XYZ memory

[lut4]

Hello.

I am new to this forum, but i have read gononono64's post about making a wowbot. I have come to a place in my own attempt of making a bot, where i cant get it working properly. I am clearly missing some kind of knowledge. Well, i cant get my char rotating. I have tested my code, and it gives me position and angle of my char.

I have tried to do like this:

Func PLAYERROT()
;//The bot reads from the white list box, and the list box reads from the INI file, so thats why i use the For->Next loop
Const $TX = 71
Const $TY = 41


		
    $PX = $pXPos
    $PY = $pYPos
    $A = _ATAN2($TY - $PY, $TX - $PX)
     ;//Sometimes youll get a negitive result, and WoW Doesnt use negitive rotation(0-6.3)
        ;  we normalize this by adding (PI * 2) Done!
    If $A < 0 Then
        $A = $A + ($pi * 2)
    EndIf
     ;//Then write to the Rotation offset which turns the player towards destination or waypoint~!
    _MEMORYWRITE($UnitRotationOffset, $hWow, $A, "float")
EndFunc


PLAYERROT()

That is a modified version of a code i found on the internet. But the thing i am mostly missing is, how can you get the char to rotate. I have tried _MemoryWrite, but there is not happening anything. Maybe someone can see the flaws in my method?

I hope i meet your expectations in my thread.

p.s. like gononono64's post, this is in AutoIt 3

Simply writing your rotation to a client side struct (in this case the player's descriptor) is like overwriting the minus sign in your bank statement;
you sadly won't achieve any server side change.

try this for out of process rotation:
Movement « Shynd’s WoW Modification Journal
Or search in this forum... iirc there was a more recent thread about it

You can write to the rotation offset (and pitch) but it must be followed by a hardware action to update it. If you don't really know what you're doing, the easiest way is to send a movement key, such as the smallest turn in one direction possible. If you're not able to send a millisecond turn, you can even subtract (from your rotation) the extra that will be added. There are far better methods but this one is extremely simple.

[gononono64]

also to solve your negative angle you can go,

Global $pi = 4 * ATan(1)
if $A < 0 then
$A = $A + (2 * $pi)
endif

i have more to fix the other problem but i have to go to work right now... ill post later tonight

Excuse the sloppy code:

Func Rotate($x,$y)
	While 1
		update() ;to keep coords and rotation updated. Also has close function. You need a sort of update function

		Local $targetXY[2] = [$x,$y] ;i have a gettargetxy function so i swapped it out to make it work for other people.

		If Not Around($pXPos, $targetXY[0], 0.8) Or Not Around($pYPos, $targetXY[1], 0.8) Then ;Checks to see if current position is close to target pos.

			$angle = _ATan2($targetXY[1] - $pYPos, $targetXY[0] - $pXPos) ;Some trigonomitry
			Local $tempAngle = $angle - $pRotation ;to see the difference between the 2 angles. Used for later to check which way to turn
			If $tempAngle < 0 Then ;makes sure its not less than zero
				$tempAngle = $tempAngle + (2 * $pi);if it is, do a full circle example -1 = 259 degrees
			EndIf

			If $tempAngle < $pi Then ;if less than 180 degrees turn counter clockwise
				While Not Around($pRotation, $angle, 0.08);checks to see if current rotation is close to target rotation
					ControlSend("World of Warcraft", "", "", "{a down}");sends key to wow (wow can be minimized)
					update()
				WEnd
				ControlSend("World of Warcraft", "", "", "{a up}")
				Return
			EndIf

			If $tempAngle > $pi Then ;if more than 180 degrees turn clockwise
				While Not Around($pRotation, $angle, 0.08)
					ControlSend("World of Warcraft", "", "", "{d down}")
					update()
				WEnd
				ControlSend("World of Warcraft", "", "", "{d up}")
				Return
			EndIf

		EndIf

	WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Rotate

That should rotate your character to the target xy... after that you can send w key to move forward.

Its probably best if you figure out how this function works then create your own so u learn something.
