Click to move problem

[melavi]

Hi there, I could really use some help getting CTM working for 4.1 (14007). I have the folllowing code:

private void MoveTo(float x, float y, float z)
        {
            BlackMagic mem = new BlackMagic(Utility.GetWowProcess().Id);
            uint ctmBase = (uint)Utility.GetWowProcess().MainModule.BaseAddress + (uint)0x1CCAA0;

            mem.WriteFloat(ctmBase + 0x8C, x);
            mem.WriteFloat(ctmBase + 0x90, y);
            mem.WriteFloat(ctmBase + 0x94, z);
            mem.WriteInt(ctmBase + 0x1C, 4);
        }

When I execute this code nothing happens, untill I manually click somewhere to CTM and then the game crashes... I have no idea what's wrong with this code, my best bet is the offsets for x/y/z/action are off.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

I have for the CTM address: ctmbase = WowBase + 0x91CE60

0x1CCAA0 is a CGUnit_C::InitializeTrackingState offset, you can't use it with memory writes...

Thanks a lot, it works great now! I was also wondering how safe it is to use. I have some conflicting information on this. On an other forum I read a post from somewhere in 2009 saying that CTM isn't safe to use. On the other hand I see a lot of people here using it, so I assume it's not a problem to use it?

I tried simulating keyboard input which kinda worked ok, but CTM feels like a much cleaner solution.

Any time you write to memory you can get detected. Warden does not scan CTM, but it could 2morrow. No one knows… Just look at HB/GB they use it.. If you want to be 99.9841% safe, use out of process...

Well if I simulate keyboard input the movement looks very bot like, I'm sure there are a lot of other players who would recognize me as a bot and report me. On the other hand CTM looks a lot more natural and has been used for a long time now (the wiki page is from 2007) without Warden detecting it.. I mean if they wanted to detect it, they've had plenty of oppertunity to do so. So I think the chance is pretty slim that they'll update Warden to detect it after such a long time (but you never know). So I'm not really sure yet what to do yet.

You can make key simulation look like CTM, it's just a bit more work.

If done properly non-CTM movement can actually produce more human-like movement. I say 'non-CTM' movement as opposed to 'keyboard' movement because you can still simulate mouse movement to do faster turning, etc. But CTM will never allow you to strafe. Also, if you ever implement any kind of local steering behavior they often operate in terms of direction, not destination.
