[Guide] How to start fishing in theory [no code]

[xalcon]

This is realy funny. This thread was supposed to teach other people how something could be achieved but it turns out, that there are a lot of very simple things which I have to learn too. Thank you Robske for pointing me to apoc's thread. The FSM concept is amazing!
I am a little ashamed that I've ignored the "Programming"-section in this board until now.

for "no check animation" - you can use

local IS_BOBBING = 0xD4 -- actually UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS

self.bobber.obj <- player object ptr
local eObjectFields = readInt(self.bobber.obj + IS_BOBBING)
if ( bit.band(eObjectFields, 1) ~= 0 ) then -- bobbing
......

Well, this does not removes the need to check it in a given interval (even when using a state machine)... and this one requires one mem read more than reading it directly out of the animation offset.

It depends on the architecture of your framework, most bots here are written in a 'pulse' driven style (via an Endscene detour), in which case you read the state of the bobber every 'pulse'.

If you want to be notified when a certain variable changes you have, by my knowledge, only 2 options: you either monitor the value or you detour the functions that mutate the value.

Hi there!

Is anyone out there? Anyways, the mouseoverguid returns me nil for the bobber ingame, and the bot doesn't work because of it, any similar issues?

Note that, strictly speaking, you don't even need to detect when a fish bites to successfully fish. If you just pull up the bobber after 12 seconds or so (experiment!), you'll catch the fish about half the time.
