Handle to actor and pointer

[roby65]

i have this code:

 

Actor.Create($ACTOR_PTR,2,#MALE01,$POS_X,$POS_Y,$POS_Z)

 

 

with a memory hacker, i get the content if $ACTOR_PTR, but it's not a pointer to the actor but a number like "3329"....

how can i get actor pointer from scm?

Hi,

I haven't understood your problem and the C++. However you can imitate the original opcode 009A.

If you want to obtain an actor pointer via its handle, you might use the CLEO opcode:

 

 

0A96: $PTR = actor $ACTOR struct

 

 

Not sure if you need it though.

If your doing C++ i think you can invoke it like this:

 

 

CActor* (__stdcall* GetActorHandle)(int) = reinterpret_cast<CActor* (__stdcall*)(int)>(0x404910);CVehicle* (__stdcall* GetVehicleHandle)(int) = reinterpret_cast<CVehicle* (__stdcall*)(int)>(0x4048E0);GetActorHandle(3329);

 

 

untested, but food for thought (note you will have to define the CActor and CVehicle structs yourself, unless all you want is the pointer in which case just change them to a DWORD)
