Regarding WOW Objects and identifying:

[ShoniShilent]

thanks to the many good posts and feedback from forum members i have a working program that parses through the nearby units/objects. this is the beginnings of an automated program or bot like program. i still have some lingering questions:



how do i determine what the objects are? i am using the template given elsewhere in these forums:

enum eGameObjectFields {
OBJECT_FIELD_CREATED_BY=0x0,
GAMEOBJECT_DISPLAYID=0x8,
GAMEOBJECT_FLAGS=0xC,
GAMEOBJECT_ROTATION=0x10,
GAMEOBJECT_STATE=0x20,
GAMEOBJECT_POS_X=0x24,
GAMEOBJECT_POS_Y=0x28,
GAMEOBJECT_POS_Z=0x2C,
GAMEOBJECT_FACING=0x30,
GAMEOBJECT_DYN_FLAGS=0x34,
GAMEOBJECT_FACTION=0x38,
GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_ID=0x3C,
GAMEOBJECT_LEVEL=0x40,
GAMEOBJECT_ARTKIT=0x44,
GAMEOBJECT_ANIMPROGRESS=0x48,
GAMEOBJECT_PADDING=0x4C,
TOTAL_GAMEOBJECT_FIELDS=0x10
};


most notably:

GAMEOBJECT_DISPLAYID=0x8,

for instance, for copper it is decimal 310. for tin decimal 315. Is there a list of all this somewhere? Or maybe I can just use

GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_ID=0x3C,

which might indicate minerals?


i also need help with factions. I need a way to identify friend from foe. I already can detect if it's a player (hex 19) or just unit (hex 9) from

TYPE_OBJECT = $01;
TYPE_ITEM = $02;
TYPE_CONTAINER = $04;
TYPE_UNIT = $08;
TYPE_PLAYER = $10;
TYPE_GAMEOBJECT = $20;
TYPE_DYNAMICOBJECT = $40;
TYPE_CORPSE = $80;


i see that there is:

NIT_FIELD_FACTIONTEMPLATE=0x74,

but there are many different outputs for this, so is there a template I can go by to identify friendly vs enemy? basically i need a way to determine if the nearby unit can be attacked or not....



any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you iterate at object list by structure like this:

struct TObject{
	DWORD dummy0;
	DWORD dummy2;
	DWORD UnitData;
	DWORD dummy3;
	DWORD count;
	DWORD ObjectType;
	DWORD dummy5;
	DWORD dummy6;
	DWORD dummy7;
	DWORD dummy8;
	DWORD dummy10;
	DWORD dummy11;
	__int64 GUID;
	DWORD dummy12;
	DWORD NextPtr;
};

ObjectType contain decimal object type like this:
1 - Item
2 - Container
3 - Mob
4 - Player
5 - Game object
6 - Dynamic object
7 - Corpse

Detailed info about type of object located if read next structure at address TObject.UnitData
For example i use structure like this:

struct TUnitData{				
	__int64 guid; 								
	DWORD type;	//8							 
	DWORD entry; 	//12							 
	float scale;	//16

1 - Item
2 - Container
3 - Mob
4 - Player
5 - Game object
6 - Dynamic object
7 - Corpse



the above list will help. i had overlooked that table. so if the object is of type 3 then it can be attacked. do you know if things like goretusks (which don't attack unless they are attacked) would be classified as Mob?



that other template you listed doesn't help to differentiate things like Minerals from Chests, from Herbs, etc. or maybe i over looked something?

thanks for the posting. maybe you or someone else can help further?

all npcs and mobs have the mob flag set. You will have to check the factiontemplate to know whether it's a friend of foe... I've created my own list so that my bot ignores critters and npcs when looking for a target, but it's _very_ incomplete...
If someone had a complete list of all 1800(???) factions i'dd be very thankful! Unfortunately the list in the server-emu forum is incorrect for the official servers 8[
My guess is, that this list is stored somewhere localy, but i have no idea where ^^

Total crap, they have aggro flags >_>

[KOS0937]

they do? where? ^^

[ShoniShilent]

Total crap, they have aggro flags >_>

i've searched through the forums but i have not seen anything like that. i believe you are correct and this is what i am looking for. where is it located? which offset or how do i access that flag?


also, is the flag aggro, neutral, friendly or something like that?
