[c++ QUESTION]typedef and unitname

[Holdlang]

I'm trying to get access to UnitName with typedef.
CastSpellById works fine but Unitname crash the wow. :/

And yes it's 3.1.3.
Im trying this way:

long ptrUnitName = 0x006A3650;

typedef string (__cdecl * tUnitName)(string Unit);
tUnitName oUnitName = 0;

....

oUnitName = (tUnitName)ptrUnitName;
string Return = oUnitName("player");

Any idea what am i doing wrong?
Ty.

Hummm ...

If you are using lua_UnitName keep in mind that the correct signature for it is
typedef int (__cdecl * tUnitName)(luastate *L);
where L is the pointer to the luastate and you must push in the the unitid string ...

so one of the correct way to call it in pseudo code is

L = GetLuaState();
lua_pusstring(L,"unitid);
oUnitName(L);
if(gettype(L,1) == String)
name = tostring(L,1);

Different is if you are trying to call the Virtual ObjectName() ...

I highly doubt anything in WoW returns standard C++-strings.

Actually, if you really wanted to learn, you'd start at the beginning and learn the basics first like the rest of us had to.

What you ACTUALLY want to do is scrape together enough to copypasta a quick bot/hack together.

Stop being a lazy ****tard and learn the basics before you come here asking for "help" with something way out of your skill level.

i realised and i will do that.
But i think you need to cool down a little...
c++ is something i skipped in my life, but i'd like to do thinks in it now.
