Complex Address for Pointers

[Ivanpm]

Well, It's not really what the title says but I couldnt find the appropriate name. Anyways I found the pointers but it is the pointer when my player is #1 in the server. But i found out that when im #2 it sums C0F0 to the address when i was #1.

Note: This numbers don't have to do with score, it is only the number you were given by the server when you entered.

So every time i get more # eg. #3 sums C0F0 from #2 and so on so i made this Complex address which works but I don't know if there is an easier way to make this with Script or any other features of MHS.

Complex Address i did was

module.exe+0x30E833+C0F0*1

module meaning my module i didnt write that, and the * # meaning the player i am so if im player say 5 then it would be "*5".

You may be wondering how i know which player # i am, but there is an address that tells you. I was wondering if i could write in the complex address something like:

module.exe+0x30E833+C0F0*(the value of the address 0x00blabla).

Sorry if i wrote too much or if this may be in the wrong section meaning that this can be done with l spiro script easily D:

well you could write a script that reads the address that tells which player you are and then uses *# depending on which player you are. something like...

Code: Select all

extern BYTE playerNumber = {"module.exe", 0xA38}; //or whatever offset really is

void On_HK_GAME_EXE_0( DWORD dw1, DWORD dw2 ) {

if (playerNumber == 1) {
        complexAddress = module.exe+0x30E833+C0F0*1;
}
if (playerNumber == 2) {
        complexAddress = module.exe+0x30E833+C0F0*2;
}
 
        complexAddress = ;
}



then it will always have complexAddress be the correct pointer.
thats not exact script (im lazy and newbie scripter) but it should give u an idea of what i mean. that way it will automatically check which player you are and use the complex address that is correct when u press your hotkey or however else u set it up. i have used this method with teleport locations in games depending on what game map your on.

If you already know the address of the “magic number” (index into an array) then why don’t you just use it instead of hard-coding the number?

module.exe+0x30E833+C0F0h*[ADDRESS OF MAGIC NUMBER]

Replace bold text only.

C0F0h <--- What is this h for Mister Spiro.

It has to do with the magic number's address?

C0F0h <--- What is this h for

it makes the the number hexadecimal.
though he could also do 0x ( if im right)
