Hi experts, i managed to successfully do a teleport to waypoint.
The way i find the coordinates is by doing an injection, write the X coord into a symbol "coordswaypoint" then add 4 to get Y and another 4 to Z.

This is all fine and well as normal, but the issue is that, in order to teleport to those coordinates, i need to manually copy/paste the values in "coordswaypoint" into "[coordsplayerpointer]+50" and 54.
Then i have to lock the value, and only when i move i get teleported.

Im looking for help to do a script to copy the values from
"coordswaypoint" into "coordsplayerpointer". Z is ignored because waypoint gives an invalid (always 20) value.

Going to try to represent in pseudo code what i would like to do:

To do this right, you need to do a few things.

1. Find a hook.
Prefer one that reads the coordinates the most frequently.

2. Set up hotkeys
Jump to your codecave from your hook and create placeholders for a number of actions like: save and restore.

3. Fill in the actual code
Flesh out the instructions to save and restore coordinates.

Since you already have the coordinates, you can probably omit 'save' feature unless of course you would like to save your current coordinates for easy return.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

As far as the hook goes, i tried to find one that would only write into these addresses, i used some that were heavily used and it caused crashes and stuff.

I understand your point, i think i do, but im failing to see how that approach automates the placing of the waypoint coordinates into the addresses for the player or whatever.
This is my problem, i don't know enough to be able to write a script in such a way that it would use the symbols.

So basically i need to set the value from a symbol into another symbol.
Symbol CoordPlayer = 1234(float)
Symbol CoordWaypoint = 567(float)

Lets say I got those, now how do i make it so the value 567 gets written into coordplayer? I was thinking a script that writes it until i unfreeze it.

Make sure the code you hook is running only for the player.
Or, make sure to implement a valid player check to filter out everything else.

This is how I am doing it in Death Standing:
1. Have the coding competed (as directed above).
2. Have the locations added in an array, something like this:

Im very close to getting this done, i feel the issue now is probably syntax or something like that. So i got 2 codes, one works, the other doesn't, the one that doesn't is the one that i would like to get working because would be dynamic.

What works? addresses that are the result of coordsplayerpointer+50 and coordswaypoint+10 copied into this script:
