 Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2022 8:02 am Post subject: [help] Putting a value of a pointer in eax |
 |
|
Hi all,
Thanks for being here. After days of puzzling i cant figure out what goes wrong.
Current case:
mov eax, #0 // X Coords
This puts the value #0 into eax which is used as an X coord. This works.
But now i want it to listen to a different value, one not specified by me but by a pointer.
The pointer im talking about is:
[[0180C114+A34]+24]+68
Im trying to do it like this but this doesnt work:
mov eax,[0180C114]
mov eax,[eax+A34]
mov eax,[eax+24]
mov eax,[eax+68] // X
How can i get the value of that pointer and put it into eax? |

| Code: |
lea eax,[0180C114]
mov eax,[eax+A34]
mov eax,[eax+24]
mov eax,[eax+68]
|
that should do. |

I tried this out but it also crashes the application.
This is the full code i tried:
| Code: |
mov ecx,eax
mov eax,[esp+0C]
lea eax,[0180C114]
mov eax,[eax+68]
mov eax,[eax+24]
mov eax,[eax+A34]
mov [eax],eax // X
pop edi
mov [eax+04],#100 // Y
pop esi
ret 0004 |

Update: I got it working when directly inputting the address where the pointer leads to. so the code was like this:
| Code: | mov edx, [0D98370C]
mov [eax],edx// X |
so i know that when i have the pointer working, it should work. But sadly i have no luck with the pointer yet. |

edit for context: this was a response to a post TsTg removed
That's wrong- you're not dereferencing the first node, and the last offset isn't 0.
| Code: | lea eax,[0180C114] // same as `mov eax,0180C114`
mov eax,[eax+A34]
mov eax,[eax+24]
mov eax,[eax+68] // eax is now the value of the pointer, not the address
// mov eax,[eax] // this is not a pointer- it would likely crash the application
// this pointer path is basically [[[0180C114+A34]+24]+68]+0 |
| Code: | mov eax,[game.exe+1234]
mov eax,[eax+A34]
mov eax,[eax+24]
lea eax,[eax+68] // eax is now the address of the value you want
mov ecx,[eax] // ecx is now the value at that address |
If you're in 64-bit code, replace eax with rax.
Basically the code in the first post should've worked (unless it's 64-bit and not 32-bit). Post the full script (maybe the problem is somewhere else), and clarify what you mean by it "doesn't work": does the script fail to enable, or does it crash the process?

Sadly it still crashes.
What i found out was that when using eax the game would crash with this code:
| Code: | mov eax, [0D92D88C]
mov [eax],eax// X
|
But when running:
| Code: | mov edx, [0D92D88C]
mov [eax],edx// X |
it works.
So i also changed all what you said to edx as the working example here, and it still crashes  |

This is sooo awesome!
the script now succesfully gets the value  my cheat now starts to work bit by bit.
thanks for helping me understand my problem guys! |
