GetBattlefieldFlagPosition

[SwInY]

Hey Guys,

mind my spelling 1st of all,

Not that great at debugging if at all, trying to learn slowly.
i have made my bot pritty sucesfully now i have hit a wall murging it into a BG Bot also

i was just wondering is there any way to Actualy get these without using injection Lua
flagX, flagY, flagToken = GetBattlefieldFlagPosition(i);


Also a nother question, on map, say your in AV, how would you get if a place on the map say Icewing bunker is alliance or horde?

Open it in a disassembler.
I don't know if retrieves information for static flags or carrieable flags, it will either be stored statically in memory or fetched out of a database.

If you need that kind of logic, you'll need to inject and use the Lua API. Of course you can try and resemble what the API does for you, but the maintenance work will be unbearable.

Or just don't care and run to some specific point into the enemy base, chances are you'll get into combat en route

also the gates for SOTA would like to know whats broken and whats not.

i was thinking about that aproach, but then i thought why not make it run to a spot and do sertain things at that spot, I.E Cap flag then run 2 base, defend a gate.

be defensive more than aggressive run at a person. that way it dont look so stupid if ur running at a group of like 10. plus more honor :P

You can always take a look at those lua functions with olly or ida and see how they work.

If you don't know how to find them, search for how to find stuff

Edit: lol too late

[SwInY]

what do you think it would be under tho in the LUA function,

to find if the "capable" base is ally or horde. then how would you retreive it.
i know how to use IDA, but only to a sertain limit. aint that good at debugging.

take eye of the storm for example,
4 cappable bases. 1 flag in middle.

ive goten all the other Lua functions i need *i think

API GetBattlefieldFlagPosition - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
take a look at that, as you can see this lua function is returning all information you're looking for, if you know how the lua stack works you should be able to find out how it's retriving the values with IDA or olly easiely

thanks Xarg0,

been looking at that but i dont think thats the lua function at all,
infact i dont think there is a Lua function at all for what im trying to get at.

im not to sure where its held at? possibly a dynamic or in the database about the "base" cap's whos in charge of what base and what not.

I took a look at API GetBattlefieldFlagPosition - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft and it's quite obvious and straightforward.

It acquires the Vec3 struct with the real world coordinates of the flag, then translates them to 2D map coordinates.

Time to pickup a book or follow some reversing guides sir.

thanks Robske, will look into it.
