How to get a handle of the passenger?

[Jack]

Hi. Is this a correct use of the opcode 05E9:

 

05E7: [email protected] = car [email protected] struct 000A: [email protected] += 0x1B0 // passenger pointer (VC)05E0: [email protected] = read_memory [email protected] size 4 virtual_protect 0 05E9: [email protected] = ped_struct [email protected] handle  // ???048F: actor [email protected] remove_weapons

?

When I loop the code that I just show you the game crashes at 048F (sometimes immediately and sometimes after a few iterations - I mean sometimes the code works). I've never used that opcode before so I'm not quite sure how to proced. And I confirmed the game crashing point (048F) with Link2012 scm log. Thanks for reading this.

You should check for a valid pointer. Passenger's seat can be empty.

Yep problem solved. Thanks Wesser .

Mr jack jones i don't undestand the use of mermory hacking in vc cleo scripting.. why always it starts with 0x can you teach me..???

It's not always starting with 0x. If you decompile the scrypt then it won't have 0x. That 0x means that the address is in hex. So use that 0x only when the address is in hex:

 

000A: [email protected] += 0x1B0

 

is the same thing as:

 

000A: [email protected] += 432
