Auric__ Hello, are you there. I hope so.

[Frank Wallace]

thanks for replying to my post..i did not think anybody would reply...i am
only 13 and English is not my first language but i will try to describe what
i am trying to do...

well iam trying to make "Artifical Inteligence " with the game
Starcraft...and i need to know that code to make this happen.. i dont
Understand PEEK or POKE...... and i want it to do..so when the address of
money is 50 then make a probe as i do other stuff.... and hopefully sometime
make it gathermoney.....
and its a memory value in STarcraft for minerlas the correct address is
this,..4FD4A0 i want it so when i hotkey the building and i enable the
"program" when i have 50 money it will press 1p which will select the
building and build a worker......also if u can help me with the sendkeys
command when i make a button and make it sendkeys 1p after i hotkey the
building in the game..i think it goes to fast or something it just selects
the builing........"Sendkeys "1p") what am i doing wrong....???

if you can help me...that would be great.

thanks,

Frank.

Hello,

Could someone please help me with this Visual Basic problem.

I need to know whats the code for this:

If address 29292929(making it up)= 50 then
sendkeys "1p"

What is that supposed to be the address of? Is that meant to be a memory
location?

Methinks you need to be a bit more detailed with what you're trying to
do with that bit of pseudo-code.

Don't top-post, Frank. I'm here, just been thinking on it. I'm also not
the only person here, y'know, others know more than I do.

Here's a Google search on Peek and Poke in VB:
http://www.google.com/search?q=(%22v...+vb)+peek+poke

This page (the first returned) has a decent implementation but no
explanation:
http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=6758

Basically, you'll need to use the (undocumented) GetMemx and PutMemx
(where x is 1, 2, 4, or 8) API calls. You need to already know the
memory address you want to play with.

As for sendkeys, all it does AFAIK is place characters in the keyboard
buffer. If sendkeys is going too past, place a pause between keypresses,
like this:

SendKeys "1"
Sleep 100 'API call, wait about 1/10 of a second
SendKeys "p"

One problem specific to Starcraft is that you must have the right
building selected to build your probe, and that might be on the other
side of the map as the raging battle you're currently directing. A
better thing to do would be:

SendKeys "^2" 'or whatever it is to set a new location
SendKeys "1" 'to the main building
Sleep 100
SendKeys "p"
SendKeys "2" 'back to your current worries

Also, I don't remember if jumping to locations automatically selects the
building or not.

DON'T TOP-POST!

If I was to implement an auto-build function, I'd find out what
Starcraft does when you tell it to build a new probe. It's going to
modify a memory location somewhere, it's just a matter of finding out
which location and what happens to it. (My guess is it reserves a byte
or 2 in memory and then gives that byte a non-zero value to represent
what's to be built when it gets to that slot. But that's just a guess.)
