Object buff (memory modell) [4.3.4]

[Zinko_]

Hey guys!

Im writing a bot for a 4.3.4 (15595) private server, i created a working objectmanager, and from what i understand an object looks sth like this:
[ObjectAddr+0x30] = GUID (64bit)
[ObjectAddr+0xC]+0x10 = Storage Address (this is the address from where the hp,mana,level,etc can be found through descriptors offsets)

so far so good, but I also need the buffs on the target,
i know that they are stored somewhere else and i found a pointer that sometimes points to that buff array at
[ObjectAddr+0xe9c] but it only works occasionally, so i guess it just a lucky coincidence.

What am I missing? How can i find the "buff array" consistently? :confused:

+Also how can i determine if the player is moving, and maybe the cooldowns on some spells?

Most information on a unit is stored in its descriptor array. If you search this forum you will find lots of information about how to read the descriptors.

I can find the buff array with cheat engine but that is not just a static offset from the description array start, nor a static offset from objectaddr.

Right. Reading the descriptors for an object will depend on you having found the object itself within memory already. How to do that is also well documented here on the forum.

I can find the objects, as i said i have a working objectmanager i can iterate throught it compare the GUID etc..., i just cant find the buffs in the descriptor array (i can find other thing hp, level etc)

Oh, okay. Sorry, I misunderstood your question. And actually, I checked the descriptor list for cata and it seems that auras are no longer listed there! I was going to point you to this:https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-ca...teFields.h#L35

To find where they are, I would suggest that you lookup the handler for the SMSG_AURA_UPDATE opcode within the client. Here is the format for it: https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-ca...uras.cpp#L9670
