Hello dear community,

I have this code

void *Inst;

void (*AddMoneyExample)(void *instance, int amount);
void _AddMoneyExample(void *instance, int amount) {
if (instance != NULL) {
Inst = instance;
}
AddMoneyExample(instance, amount);
}

It gets instance when AddMoney is called. It does work but can i get the address of instance so that function pointer works even addmoney is not called?

I'll wait for help thank you in advance

If you are talking about a getting a constant address/offset like methods etc, then no. Instance/objects are dynamically allocated and each time their address will be entirely different.

You can still pass the inst pointer to your function pointer and it will work, but the original function have to be called at least once beforehand

This is your best bet
C++: 
void* instptr;

void (*_addMoney)(void* instance, int amount);
void addMoney(void* instance, int amount){
  if(instance != NULL)
    instptr = instance;
    _addMoney(instance, amount);
   }
}

// A function pointer to addMoney function

void (*addMoneyPtr)(void* instance, int amount);

//Now you can call it anywhere, for example inside an update function like so

void (*_update)(void* instance);
void update(void* instance){
   if(instance != NULL && instptr != NULL){
    addMoneyPtr(instptr, <your amount>);
    }
    _update(instance);
}

Unfortunately i didnt find any update function i also tried finding a function that is called every time addmoney is called and i had bo luck. Is it possible that the instance cant be in the dump?

Anyways, putting this particular function inside an update makes no sense. You wouldn't want the money getting increased on every frame.
The point was to help you understand about your particular question and how instance/this pointer works

It's fine now i found a function that is called every time something happens in the game in the same class as addMoney and the hook look like this

void *Inst;

AddMoneyExample(void *instance, int amount);

void (*ExampleFunction)(void *instance, int param); // FUNCTION THAT IS CALLED EVERYTIME
void _ExampleFunction(void *instance, int param) {
if (instance != NULL) {
LOGD("GETTING INSTANCE");
Inst = instance;
LOGD("DONE");
}
ExampleFunction(instance, param);
}

and i dont want that every time the function is called money will be added so i use function pointer in a button

case 115:
if (Inst != NULL) {
AddMoneyExample(Inst, 99999);
LOGD("MONEY IS ADDED");
}
break;

Works like a charm
