Can't find x position in memory with Cheat Engine

[Fecoooo]

Hi there!

I'm using cheat engine to find my character's x coordinate in the memory, I'm trying to search for the value I get in the game from the

print(GetPlayerMapLocation("player"))

code. But I can't find that value with CE. I've tried to search for float, double, int, and "All" as well, but no luck. Someone please help.

Hi,
don't know where you found this function and why you get a return value, I don't get one

GetPlayerMapPosition("player")

works for me and when I search the first value returned in CE with double, exact value (Rounded (default)) I get my x position.
Remember to search for at least 6 digits to get not too much results.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply, will try it, about the function I wrote: yeah I always mispell that function, I wanted to write the one you wrote.

I've tried what you said, still no result, I included my search settings. Attachment 14764

here's a better picture

Hi,
just tried it again with the settings, using WoW 32 bit, but I dont think this makes the difference.
You didnt press the "First Scan" button on the picture, hope thats not the mistake

Tried it with CE 6.2 yesterday, but 6.3 seems to work for me too..

Maybe try search for a double 0.1 or something and search for Increased value with Next Scan after you moved your char east in WoW.

Hey!

Still no luck, I tried this: my x was 0.4... so I searched for 0.4 than made my x 0.5 and hit the next scan, still no fitting address.

I'm using cheat engine 6.3, the wow version is 3.3.5 (12340) (it's 32 bit I suppose), my operating system is win 7 64 bit, the server I'm playing on is a private one. Do you think any of these things has to do something with my problem? I'm really out of ideas.

I guess Blizz changed the way they store the coordinates, the only possibility in this case since you play on WotLK. Did you try it with the official client?
Sorry I have no chance to check it on 3.3.5, so im out of ideas :/

Maybe there is a 3.3.5 Dump Thread with offsets for player position, dont know.

[Fecoooo]

I haven't tried with an official one and don't planning. What version of WOW you have? In the dump thread there is a static X coordinate for my corpse, it's definetly a correct value, it is 0 when I'm alive and something else when I'm dead and when I changed the value the corpse location moved on the map. I'll include an other picture about what WOW says for my corpse location, and what does CE.

I play on 5.3 and what you get looks weird

Did you ever succeed in finding the in-game coordinate of the player?

What I realized is that the value you find with GetPlayerMapPosition("player"), you cannot (to my knowledge) find in the memory, perhaps it is calculated with the function according to the current map. The only time where I found it in CE, was when I ran /run print(GetPlayerMapPosition("player")) in-game, so it was actually the chat print CE found!

The player position you can find with CE is in some kind of coordinates relative the whole continent (I think!), so the coordinates can be like x: 10488 y: 202 z: 844

To find those, just use CE and search for Float, Unknown initial value, and search for increase/decreased value after you have moved in-game. North should be x+, and East should be y+, else search for z and run up and down a hill.
