Target NPC by GUID

[Ploski]

Hi,

I think the topic speech for it self. I want to code an intelligent mob selection to avoid a pull of a mob that is in range of another mob, to avoid the risk of a death. I got almost evrything, but now i got the problem that i dont know how to Target that specifig target. I got the Guid of the enemy but if i write it to PlayerUnitFieldTarget or 0x01127770 (Static TargetGUID) the Player doesnt target the enemy. Is there any possibility to target an specific GUID?

PS: Is there any offset to get the UnitFaction? To make out if an NPC is friendly or not? (searched ... with no results)

Yeah. you can use DoString+Getlocalizedtext with UnitReaction.

For the first question, use SelectTarget? Try reversing InteractUnit. Awesome stuff in there.

I dont work with injection, just with memory reading and writing, dont know if this is possible without injection, wise me up

CGObject_C * pObj = GetObjectByGUID( wGUID )

Then use SelectUnit( pObj );

For the UnitReaction check out the lua functions, UnitReaction to be exact. Figure out what they use to get the reaction between two units. You will see a call to a function which looks up the TLS, and then gets GUID LocalPlayer by using that( probably, haven't looked ). After that, there will be a call to GetObjectByGUID, and then GetGUIDByKeyword from lua_tostring or i cant remember if it will even call lua_tostring on something from lua's stack or if its passed straight away.

After it gets the guid by keyword it will call GetObjectByGUID, and then it will pass them to a function which takes two objects. Then you can use it like

UnitReaction( LocalPlayer, pOtherObject );

I'm sorry if the function doesn't go like that, I didn't look or anything. Its generally how most lua_ functions go. Good luck

GL on your treck with static addresses.

(not only static adresses, also variable adresses ^^)
okay it seems that i can forget this intend, right?

[lanman92]

Pretty much. Just use blackmagic and call UnitReaction(the lua function);

[Ploski]

I think i will convert to the "injectioners", thanks all for your help

Write your GUID into the lasttargetGUID-field and send the targetlasttarget key in WoW.
Thats working without injection.
