Hello,

I've been struggling with this for few days already. I've reviewed many threads unfortunately I couldn't make it working. I'm also newbie in assembly and prolly thats the reason.

Basically, let's say I have game functions like walking (pressing W), or opening inventory (pressing I), or opening any other window.

I would like to be able to "execute" such activity on demand without having to press the button. Initially I want to make it working in CE, then I would like to somehow trigger it from Python code.

Let's say I've already found an address related to one specific window.

It value is 257 when window is open, 1 when it's closed.
When I trace that write to this address it points me to address 008A8A5B and the full function is -

Use ultimap / code filter (under Memory View -> Tools) to search for calls

There's one or two tutorials on ultimap, and code filter is similar enough

As for actually calling the function, you'll need good knowledge of calling conventions and maybe the game engine itself. e.g. mono has its own crap to deal with:

Thank you for response @ParkourPenguin.
Wow I didn't expect it gonna be so diffcult.

Seriously there is no easier way to execute game action? I'm not even changing the way it behave, I just want to execute as it is.

It's often easy to say what you want to do colloquially but hard to do it in practice.

I guess you could try a macro-like approach and virtually press a key from another process. e.g. in CE, `doKeyPress(VirtualKeyCode)`
The game might use some other input API, however, and this might not work. You'd then have to analyze that input API and figure out what "pressing a key" means to that API yourself.
