[HELP] Memory offsets, questions about static and dynamic

[Shutzler]

I've just entered the scene with the means to make a AV walk around bot.

Im still at noobstage and have a ton of questions, but ill try not to yell them all out at the same time.

For my AV walking bot i need a couple things to start: player x+y coords, and battleground status. Want to start with player coords.

I have been toying with a memscanner now( spiro's ), and i manage to find some data(not usefull) using adr from this forum. Mapname and servername is one of them. I also manage to find player HP, by scanning memory for the value i see my char has.

I've tried to scan for my coords (X=82.2 for instance), but i cant find it. Where is the magic? It's suppose to be a float right? How do i find player x coord?

Done some reading and guessing player coords prolly is dynamic, which means it has different adr each time i restart(or even load new zone) wow. Ill deal with this later, right now ill would want to know how to fetch player x pos in my memory scanner(by entering a adr).

Just delete this, too stupid too post.

Find and read the numerous guides on object management and descriptor access (Jbrauman, Shynd, and the entire memory editing section)
Reverse the lua function GetBattlefieldStatus.

This really has been covered over 9000 times...

Reading and searching the forums is the key. Read the Offsets sticky. Search for BlackMagic if you are doing it in C#. Read posts from Apoc, Cypher, Shynd, Kynox. Search for source in the bot section. The answer for your question is already here so there is no reason for asking again.

And because I was helped once.

/// <summary>
        /// X, Y, Z

        public float X
        {
            get
            {
                _x = _magic.ReadFloat(_pointer + (uint)Constants.Offsets.X);
                return _x;
            }
        }

        public float Y
        {
            get
            {
                _y = _magic.ReadFloat(_pointer + (uint)Constants.Offsets.Y);
                return _y;
            }
        }

        public float Z
        {
            get
            {
                _z = _magic.ReadFloat(_pointer + (uint)Constants.Offsets.Z);
                return _z;
            }
        }

        public enum Offsets : uint
        {
            X = 0x798,
            Y = 0x79C,
            Z = 0x7A0,
           //...
        };

Imo the best way to start reversing is a mix of CheatEngine + IDA/Some other disassembler.

Search for your health, do a scan "What accesses this address". Now you should have a list of instructions which access your health. Copy an address which looks usefull and start reversing the function.
With some time and afford you should be able to learn how that game accesses ingame-objects and their properties.

thank u viano and flo8464!

lol robske, OVER 9000!!!!

yea i learned through just plain going through guides and looking at sources of stuff, probably not the fastest way but it helps...
