attacking/targeting - looking for help.

[Dronic]

Hi.

I would like to create targeting in my bot. Unfortunately I have some problems with that.
That is a code what I found:

procedure Attack(name:string;typeof:string;id:integer);
var
i,target,attacking:integer;
nazwa:String;
PacketBuffer: array [0..200] of byte;
ProcessID: Cardinal;
begin
for i:=1 to 149 do
Begin
nazwa:=MemReadString(BATTLELIST_start+i*156+Distance_Name);
if ((nazwa=name) and (MemReadInteger(BATTLELIST_start+i*156+Distance_IsVisible)<> 0)) then
begin
if typeof='name' then target:=MemReadInteger(BATTLELIST_start+i*156+Distance_ID);
if typeof='id' then target:=MemReadInteger(BATTLELIST_start+id*156+Distance_ID);
end;
end;
MemWriteInteger(Target_ID,target,SizeOf(target));
attacking:=MemReadInteger(Target_ID);
GetWindowThreadProcessId(FindWindow('TibiaClient',Nil), @ProcessID);
packetBuffer[0] := $05;
packetBuffer[1] := $00;
packetBuffer[2] := $A1;
CopyMemory(@packetBuffer[3], @attacking, 4);
SendPacket(ProcessID, @PacketBuffer, TRUE, FALSE);
end;

The problem is that I don't know how could I make it work. I should make a button, but I don't know what should I write there.
At this moment it looks like that:
attack ('Goblin', 'monster', 1);
Do not ask me why 'monster', and why '1' I was just trying...

@edit
It's unselecting monster when monster is already selected (by myself).

nvm I dont really know Delphi, I just started taking classes in it, maybe I can help you in a few months :P

You're incorrectly using the function.

Before copying a code and pasting it on your project, try to understand what it does.

This function gets 3 parameters:
-1st: the creature's name that you want to attack;
-2nd: the "way" you want to find this target. It can be 'name' or 'id' (which actually isn't the creature ID but it's INDEX/POSITION on the battlist)
-3rd: the creature index on the battlelist (the param is only used if you put 'id' on the 2nd param);

Eg.:

Attack('Dragon','name',0);

The function will attack the FIRST Dragon it can find on the battlelist.

Attack('Dragon','id',3)

The function will attack the creature that is on the 3rd index of the battlelist IF it's a dragon.

*on my opinion, this second option is really useless / dumb*

Unfortunetly it sending wrong packets to the game and it doing nothing.
Check it:
GAMECLIENT1>( hex ) 05 00 A1 54 72 61 69 //b3
That's the packet what bot is sending.
05 00 A1 59 0B 00 40
That's the packet what could be. It's working wrong. Have you got any other attacking procedure?

[Ash Katchup]

The attacking packet has the following structure:
-05
-00
-A1
-Creature ID
-Attack count

You can take a look at: https://code.google.com/p/tibiaapi/s...ttackPacket.cs

Unfortunately i'm not into packets so i can't help you more than this...

Also there is a few ways to attack a creature:
-Through packet (as you're doing)
-Clicking on the battlelist / clicking on the screen
-Hooking an internal function
