hex value of the instructions that actually write the value to said address, kind of like reverse engineering it)
Yeah I was planning on doing a slightly more advanced tutorial about finding pointers and making a c++ "Mod menu" / Trainer to just modify the values without having to open cheat engine every time. Although it seems according to the replies I got on a post I made in the cheat engine forum that I made quite a lot of mistakes in this video and I'll have to start doing a lot more research in these sorts of videos to make sure nothing or very little of what I'm saying is incorrect
@@KianBrose All good. You are very good at what you do and I think everyone appreciates that you are trying to be very accurate, keep up the good content bro!
It ended up with 1.3 million strings found in the scan and it need to process it! It’s going to take forever to process it, there is no emergency button to shut down this thing as it’s doing the processing forever! It only has a message box telling me it’s busy! This is another one of those 1995 to today’s softwares that failed to has any emergency shut down codes!
It should has an option to discard and ignore all strings found that does not start with number 7 , or any number or letters! I have no idea how many digits it was in the past experience of the string zones I had found the needed the string to work on. So I have no idea how to limit the scanning zone to cut down on the results easily!
I believe force shutting down games and software under these circumstances could damage the hardwares?!

Can ı get setup file link ?

Old memories, I use to use that cheat engine in GTA 5 for increasing the number of stocks own in game.
Good old program thats almost forgotten
Great tutorial, I already knew how to use it but this was very helpfull. Currently I'm trying to modify the character's position in a 2d rpg game to access areas where you are not supossed to be at that point, since I mostly use cheat engine for that, so I did a new scan with an unknow initial value and moved my character to the right and left to increase and decrease the value. When I found where the position is stored in the code, I saw that when I move right once, the value increases by 2, so I tried to change it exactly in the place I wanted to be by counting the steps it would took me by adding 2 for each step counting from where I began, but when I change the value, for some reason the game crashses. Is there any other way to do this? or it is because the game?
(sorry if something is written poorly, english is not my first language)
Hmm a bit advanced but if you right click the position that changes you can use the "View what Writes/Accesses this address" feature, there are multiple options from there, like disabling the code from all things that access it which could be "checks" to see the value is within allowed ranges, or modify the function that modifies the position itself
Thanks man
wow man it is like a memory hit from the past 😅
very thankful btw 💛

thank you so much i have been wanting to learn this
Glad I could help!
GREAT video i need to say one of the best tutorials
This is something I played around when I was a child but didn't know what I was doing. Now, I'm studying CS and understand what I'm doing. I was wondering, whether you have the right skills to make a future video where you would go over C++ and CE? I'd really like to be able find static addresses, and then writing my own code, making my own GUI for changing values - hacking. I haven't found any good C++ + CE guides, so I think it would be really beneficial for your channel and for us!
actually, the language I prefer is c# when it comes to making mod menus due to the reason i dont actually use pointers anymore, i use something called "array of byte" AoB for scanning which had some nice libraries available for it on github
@@KianBrose Do you know yourself any good tutorials / guides on either of those? Like, I'm good at both C++ and C#, but it there's more source for C#, I'd still like to know where can I start learning making my own hack menus.
This is an old video but this has helped me change values on a game without using a cheat engine table. Thanks for the lesson and I appreciate the video
You're welcome!
This was amazing i learn so much thank you!
Np!
I have no practical use for it that I can think of but I kinda feel like learning this, it seems fun
You are such a good teacher, if you would upload more videos constantly I think you would go easily over 1 million subscribers. Thank you!
Trying but it's difficult xD
@@KianBrose I understand,...You are doing excelent until now, thanks again!

