You should have a fair amount of experience with C# before you start this guide, but if you want to start as a beginner...you can try! It's not too hard...and also YOU MUST have experience with cheat engine.

OK, so let's get started!

Finding a process name and detecting if it is present.

This step is not 100% necessary, but you can add nice labels and what-not that tells people if the process is present or not.

This code will detect if notepad is running if it is then a messagebox is shown telling you that one is present, if notepad's not present, a messagebox is shown telling you that one is not present. Bottomline, you have to remember this (highlighted part is vital!):

            System.Diagnostics.Process[] myprocesses = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");

            if (myprocesses.Length != 0)

                {

                MessageBox.Show("Notepad instance found!", "Instance found!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

                }

            else

                {

                MessageBox.Show("No notepad instance found!", "No instance found!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);

                }

That's it, the first step, detection of a selected process, 'myprocesses' will be used later on too, so you need to know this.
