get the address from pointer offsets.

Trying to make a function to grab an address from pointer offsets. New to pointers and tried to follow a tutorial using Pymem but write it in c# which I'm far more comfortable with. Hasn't gone so well. The function returns 0 from a correct input. Would really appreciate the help if someone knows what I'm doing wrong

        public int GetPointerAddress(int baseAddress, int[] offsets)
        {
            int bytesRead = 0;
            byte[] newAddrBytes = new byte[4];
            Program.ReadProcessMemory((int)tyexeHandle, baseAddress, newAddrBytes, 4, ref bytesRead);
            int addr = BitConverter.ToInt32(newAddrBytes, 0);
            foreach(int i in offsets)
            {
                if (i != offsets[offsets.Length - 1])
                {
                    bytesRead = 0;
                    byte[] newAddr = new byte[4];
                    Program.ReadProcessMemory((int)tyexeHandle, baseAddress + 1, newAddr, 4, ref bytesRead);
                    addr = BitConverter.ToInt32(newAddrBytes, 0);
                }
            }
            return addr + offsets[offsets.Length - 1];
        }

        public int GetPointerAddress(int baseAddress, int[] offsets)
        {
            int bytesRead = 0;
            byte[] newAddrBytes = new byte[4];
            Program.ReadProcessMemory((int)tyexeHandle, baseAddress, newAddrBytes, 4, ref bytesRead);
            int addr = BitConverter.ToInt32(newAddrBytes, 0);
            foreach(int i in offsets)
            {
                if (i != offsets[offsets.Length - 1])
                {
                    bytesRead = 0;
                    byte[] newAddr = new byte[4];
                    Program.ReadProcessMemory((int)tyexeHandle, baseAddress + 1, newAddr, 4, ref bytesRead);
                    addr = BitConverter.ToInt32(newAddrBytes, 0);
                }
            }
            return addr + offsets[offsets.Length - 1];
        }

What are you making?

MattOP•3y ago

Console app to read and write to the memory of another process The other process has an address that changes on reload so I need to use pointers, hence the function

Buddy•3y ago

What process?

MattOP•3y ago

A game called Ty the Tasmanian Tiger I have done memory writing with this game before successfully the issue is my lack of knowledge of pointers

I'm not really sure if we can provide help or it's against the server's rules 😅

MattOP•3y ago

not sure why it would be against server rules but thanks anyway

Jester•3y ago

if its against a TOS its against the server rules, and still its a little too sus maybe github or youtube has probably the answers you need
