Cheat engine tutorial for inexperience

[Mick2000]

apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to ask about how to use Cheat Engine on certain game

so far starter, i'm playing Pixel Game Maker MV named "Monster Girl Collect", rather fresh game, and as usual the HP bar in this platforming game doesn't have clear value to it so this really trouble my shitty cheat engine skill, in fact i barely able to use Cheat Engine besides modifying clear parameter value like money, so anyone got tips on how to do it?
in fact, is there any Pixel Game Maker cheat plugin like RPG Maker engine does have in community?

Best you can do without a number to start with is to search for unknown value of all types ( the type dropdown box option that says all ), let it finish then get damaged and search for decreased value after each time you take damage. If there's a way to heal, heal and search for increased value tends to speed it up. Once you find the value hope like hell it doesn't move when you change levels, but you'll have an easier time finding it as you'll know what byte type it is and should be able to at least search for an initial number before having to switch to decreased/increased value.

There's a way to create a table that will automatically find the value if you've already found it once but I've never gone through the trouble of learning that much about memory editing so I can't help on that.

that's what i learn in Cheat Engine tutorial, did exactly that and got nothing... i keep reducing my HP as i search the value (and heal myself too) and ended up with 2 value that doesn't speak "Health Point" to me because absurd numbering, try altering both and it's neither both of them
i suspect because i only search on 4 Bytes only, maybe i should try with all type values

If Pixel Game Maker MV work similar to RPG Maker MV, then addresses tend to change a lot.

Not plugin, but MTool might work.

Yeah, there are plenty of games that use float type bytes for resources ( Health, stamina, MP) that change often. You can also end up in trouble if you're using the wrong type of rounding, but it's a rare problem you'll only be able to identify when searching for exact values.

There are also games that will move the values around in memory every so often, making them impossible to find without a table or high knowledge of memory editing to create said table.
