GUID Question

[Grape]

Hey, Im a bit confused on the GUID from LUA and ones from Object Manager, I've got a question, I've gathered a GUID from a NPC, Object Manager via Memory Reading. And a GUID from WoW Lua.

Object Manager - uLong
17379391020558468598

WoW LUA
0xF130000DA10045F6

I'm wondering if theres a way to convert the Object Manager GUID to a WoW GUID.

If anyone could help/explain id appreciate it

I am not sure about that but i think that no conversion has to take place. It is the same value written in a different way. The first one is in a decimal format and the second one is on a hexadecimal format. The number that they represent is the same. If i am wrong someone else could correct me.

It's the same value, using the hexadecimal notation has several advantages - for one, it's easier to spot flags and is easier to format - you can use the format options of ToString to display it.

WriteLine("{0:X08}", Guid);
WriteLine(Guid.ToString("X08");

Ahhh thank you! I was expecting a much more complex problem! Thank you!

Is it possible to do lua function
UnitName(0xF130000DA10045F6)

From the GUID?

Also, if you want to understand the GUID format: XTZGZoReX / WowPacketParser / source — bitbucket.org

You need to hook GetGUIDByKeyword.

Oh wow excellent, thanks for a all the help.
I'll have to look into GetGUIDByKeyword, I'm using it as a work around because I'm having trouble finding Unit names

void *__cdecl ClntObjMgrObjectPtr(WGUID a1, int a2, char *a3, int a4) (0x0080E690 in 3.3.3a)

a1 = guid, a2 = object type, a3 = NULL, a4 = 0

TYPE_OBJECT             = 1
TYPE_ITEM               = 2
TYPE_CONTAINER          = 4
TYPE_UNIT               = 8
TYPE_PLAYER             = 16
TYPE_GAMEOBJECT         = 32
TYPE_DYNAMICOBJECT      = 64
TYPE_CORPSE             = 128

return address of object.

I'm only using Memory Editing, and Do/getString in my project so im not sure if that will work for me

How about you stop copy-pasting code and learn what the **** you are doing?

I'm just having fun making a simple bot, I'm asking for advise not code.
