So I found that my problem is because both values use adc (add with carry)... and i don't know what to properly do to both avoid a crash, and to properly nop the correct function. If anyone knows of a tutorial that will properly show me what to do with adc functions or has an explanation of what to do, it would be much appreciated.
Dont NOP the ADC opcode.
First you will have to find a code cave where you can write your amended code FIRST, then make a JMP to that code, obviously JMP'ing back to the game code (after you first JMP).
What where you trying to change the ADC to? If a NOP that wont work, as that OPcode probably works out other things at the same time.
Spore is not the easiest of games to train, you will have to find out what the stacks hold, what values and addresses the registers contain, to find out if you can single out your own ship/creature.

I assume that the code that I was trying to NOP was not only the OPcode for my health, but other thing's health as well. I was trying to change the code from it's original value to a nop, so that the player's health would no be affected by damage. Do you have any tuts that show more in depth of what to do? most tuts that I have seen are very basic ones, I have seen a few one code caves, but they seem slightly difficult to understand.
I've taken a look at a few of your tuts DABhand, I understand the majority of the tut... In particular I am speaking of the Basic Assembly Tutorial. I'm trying my hardest to understand it, because as a programmer I am always wanting to expand my knowledge of coding, and creating a trainer is always something that interested me. I have seen many people rip off other people's code (such as h4x0r), and I disagree with his methods, I want to find the values on my own. And probably create ****ty trainers to start out, and slowing increase the quality of my trainer.
I already have my trainer giving infinite items by NOPing the line that changes the value when using the item, so that you can have "infinite", when in reality it just simply is not decreasing the value. It works fine, and I have tested it on several different things. It does not work on items in your cargo, but rather items that are not in your cargo. Those items can be used as many times as you wish.
It doesn't have a fancy GUI, but then again I am simply using TMK to create the GUI.

As I understand it, adc [esi+0x38], eax, means add esi(source) and 0x38 together, and then carry that value to eax. What I am trying to do is simply make it so that the value for eax is simply unmodified for the player. I understand that I should probably have started with an easier game, or read more tuts, but I have read a bunch of tuts. And what I have seen with easier games is they simply tend to use the same type of OPcode for most values, so me simply making it so that my "Unlimited Items" works would be the same as creating a trainer for most simpler games. I understand a bit of asm, and I am trying to figure out what to do with different pieces of OPcode, so that no matter what OPcode is thrown at me when I am making a trainer, that I can handle it. And adc seems to be my downfall. I understand what it does, I think at least. And I want to know how to properly patch the code to do what I want.

My trainer currently has 2 buttons, An Unlimited Items On, and Off. The code I am using for this is the following:
ON: Poke 1050B97 90 90 90
OFF: Poke 1050B97 29 46 7C
This works fine.
