3.3.5 ObjectManager questions relating setting position of objects

[felixdabayer]

Hey guys,
i have set-up my objectmanager class just fine and i am able to read everything from memory, like names, positions, guids, etc... i made a gui where it lists all gameobjects, npcs and players and if you click on a gameobject it will show you it's position, displayid etc...
now i want to set the position of a selected gameobject to the position of my player... i do it like this:

private void setObjectPosition(GameObject obj)
        {
            //Position Offsets
            float PosX; float PosY; float PosZ; float Rotation;
            uint XPositionOffset = 0x7D0,
            YPositionOffset = 0x7D4,
            ZPositionOffset = 0x7D8,
            RotationOffset = 0x7DC;

            //Change Position
            //Write XPos
            ObjectManager.WowReader.WriteFloat((obj.BaseAddress + XPositionOffset), ObjectManager.LocalPlayer.XPosition);
            //Write YPos
            ObjectManager.WowReader.WriteFloat((obj.BaseAddress + YPositionOffset), ObjectManager.LocalPlayer.YPosition);
            //Write ZPos
            ObjectManager.WowReader.WriteFloat((obj.BaseAddress + ZPositionOffset), ObjectManager.LocalPlayer.ZPosition);
            //Write Rotation
            ObjectManager.WowReader.WriteFloat((obj.BaseAddress + RotationOffset), ObjectManager.LocalPlayer.Rotation);
        }

if i read the position of the gameobject again out of memory and compare it to the position of my player they are the same...
but if i look ingame nothing changes... i am sure the values have changed in memory, but i think there are some other offsets i have to write to, so the game knows the objectposition really changed. can you give me a little hint on what i am missing?

You can't do it like this. (And just btw: The informations of the position on the screen are stored in the Matrix and not in the X-, Y-, and Z-Values)

[streppel]

imagine the values you are reading like a variable that's just to read them(like a label in a form)
changing them won't make the game read it and set the position

i'm sure there is a method to set the position yourself, but i'm not that deep in wow. the screenshot thread has a video on the last 10 or 15 pages where someone made a tool for emu servers to set positions,maybe you can get an idea there

okay thank you both, i thought about both your opions before too and it seems youre right... guess i just have to do deeper research into how WoW itself handles object positioning and then hooking those functions.
