Faction [Little Snipits]

[luciferc]

So when it comes to factions of Players its as a simple as an Array to find out if your horde or alliance.

So i made this since i needed to see if its horde or alliance for my pvp bot so here you go :P.

List of Faction Id's

Example of Checking if I am Horde/Alliance

//Each Race has its own faction theres no superfaction for Horde or Alliance

        private uint FactionOffset = 0x36 * 4; //Add to Object's Base and u get ur Faction!
        //EX wow.readuint(ObjBase+FactionOffset); Results in your Faction

        //Am i Alliance?!!??! (Player)
        public bool isAlliance()
        {
            int[] allianceids = {1, //Human
            3,//Dwarf
            4,//NE
            115,//Gnome
            1629};//Dranei

            int myFac = GetFac(); //My Faction
            for(int i =0 ; i < allianceids.Length; i ++)
                if (myFac == allianceids[i])
                    return true;
            return false;
        }

        //Am I Horde?!!?! (Player)
        public bool isHorde()
        {
            int[] hordeids = {2,//Orc
            5,//Undead
            6,//Tauren
            116,//Troll
            1610};//BE

            int myFac = GetFac();//My Faction
            for(int i =0 ; i < hordeids.Length; i ++)
                if (myFac == hordeids[i])
                    return true;
            return false;
        }

Ya i know its easy, but copy pasta is always delicious!

That picture is hilarious

[g3gg0]

did you test this with deathknights?

i re-implemented the isEnemy() stuff of WoW by hand and faced
the problem that each DK race had its own race
so it worked fine for the races you have listed, but DKs had IDs
beyond 700 or so - for every DK race an own.

so i aborted it.

[g3gg0]

now tried around little...
[[playerObj] + 0xD8] is always zero..

am i missing something?

[ironmaiden187]

Func _WoWFactionID($loc,$handle)
	If $loc = "me" Then
		$Obj = _WoWPlayerBase($handle)
	ElseIf $loc = "target" Then
		$Obj = _WoWTargetObj($handle)	
	EndIf
	$lvl1Pointer = _MemoryRead($Obj + 0x8,$handle,'ptr')
	$fID = _MemoryRead($lvl1Pointer + 0x36 * 4,$handle,'int')
	return $fID
EndFunc

This works for me, it's in autoit but you should get the basic idea. Using other functions to get the objects but you shouldn't need to see that.

aah ok
[[playerObj + 0x08] + 0xD8]
ok thanks for pointing that out

[bhpushnslide]

just a noob question by why do i see alot of things like this

private uint FactionOffset = 0x36 * 4

isn't that the same as FactionOffset = 0xD8 ?

0x36 is the index, 0xD8 is the position, you do 0x36 * 4 because each index is 4 bytes.

For example:

[07:14:50]: OBJECT_FIELD_GUID = 0x0
[07:14:50]: OBJECT_FIELD_TYPE = 0x2

A GUID is an INT64 so it takes up 8 bytes so the next position is at 0x2

Anyway this has all been explained before, just search the forums :P

For 3.09, use UnitFields [0x16], which is Bytes_0. So, from the Storage array, read 0x58 [byte] = Race

You should see values like this:

    public enum Race
    {
        Human = 0x01,
        Orc = 0x02,
        Dwarf = 0x03,
        NightElf = 0x04,
        Undead = 0x05,
        Tauren = 0x06,
        Gnome = 0x07,
        Troll = 0x08,
        BloodElf = 0x0A,
        Draenei = 0x0B
    }

Using the above values, you can compute Alliance vs Horde using a simple control structure. You can also read from 0x59 [byte] = Class:

    public enum Class
    {
        DeathKnight = 0x06,
        Druid = 0x0B,
        Hunter = 0x03,
        Mage = 0x08,
        Paladin = 0x02,
        Priest = 0x05,
        Rogue = 0x04,
        Shaman = 0x07,
        Warlock = 0x09,
        Warrior = 0x01
    }

0x60 [byte] has gender information if I remember correctly.

nice post from Hyru.

i'm trying to include class colors to my PVP radar but have difficulty with the usage of "bytes_0".

---
UnitOffsets : Faction = 0x36 *4, Bytes0 = 0x16 *4
...
CurrentObject.UnitFieldsAddress = MemReader.ReadUInt32((IntPtr)(CurrentObject.BaseAddress + ObjectOffsets.UnitFields));
CurrentObject.Faction = MemReader.ReadUInt32((IntPtr)(CurrentObject.UnitFieldsAddress + UnitOffsets.Faction));

CurrentObject.Bytes0Address = MemReader.ReadUInt32((IntPtr)(CurrentObject.UnitFieldsAddress + UnitOffsets.Bytes0));
CurrentObject.Class = (byte)(MemReader.ReadUInt32((IntPtr)(CurrentObject.Bytes0Address + 0x59)));
---

while "Faction" gives correct results, "Class" ist always 0.

do i handle the Bytes0Address incorrectly?

any help is welcome

[g3gg0]

    protected int baseAddress = <object address>;

    public int DescriptorFields
    {
        get { return WoW.ReadInteger(BaseAddress + 0x08); }
    }
    public Race Race
    {
        get { return (Race) WoW.ReadByte(DescriptorFields + 0x58); }
    }
    public Class Class
    {
        get { return (Class) WoW.ReadByte(DescriptorFields + 0x59); }
    }
    public Faction Faction
    {
        get 
        {
            switch (Race)
            {
                case Race.R_HUMAN:
                case Race.R_DWARF:
                case Race.R_NIGHTELF:
                case Race.R_GNOME:
                case Race.R_DRAENEI:
                    return Faction.F_ALLIANCE;

                case Race.R_ORC:
                case Race.R_UNDEAD:
                case Race.R_TAUREN:
                case Race.R_TROLL:
                case Race.R_BLOODELF:
                    return Faction.F_HORDE;

                default:
                    return Faction.F_UNKNOWN;
            }
        }
    }

Why use a switch when u can just do a loop less code :P

[evil2]

thank you.

my mistake was using "bytes_0" as a pointer,
didn't know the values are already in there


damn, there are lot of DKs on the radar

[g3gg0]

Why use a switch when u can just do a loop less code :P

uhm...
why rewrite when it works and would have no advantage?

[Cypher]

The switch is more efficient at the ASM level.
