Now that you have opened the tutorial with Cheat Engine let's get on with the next step.
You can see at the bottom of this window is the text Health: xxx Each time you click 'Hit me' your health gets decreased.
To get to the next step you have to find this value and change it to 1000
To find the value there are different ways, but I'll tell you about the easiest, 'Exact Value': First make sure value type is set to at least 2-bytes or 4-bytes. 1-byte will also work, but you'll run into an easy to fix problem when you've found the address and want to change it. The 8-byte may perhaps works if the bytes after the address are 0, but I wouldn't take the bet. Single, double, and the other scans just don't work, because they store the value in a different way.
When the value type is set correctly, make sure the scantype is set to 'Exact Value' Then fill in the number your health is in the value box. And click 'First Scan' After a while (if you have an extremely slow pc) the scan is done and the results are shown in the list on the left.
If you find more than 1 address and you don't know for sure which address it is, click 'Hit me', fill in the new health value into the value box, and click 'Next Scan' repeat this until you're sure you've found it. (that includes that there's only 1 address in the list.....)
Now double click the address in the list on the left. This makes the address pop-up in the list at the bottom, showing you the current value. Double click the value, (or select it and press enter), and change the value to 1000.
If everything went ok the Next button should become enabled, and you're ready for the next step.
Note: If you did anything wrong while scanning, click "New Scan" and repeat the scanning again. Also, try playing around with the value and click 'Hit me'.
