    Looking for WoW camera RE advice.

    I am still very new to reverse engineering but so far i made some progress.

    I made my own pattern scanner and integrated it into a C++ app that modifies WoW Classic 1.14.0 field of view. Usually it places the FoV variable somewhere outside the main module in the memory region with a fixed size (this information made my scanner pretty fast).
    But sometimes it places the variable outside of that memory region, which forces me to turn down one of the scanner filters and thus making it scan slower.
    This is why i want to get the pointer to the FoV variable, but i dont really know how.
    I tried searching for 0x3FC90FDB value, and found a double word that was xref'd to a function

    Code:
    loc_7FF7D524FA0F:        
    minss   xmm6, cs:dword_7FF7D75A7044
    loc_7FF7D524FA17:                       
    mov     rax, [rsi+198h]
    movaps  xmm7, [rsp+48h+var_28]
    mov     ecx, [rax+5Ch]
    shr     ecx, 3
    test    cl, 1
    jz      short loc_7FF7D524FA61
    Altering the Dword indeed changes to FoV on reboot, but it also causes artifacts (The spell gcd animation gets stretched really hard and makes the game unplayable)
    So i assume this dword is used as a max value for FoV/gcd animation calculations.
    I tried the other dwords, and they either had no effect or were changing something different.
    I also tried searching for Camera manager by looking for strings, then finding the xref and trying to navigate the function, but that also had let me nowhere.

    Im stuck and i dont know how to get the pointer to the FoV value, i would highly appreciate any help that will help me become a better reverse engineer (spoonfeeding might also help, but i would appreciate if someone would actually explain the process of finding and working with CameraMgr).

    I am missing something, and i dont know what, any advice would be highly appreciated.
