CastSpellById with simple memory write

[JuJuBoSc]

Hi,

First, if you have working DoString method, this method is useless, but i'm sure it can be usefull for someone.

Credits go to PocketGnome Mac bot which use this method, and thanks to Nonowmana for give me the idea

Well ok it's really simple, the goal is to get the static address of the action bar slot that you want to use, here i will use Action Bar 1, Slot 1.

The current address of Spell Id in the action bar 1 slot 1 is : 0x011F5E70 (3.2.0) ( Then +0x4 for slot 2, etc... ).


Then just write the spell id of the spell you want to cast at the specified address, and press the right key in WoW ( action bar 1, slot 1 here ).


The best things to do with this method, is to get all your spell id in your spell book, again, it's only simple memory reading, the pointer is 0x011297E0 for the first spell id in spell book, add +0x4 for next spell id until spell id = 0.

Hope it can help someone =)

Thank you, that's pretty smart! +Rep if/when i can

was wondering if anyone would post this method :P also if you hate sending keys to in-active windows (bg mode) then you can also use the same type of method for API ActionButtonDown instead.

Must I be the only one who thinks this method is very ugly?

You're not alone.

Definitely not alone.

[Nesox]

Definetly not

To me it just sounds like the smoothest way to do it out-of-process.

Backup value, write new value, press key, restore old value.

Except that it's easily detectable. So not really appropriate for a public bot (or really even a private one now that it's publicly disclosed and likely to be used by a public bot).

You're better off doing what Glider did. Just make the user put the spells on their bars, and you enumerate all the bars and buttons and match spells to keybinds. Fully passive, no memory writing necessary.

This.

Don't be lazy, especially for a public bot. Private bot.. I guess, but.. As Cypher said, it's public now.

Cypher, I'd actually like to do it this way, but yes, have been lazy

Are the keybindings stored in memory? Or do you read the key bindings text file (I'm assuming this is like the macro file in that it isn't written to until wow is closed)?

Ya. I understand that it's rather ugly. But as for now it's the only one way i know how to do it (out-of-process of course). I would be grateful for any info about another methods.
But 10x TS for spell id pointers!

[lanman92]

Yes, the keybinds are stored in memory. A good start would be searching for the spell id's of keybinds then change the spell and search for that spell id. It's an array of structs.