worlds best tutorial for learning game hacking
Yo man I need help with a game Im trying to use cheat engine on, Its for a rhythm game where I want to increase my ingame currency to buy new stuff etc. I made sure that the value Im looking for is the correct one and not just a display value. The problem is, whenever I change the value it gets automatically changed back despite freezing and setting the memory region to write/read. The game is offline btw so it doesnt get changed by a server or anything, do you have any idea on what I should do?
I think you might have found a “display value” which is a value that is pretty much useless, i recommend looking a bit deeper into Cheat engine, especially the “view what writes to this address” feature so you can backtrack and find the source if the currency
Nice! Will you teach about pointers as well?
Rn im working on a slightly complicated michael reeves style video, after that I'll make a vid explaining slightly more advanced cheat engine concepts (Data structure dissection, read/write), then a basic Assembly tutorial which is necessary to edit the machine code and after all that how to make mod menu's, find static addresses, figure out pointers and offsets, lots of things xD
This video came 10 years too late for sure
Best tutorial I’ve found yet! Thanks so much and now i know how to use cheat engine :)
Glad you liked it!
I dont know if you will be able to help, but i am playing a game and I maxed out a level on one of my skills. Yet through experimentation I found out that you can actually bypass the level cap by changing the level number. Since I maxed out the skill, the value is static/unchanging which makes it really hard to narrow down the value. The game uses doubled variables as well (i.e. 1 = 2, 2 = 4, 3 = 6, etc). Is there a simpler way of finding the value, rather than brute forcing it? (input 20 and keep clicking next scan to reduce the changing variables)
Hmm, unfortunately not really. Theoretically speaking you could do the process on a lower level / new account where you perform the scan. What you would then have to do is a VERY TIMECONSUMING PROCESS of:
- Browsing the memory region in hex
- Taking a perfect screenshot of the area both above and below the value you want
- Put it in a photoshop / image editing software
Then what you do is you repeat that process until you get some values NEAR the level that never change. Then you can perform something called an AoB / Array of Byte scan
Hope that helps
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should
Kian I love content of your channel, you are f***ng amazing!.
Do you know what is the fastest lib for image recognition in python?.
Cause i'm struggling with one game that i want to use a bot, and with RGB for loop its not working, maybe i need to use a multiple match image comparison, i dont know.
pyautogui and opencv are the only ones i know of
Wow, this brings me back when flash games were all the rage. Something I figured out is that a lot of in games values was stored as 4 bytes, but the the value multiplied by 8, and often another 6 added to the product. So 100 health would be 806 in cheat engine. Im sure there's a reason but I dunno why. Also the 'enable speedhack' toggle was really useful sometimes; it made the game play faster and sped up particularly boring animations or wait times. Or you could set it to 0 speed so you can get an exact number if it's rapidly changing
good old days when it was simple
Is there a way to run a game in slow motion with the sound in slow motion as well???
There's a "speedhack" option you can use in cheat engine that speeds up or slows down the game, it only works sometimes though, but there should be a variable that controls how fast things go, finding it will be difficult though
Thank you for this guide! Super helpful for single player games! Thank you!!!!!!!

even tho i change the value of gems in game and the game it says i have the set ammont of gems i put but it still does not register when i go to buy something with the gems do u know any fix?
It's server sided, the last vid I made explains that near the end
@@KianBrose is there a way to get pass that? or no
Yes, but not in a way a beginner / intermediately experienced person would know how to do it

So I tried this with Subway Surfers on Bluestacks, but whenever I change a value (coins, hoverboards, headstarts, etc.) and then I update it, it just reverts back. I think that this could be an anti cheat feature (Another var holding an encrypted version of the other one, and changing both when the update happens legitimately?)
It's a server sided value
Hell i know this is an old video, but is there anyway to alter a server sided value for perosnal gain/other reasons@KianBrose

I have a question, does the "My Cheat Tables" folder appear if i download the cheat engine version that doesn't need to be installed?
It's a folder where cheat tables are saved
there are some games that detect cheat engine , so you can copy and paste cheat engine and rename it to somthing like ¨Chat engine¨
Yup
Having a discussion with friends, is cheat software detectable on a PC after removal even if it's booted from a USB drive, will it leave small traces on the host PC that it's been used on.
You seem like a good person to ask lol
Mmm it doesn't leave traces that I'm aware of as it doesn't save any files to your computer, but just "modifies" them like a text editor

@@KianBrose It is a good video though, helped me a lot
awesome video, much appreciated. any pointers on how to change in-game models? what value am I even looking for?
Hmmm, well the issue with that is that models often don't change so they're a static number. Your best bet would be reverse engineering the app with Jadx if it's android or Ida Pro if it's windows

ok quick question
lets say for example online game with currency like r6 siege "renown" that is used to unlock operators ( i know the game isnt simply bypassed with cheat engine)
if i change the value of renown will it be checked by the game servers first?
This is one of those questions that reminds me of Schrödinger's cat, you can never know for sure whether something is server sided until you try and check

so basically theres the installer that has adware

@@somerandomcontentplayer606 ah yeah, I skipped over the installation since I just assume people have enough braincells to download the program itself without spamming "next" and installing adware

I'm thinking if you can use these to make a game bot, is it possible in python? Or other language?

Thanks for the great video! Just read in your comments that the cheats won't stay in online mode, is that only the case for games that can be played online only? Do the subway surfers cheats stay when you go back online?
Basically, cheat engine can change variables and values on your computer, this means that while you can change the variable to 9999 on your computer, when you try to make a purchase most online games don't check the value on the computer but the server, so changing the local value doesnt do anything, all depends on how the game was made
@@KianBrose thanks! What about Subway Surfers for example? I mean we can purchase stuff offline as well there, can't we?
@@WallstreetMemes The thing is, subway surfers is technically an offline shop system, it only checks the local values before accepting a purchase which is why it worked
