[Question] CTM begins stuttering

[Naice]

Hey,

i m working on my own little gather bot everything works fine, but if the bot is running a little bit sometimes my toon gets stuttering while approaching a node (on close distance 10-15 units). Is anyone face the same issue or knows what i'm doin wrong?

the reason why i think its a wow error (maybe it comes from memwriting) is because when i restart wow everything works normal again, if i only restart the bot it is not.

You have to call it from Mainthread via injection. Else it will keep stucking.

What? You dont need to inject into the main thread for ctm to work. You can do it simply with memory writes. It sounds like your not setting the z. It also could be that your writing to 0x99535C (4.2.0a). That should have a value of 0.5 (float). If you have written something like 10 then its going to stop way b4 the node. Its like a Accuracy/precision value. Other than that I have no idea. Are you calling ctm via injection or simple memory writes?

He is just writing to structure witch does not handle error checking. Safest and easyes way is injecting. Use the search func there is a thread from apoc. Also rival has posted a c# code. You just have to fix / improve it.

Hey,

I'm not that skilled to get that injection stuff to work right now. But i am not writing to CTM Distance (0x99535C) anywhere right now in my code.
I'm just getting the idea what is good for right now. I use ATM only memory writes/reads.

Edit: but i'm definetly writing the Z value.

Edit2: Is it enough to write the Distance once or should it happen before every CTM usage?

this is probably noob question but seeing as u still coope with this after a week, i sort of have to ask

since u dont have any example to go from :

so i guess ur using a while loop checking for distance to break at, i hope u have some thread sleep in there.
having a loop clicking ctm location 100 times each frame can surely do cause "stuttering"

if this is not the case, try post the code ?

[miceiken]

I remember having this issue too when just writing to memory.

[Naice]

na i'm not wirting 100times per frame.. as you say i'm in a thread after processing it is hold for 100ms and thats the way my CTM gets fired in my pathing class:

            if (currentNode != mLastNode || Me.DistancePerTick < 1f)
            {
                mLastNode = currentNode;
                Globals.MoveTo(currentNode);
            }

i think you get the idea.. its only fired if we need to approach a new node or the speedpertick < 1f where speedpertick is the distance that the toon left between each processing tick.

again i might be mistaken, might be the weed im smoking or the beer, idk...
but i would recommend adding a thread sleep 10 after u call the moveto.. as to me it seem clicking location each time u move <1f is kinda much.
how often does DistancePerTick refresh itselfe ?
if u have this in a thread and it takes roughly 100 ms to update Me.DistancePerTick, you seem to have the thread spam clicking that location for 100ms

so.. make sure the ctm thread gets some rest ?

its refreshing each 500ms and i'm also loging every call of Global.MoveTo and there is no spamming at all.

Are you using a fly hack? Also you could set the pitch....

[Naice]

No i am not using a fly hack. But why should i set the pitch?

[hamburger12]

If you realy want to use mem write then you should just write it once in the mem. Do read the pointers and if any pointer wrong rewrite to it.
