Confused about dealing with game objects

[b9er]

So I'm trying to find my fishing bobber and I'm a little confused as to how to deal with game objects.

Like for example I want to check the type of object and then check that I created it.

do I just read curObj + 0x2 and I have my type? And then if it's a type 5 I get curObj + 0x6 to get the OBJECT_FIELD_CREATED_BY which should be the same as my localGUID?


thanks

In This Post i explained a bit about Objects

But the Basics is to loop thru all objects

localGUID = Memory.ReadUInt64(Main_Window.hproc, (ObjectManager.s_curMgr + 0xC0));
curObj = Memory.ReadUInt(Main_Window.hproc, (ObjectManager.s_curMgr + 0xAC));

 nextObj = curObj;

And then after reading w/ the Current Objects Data you do this

nextObj = Memory.ReadUInt(Main_Window.hproc, (curObj + 0x3C));
                if (nextObj == curObj)
                { break; }
                else
                { curObj = nextObj; }

So when you combine them together you get this

localGUID = Memory.ReadUInt64(Main_Window.hproc, (ObjectManager.s_curMgr + 0xC0));
 curObj = Memory.ReadUInt(Main_Window.hproc, (ObjectManager.s_curMgr + 0xAC));

nextObj = curObj;

List<Object> _Objects = new List<Object>();
while (curObj != 0 && (curObj & 1) == 0)
{

//READING DATA
    UInt64 cGUID = Memory.ReadUInt64(Main_Window.hproc, (curObj + GUIDOFFSET!));

    _Objects.Add(tempObject);

 nextObj = Memory.ReadUInt(Main_Window.hproc, (curObj + 0x3C));
    
    if (nextObj == curObj)
    { break; }
    else
    { curObj = nextObj; }
}

Object[] retValue = new Object[_Objects.Count];
_Objects.CopyTo(retValue);

Thanks.

So then curObj is the base of the offsets from there? Like if I want to read OBJECT_FIELD_CREATED_BY from each object it would be curObj + 0x6 (based on the sticky of offsets)?

Or like I I wanted UNIT_FIELD_MAXHEALTH = 0x1F

I could get it by reading the memory at curObj + 0x1F?

edit:

Or Do I have to get the curObj fields GUID and make that my base then read 0x1F?

If you'd read the thread on accessing the FIELD storage you'd know how to ^^

also your offsets are plainly incorrect, you'd never add 0x2 to an Objects base address because the pointer to that objects virtual method table is most likely 4bytes long, seems like you've got no Idea how the hole memory thing works ^_^

[b9er]

well that's why i'm asking..

What is 0x2 an offset of? the object_field base?

[Shynd]

[[curObj+0x8]+0x2*4]
Although, personally, I just read curObj+0x14 for type (I think, been a while).

[Robske]

[[curObj+0x8]+0x2*4]
Although, personally, I just read curObj+0x14 for type (I think, been a while).

They don't use the same values to indentify Object Types if I remember correcty. For instance, [[curObj+0x8]+0x2*4] would return 33 for a "Player" object while [curObj+0x14] would return 4, something to watch out for.

Now, if you wish to access any descriptor from Cypher's sticky, read from curObj+0x8 to get a pointer to correct array then add whatever offset you want using the multiplied value. (Smells fishy, not sure this is the correct terminology... correct me if I'm wrong)

So to find a fishing bobber created by you:
if (Memory.ReadInt(curObj + 0x14) == 5)
{
dwDescriptor = Memory.ReadUInt(curObj + 0x;
if (Memory.ReadUInt64(dwDescriptor + 0x6 * 4) == playerGUID)
{
//Happy stuff
}
}

Although I still call an additional getObjectName to make sure it's an actual Fishing Bobber (to exclude any kind of totem or minipet ...)

Thank you much sir. That set me straight.

Thank you too.. curObj + 0x14 is what I'll use

[Cypher]

I also use the type at 0x14. I think most people do so I'd suggest you use that in order to avoid confusion when people share code.
