[Question] Select a Target With Memory Reading

[fukmeimbroken]

Hey there,

I have a question about selecting a target. SelectTarget() works just with injection or am I wrong?

With click to move I don't see an action typ to just select a target since ctm even with a guid it won't select, just move to it.

At the moment I press an attack because on first attack it will auto select an mob. But if there are 2 or more mobs attacking me it selects one random.

Is there a way to select a mob by his guid without injection?

Greetings

Press Tab, read the targets GUID. If it matches the one you want to target, great. If not, press Tab again. Rinse and repeat.

Calling CGGameUI__Target is the best way to go.

Any you can just rewrite current target GUID, or write it to LastTargetGUID and press Target Last Target hotkey.

Anyway, CGGameUI__Target is the best

HAHHAHAHA how dumb can I be

So simple but effective...I was going to inject just for selecttarget()...your way is like 2 seconds slower but Out of Process thanks.

No problem. Just make sure you put a maximum amount of times attempting to press tab, or you may start going through an infinite loop, if for some reason the target you want to target is untargetable (i.e. dead)

Yes I save all attackers in an attackerlist. So I just do a foreach attackerlist.count loop through it.

        public static bool SelectTarget(ulong guid)
        {
            for(i=0;i<Objm.AttackerObjectList.Count;i++)
            {
                PostMessages.SendKey(PostMessages.VK.VK_TAB);
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200);
                if(Objm.Player.TargetGuid==guid)
                    return true;//Found our target
            }
            return false; //Target must be dead or vanished
        }

Works for me.

Thanks again

Write your desired target's GUID to the lasttarget-Guidfield and press the Targetlasttarget-button.

He did say without injection, flo

Now I have a question as well : is it possible for the wow server to change the target on the client, and if so : anyone know in what opcode it happens? (or is it just an UPDATE_VALUES ?)

Another method would be WorldToScreen. Assuming you have a list of all GUIDs around you, and you have the GUID of the object you want to target, you can call Object.X, Object.Y and (optionally) Object.Z, put that through WorldToScreen, and have the mouse click at that location.

I'm pretty confident Glider utilized this method in some form.

Write your desired target's GUID to the lasttarget-Guidfield and press the Targetlasttarget-button.

Is the lasttarget Guidfield writeable or I have to inject my code like SinngerG says?

He considers memory writing as injection, which it surely isn't in this case.
And as you are already actively modifying WoW by using CTM, go for it.

Oh okay no writeprocessmemory I use. With injection I mean code injection. I'll try the lasttargetguid thing.

you are writing the ctm stuff, aren't you?
