int To char*

[CrAzY_-7865]

Hello everyone!

 

Could someone help me understand how to convert this (int) Read_Global to char *?

 

int Read_Global(int GlobalID)
{
	int Pointer = *(int*)((TunablesPointer - 0x04) + (((GlobalID / 0x40000) & 0x3F) * 4));
	if (Pointer != 0)
		return *(int*)(Pointer + ((GlobalID % 0x40000) * 4));
	return 0;
}
//to
char* Read_Global(...

This is a general c++ question, not a GTA specific question. A very simple and common one too. If you are trying to modify tunables for use in online, I would rethink it seeing as you've gotten stumped here.

 

Use a template, recast the return value to your template type.

You can't use a 32bit value to represent a pointer on x64 architecture. You should use a pointer type such as uintptr_t:

auto Pointer = *(uintptr_t*)((TunablesPointer - 0x04) + (((GlobalID / 0x40000) & 0x3F) * 4));

this is for PS3... is not good auto, because not compile.
