Couple General Questions

**tim0n** · 03-28-2011

Being no novice to C++ as well as reverse engineering, I still have a few general questions to ask the more experienced hackers in WoW.

In general I am creating a new BG bot and have found a few things of use but not very much information on the following:

-Movement in WoW via a hook. Can I use the "ClickToMove" function that WoW has somewhere in it? I know you can enable this via Mouse in the menu, which leads me to think of a function I could possibly use if I set appropriate way points.
-Writing and reading to chat, how would you go about doing this? I could not find too much information on this either which is sort of puzzling as I thought it would be a major question with bot security etc.

Now since I have not had a chance to reinstall my Visual Studio (just built my new computer recently) I can't test anything until probably tomorrow night. Any help would be useful to those questions as I am still taking in information to be used when I can start the bot. I am not asking for code here, in fact I do not want code. If you want to tell me what function I am looking for to hook or work off of, that would be great, but please nothing more.

Thanks in advance.

- Yes it is possible to use ClickToMove, the address of the function has been posted in a dump thread.
- For reading chat, simply register a lua callback to the lua events that you need such as "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" or "CHAT_MSG_SAY" and you can read all of the chat types. For sending messages, simply use the "SendChatMessage" LUA API.
