Re: Re: [hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin

[Tom Schumann]

I want to do it from first principles.

So it was a pointer problem and that's sorted.

Now that's working but after calling a method using that process, I get an
access violation as soon as I try and call a method on the m_BotInterface
attribute (set by calling botmanager->GetBotController( botEdict ) when the
bot is created). Any ideas? I guess going through the vtable is messing
something up?

Why don’t you just use the remade headers in AlliedCoders/hl2sdk on GitHub for the game of your choice, then you don’t need all this manual vtable/offset rubbish? Would be a lot easier if that’s possible.Josh  From: Tom SchumannSent: 05 May 2019 07:48To: hlcodersSubject: Re: [hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin Excuse the late reply - this is what I'm doing:  // get this  void **ppThis = *(void ***)&(this->pObject);  // get the vtable as an array of void *  void **ppVTable = *(void ***)(this->pObject);  // the method we want is in the vtable  void *pMethod = ppVTable[this->m_EyePositionOffset]; this->pObject is the CBaseEntity * - I'm thinking maybe I should do *this->pObject because maybe I'm just getting the address of the attribute? On Mon, 3 Sep 2018 at 20:01, Asher Baker  wrote:On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 7:09 AM Joël Troch  wrote:Maybe the offsets are invalid/obsolete, you could try 2 things:- The second would be to fork the GitHub project you mentioned and apply a few changes so that it loads the engine and server binaries from the repo instead of AlliedModders's servers.

Re: [hlcoders] creating a source bot plugin

[Tom Schumann]

Excuse the late reply - this is what I'm doing:
// get this
void **ppThis = *(void ***)&(this->pObject);
// get the vtable as an array of void *
void **ppVTable = *(void ***)(this->pObject);
// the method we want is in the vtable
void *pMethod = ppVTable[this->m_EyePositionOffset];

this->pObject is the CBaseEntity * - I'm thinking maybe I should do
*this->pObject because maybe I'm just getting the address of the attribute?
