[Questions]

[-Ryuk-]

I hope I am allowed to ask these questions, I don't want any trouble...

Me a xwinterx and making a bot together at the moment and we have come to the decision to ask the following questions... We did search but didn't find anything that really helped.

First question:

Click to move!
I do NOT want to write values to the global CTM struct as this is to easy for warden to find me.

I do want to Call the engine function CGPlayer_C__ClickToMove. However I don't know how I do that, I tried searching and looked at Apoc thread, but it didnt explain how to use it.

Question two:
Ive been fishing and interacting using Lua_DoString() but I still get my afk debuff, whats the safest way to not go afk without sending keys?

Would it be safer to inject a dll into wow instead of writing to asm?

Any Ideas?

I belive the correct way would be to change the value of LastHardwareInput, but I wouldn't know how - I am also interested in knowing.

There is a function to call that resets the Hardware Event for you. I think Chazz or someone posted it on GameDeception.

Just look at Lua_StartMovementForward() or w/e its called (or any of the other lua movement functions).

Will let you know when I find out

Will look that up today

They are protected.

s_LastHardwareAction = 0x00AE1B7C, // 3.3.0a
s_GetTimestamp = 0x008438B0, // 3.3.0a

Just rewrite LastHardwareAction with the value you got from calling GetTimestamp.

They are protected.

That doesn't mean you can't open it in IDA/Olly and take a look what it does.

[namreeb]

They are protected.

I didn't say call them. I said look at them. As in, in IDA or some such application.

[xwinterx]

s_LastHardwareAction = 0x00AE1B7C, // 3.3.0a
s_GetTimestamp = 0x008438B0, // 3.3.0a

Just rewrite LastHardwareAction with the value you got from calling GetTimestamp.

aight, I tried this after I do the lua_dostring to cast the fishing pole and it tries to log me out. I am reading the timestamp as a uint and writing the lasthardwareaction as a uint too.

You DO understand that the GetTimestamp function is a function, right?

Incidentally, your belief that it's safer to call these engine functions than to poke in a value for CTM is sort of... wrong.

Besides using CTM to Move, is there any other reason to use it? I haven't tried using many of they other type flags mainly because I have not found a need to do so. Facing is perfectly well done through the CGInputControl::SetFacing(), and all the other interaction types, AFAIK, would be just as easily (if not more so) done through the use of the "interact" virtual function for that object. Am I missing something here?

XAutomation:
"I do NOT want to write values..."

I think his point was 1-2 mem_write to ctm vs. Lua_() Or asm.InjectAndExecute is safer. (In terms of..the other 2 methods do mem_write a LOT more times, right?)

edit: I recommend you go with something like SendKeys(wowPid, someKeys) (there are a few api's each with pros and cons) - since you want background, i forget which ones are which, look up SendMessage, PostMessage, along those lines. The turning is 100% as accurate as any function wow has.

no, I honestly didnt. I am newb but learning. am researching it more now, thanks for the info. and as far as my personal belief, I am leaving it up to everyone's opinion since I also honestly have no idea which is "safer" or not. For now I got all I need for my kelsie bot, the rest of this stuff is learning and growing to work on this other project with XAuto. I gots me a looooooong way to go! Thanks for the patience.

You need CTM (or some variant thereof) for targeted AOE spells. There may be a cleaner way to do it, but as of right now, the only way I know of to cast these spells (eg a Death Knight's "Death and Decay" spell) short of actually clicking or sending click events is by doing a CTM "left click" on the coords you want the AOE targeted.

Simple.

// Anti-AFK
__asm
{
	mov eax, 0x008438B0 ; GetTimeStamp 3.3.0a
	call eax
	mov dword ptr ds:[0x00AE1B7C], eax ; last hardware action 3.3.0a
}

CTM:

void CGPlayer_C::ClickToMove( WOWPOS *wPos, WGUID *wGUID, int iClickType, float fPercision )
{
	typedef void (__stdcall *CTM) (WOWPOS *, WGUID *, int, float );
	CTM oClickToMove = (CTM)ADDR_CLICK_TO_MOVE;
	DWORD dwObjAddr = GetObjAddr();

	__asm { mov ecx, dwObjAddr }
	oClickToMove( wPos, wGUID, iClickType, fPercision );
}

CTM Out Of Process:

	__asm
	{
		push fPercision
		push wPos
		push wGUID
		push iClickType
		mov ecx, dwObjAddr
		mov eax, ADDR_CLICK_TO_MOVE
		call eax
	};

Happy botting.
