[Question] Interacting with WoW

[CrazyCactuaR]

Hey their i'm a pretty average VB Programmer, nothing amazing really but one thing i've recently wanted to delve into is being able to advance my program from spamming keys blindly to actually taking control of the situation.

An example of this would be to spam steady shot, wait for LnL proc and then immedietly cast two Explosive Shots.

While this is obtainable by simply spamming the keys constantly it has too many flaws because of global cooldown, i'm posting here asking wether anyone knows what i need to read up on to do such things.

My end goal for this idea would be to create farming profiles for classes to take the tediousness away from the endless grind while offering near-perfect responses.

Summery what i'm after;
- Casting specific spells without keybinding everything by macroes
- Able to identify any buffs or proc's
- Able to identify wether in combat
- Ability to instantly stopcasting (spamming a /stopcasting macro fails on certain classes)
- Being able to move the camera 90 degree angles (to allow multi-directional hunter disengage and mage blink)

Thanks for reading and hope i'm not asking for the impossible

Yes, you are asking the impossible. Unless you want to do screen scraping(which will only work on your comp), you have to do memory editing, where you have to learn asm

thanks for the response pia32, not exactly in the mood to learn a whole new language, can only dream i'll pick it up one day though

As you have experience in VB, I would advise you pick up a C♯ book/good reference as to be honest, there isn't a big learning curve involved, mostly just syntax differences and it would be very beneficial in more ways than just one to learn C♯.

To be honest, using C♯ & Shynd's Blackmagic dll, it's not difficult to quickly learn how to read or write to memory, theirs ton's of examples on the forum of people doing this as it's a good starting point, good luck.
