[1.12.1] CTM with flag 0x2 only faces north (rotation 0)

[Saridormi]

Hi, forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here but whenever I try to call the ClickToMove function with MoveType.Face (0x2), it only ever faces north instead of facing the location I want it to face.

I am calling the function like this:

mov ecx, PlayerBase
push Precision ; 0
push ctmStruct ; pointer to CTM struct in format fY, fX, fZ
push guid ; pointer to GUID (Int64)
push 2 ; MoveType.Face
call ClickToMove ; CTM function

The player base is correct, the co-ordinates are correct, the function address is correct, and I can walk perfectly using MoveType.Walk (0x4) and I can face a target using MoveType.FaceTarget (0x1) (and passing in the target GUID).

I'd appreciate any help getting location facing to work (:

How are you calling this code?

I hook EndScene to jmp to a codecave created by VirtualAllocEx

CTM is very unreliable in Vanilla. You should if possible switch to a different system for moving the character.
For facing I got a function SetFacing which works much better (will post it later when arriving at home). Setting the facing with CTM always gave problems (not facing the right direction to attack a mob etc.)

Ahh damn, I did try to reverse SetFacing first (I wanted ISXWoW-like movement) but I got stuck and wanted to get movement working faster so figured CTM would be a better choice. I'll give SetFacing another look, thanks

Edit: ok I went looking some more and found (some) success; by calling 0x7c6f30, I can update my orientation while moving and that works fine, however if I update the orientation while stood still it doesn't seem to send the update to the server... any idea how to update the orientation without just nudging the character?

Edit2: managed to find some hardware function at 0x4b7990 that I can call to nudge my character without lua, but would be much nicer to be able to call a form of SetFacing that updates the server - I'm currently working on trying to call 0x76dce0 but I'm fairly new to this so it's taking me some time

[Saridormi]

Ok, at this point I'm convinced that 0x76dce0 is related to something completely different, so unless someone else can give me a reason to believe otherwise I'm just going to assume that it's irrelevant

So far I'm still just setting my orientation with 0x7c6f30 and then nudging the character to update the server, any ideas how to update the server without nudging the character? Short of just building the packet manually I'm out of ideas..

Take a look in Script_TurnStart functions.

Failing that send a heartbeat packet by calling the function (No packet building required) and your character won't be moved, yet the server will update the location/direction

With some help from Corthezz I ended up just sending the packet manually, it's still a bit messier than I'd like but I have more important things to worry about so it'll have to wait til another day

I'll take a look at Script_TurnStart as well, thank you (:
