Help me fix my object manager :)

[aeo]

Hello all,

As a last resort im going to post here in hope someone can help me solve this issue( probably a stupid mistake). Right now i have a basic LUA function calling application that i would like to expand upon by writing some c++ functions using the object manager and then register them for use in my lua scripts.

My problem lies with the code below. I never run into a time when my local GUID and the object GUID match. I'll admit im not an expert with pointers but im working from within the process and( endscene detour) and it seems that my GUIDs for the object come back like so. The object type seems to be working as when i log it i get correct values in the range 1-7.

objGuid 11070632
objGuid 11070632
objGuid 11078928
objGuid 11095056
objGuid 11070632
objGuid 11095056
objGuid 11070632
objGuid 11070632
--------------player 0x6482207
--------------playerBaseObj 0x0
--------------playerGuid 105390599

As you can see they are different lengths and I have repeats for GUIDs( are they not supposed to be unique?)

My looping code is posted below. If someone could point out my error or at least point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks,
Aeo

you are reading the wrong location for the GUID. There are multiple places where you can find the GUID for an object, one is
[[objectBasePtr + DescriptorFieldsOffset] + GuidOffset]

I figured it was something like that, Ok i will look at the recent dump thread and the object descriptors. I was trying to avoid using them as it just another thing ill have to read and search about but thats ok, more knowledge in the end,.

Thanks xalcon.

Going to hope someone sees this and knows the answer instead of starting a new thread. Now that i understand and can locate/dump these descriptors my self. How does one find the "DescriptorOffset" in this case 0x4? Same thing for player and object xyz? I've searched and the only consensus I can come to is that 1) they don't change too often 2) when they do ,fire up cheat engine move around and you'll find the addresses relative to your player base?

Edit, got the position working via get position call for units.
