[AutoIt] Getting target name?

[Ohsnap]

I've been reading these forums for a few weeks gaining knowledge about various things. I've come to the conclusion that beginning with AutoIt as a programming language is a wise idea before I move onto anything more advanced and my end game goal was to release something before I moved onto another language. I've hit a problem when trying to get a target name which I've searched several times but the search engine would only search for the world "Target" or "Get" which made my search worthless

Func Target()
$Target = _BMReadMemory($Handle, $STATIC_TARGET, "ptr")
GUICtrlSetData($Label6, $Target)
EndFunc

Is my code which seems to return several numbers and not an actual name. I've mixed things up a few times and it began giving me acsii characters instead. What am I doing wrong? Yes I'm useing 3.2.2 offsets. If anyone could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you.

My guess is that the STATIC_TARGET offset gives you the baseaddress or GUID of the local player target.

[Ohsnap]

$STATIC_TARGET = (0x113d7a

This is the offset that I'm useing. What is it I'm missing? All I want it for is to display my target as my bot roams in-game and possibly down the road log it with other information if I want to read what my character got up to while I was gone.

A Function from Ninjaskid ... not nice coded .. but it should work ...

thank the "developer" of Ninjaskid ... don't know the names ...

Func _WoWGetName($Handle, $ObjectBase)
Local $l_Type = _WoWGetObjectType($Handle, $ObjectBase)

Switch ($l_Type)
Case $OT_Unit
Return _BMReadASCIIString($Handle, _BMReadUint($Handle, (_BMReadUInt($Handle, ($ObjectBase + $UNIT_NAMEOFFSET_1)) + $UNIT_NAMEOFFSET_2)), 30)

Case $OT_GameObject
Return _BMReadASCIIString($Handle, _BMReadUint($Handle, (_BMReadUInt($Handle, ($ObjectBase + $GAMEOBJECT_NAMEOFFSET_1)) + $GAMEOBJECT_NAMEOFFSET_2)), 30)
Case $OT_Player ;;;;;Not Working!!!!!!!
;$ObjectBase = _WoWPlayerBase($handle)
;return ""
Return _BMReadASCIIString($Handle, _BMReadUint($Handle, (_BMReadUInt($Handle, ($ObjectBase + $UNIT_NAMEOFFSET_1)) + $UNIT_NAMEOFFSET_2)), 30)
Case Else

Return StringFormat("Unknown %s", _WoWGetTypeString($l_Type))


EndSwitch
EndFunc

Thank you mate, I'm going to go play with this then post the working product.

Sorry to bump an old post but $objectbase would be the $STATIC_TARGET = (0x113d7a correct? cause if it is then theres something going wrong cause i just get 0

Uhm, as you reversed UnitName, maybe you can help me with a bit of it

Here is what I don't understand:

 getGuidByKeyword(unitName_c, &guid, 0);
  guid_c = guid;
  if ( guid && ((_DWORD)guid != -2 || *((_DWORD *)&guid + 1) != -1) )
  {
    object = getObjectByGuidFiltered(guid, 1);
    object_c = object;
    if ( object )
    {
      objDescriptorTable = *(_DWORD *)(object + 8);
      objType = *(_DWORD *)(objDescriptorTable + 8);
      if ( (objType >> 3) & 1 )
      {
        unitName_c2 = WoWUnit_getNameInfo(object_c, (char *)&serverName_c, 1);
        goto LABEL_28;
      }
      if ( (objType >> 5) & 1 )
      {
        unitName_c2 = (char *)sub_68B480();
        goto LABEL_28;
      }

Maybe i completly misunderstood something, but as far as I remember there is a pointer to the descriptor-structure at base+0x8. But what the heck is it doing in those if-clauses here? Whats the point in shifting + checking the last byte here? (its checking dl, HeyRays just interpreted it as an AND)

It's checking the obj type.

if ( (objType >> 3) & 1 )

Is just checking the obj type flag.
It's the same as

if (objType & 8)

While

if ( (objType >> 5) & 1 )

Is the same as

if (objType & 32)

Thanks
But I don't get why that is done.
Does it really make any difference in codesize/speed ?

Well, I don't think it does. But personally I think it's a nicer format. Eg., I don't know which bit 0x40 is - if it's written like that it's a little easier to understand when you don't have the full flag enum.
(flag >> 7) & 1 - I know that bit 8 in the bitmask is being checked as opposed to (flag & 0x40). If I have the full enum, it's easier to use that format though.

It makes no difference in terms of code size or speed.

I agree however. Bit shift notation is much better than a direct bitwise AND.
