Confused - Descriptor help

[Steveiwonder]

Hello,

I've not used descriptors before just not really needed them to make my healbot so far. However, did some research on them how to read them etc but not getting results or stranges ones atleast.

uint isCasting;
uint p1;
uint p2;

uint pbase = MeMBM.WooW.ReadUInt(0x00CD87A;// base
p1 = MeMBM.WooW.ReadUInt((pbase + 0x + ((uint)eUnitFields.UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL /*(uint) ePlayerFields.PLAYER_XP*/ * 4));
MessageBox.Show(p1.ToString());

If im trying read any of these descriptors it returns either 0 or random numbers.

(sorry for the bad example)

Can someone point out the error of my ways? I've tried different variations of the above code, moving +0x8 around, reading it all in one line still nothing useful return.

Appreciate any insite on this.

I found this which had some explaintion and in what im basing my code on, and some other posts.

I'm going to keep searching any how.

I don't think you're reading the player base correctly.
Have a look around at how other people read the player base .. it should look something like this:
p1 = mem.read( 0x00CD87A;
p2 = mem.read(p1 + 0x34);
pbase = mem.read(p2 + 0x24);

Thanks for the reply.

Did some more research and found to do it like this.

    
 public class objectOffsets
        {       
            public static readonly uint DescriptorFieldsOffset = 0x08;
        }


private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            //MessageBox.Show("Doesn't work, need offset iz Cazstin: " + isCasting.ToString());
            MessageBox.Show("This does work! Level: " + Level.ToString());
        }   

public double Level
        {
            get { return MeMBM.WooW.ReadUInt((DescriptorFields + (uint)eUnitFields.UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL)); }
        }

public uint DescriptorFields
        {
            get { return MeMBM.WooW.ReadUInt((ObjectManager.Me.BaseAddress + objectOffsets.DescriptorFieldsOffset)); }
        }

I really have no idea if this is the best way to do it but it works for me.

Anyone got any input?

public double Level
{
get { return MeMBM.WooW.ReadUInt((DescriptorFields + (uint)eUnitFields.UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL * 4)); }
}

Chances are that you are using an enum with array indices rather than offsets for the descriptors. In order to get the right address you'll have to multiply the index by 4.

Thanks for the tip mate.
The search continues for casting offsets woop

Take a look at the lua function UnitCastingInfo and UnitChannelInfo in your favorite disassembler/debugger.

Thanks dude, still learning reversing tbh and im not the best at it. I will however take a look when the server comes back up (found some addresses, need to test)
