keybd_event

[gavin]

Hi lads.

I'm making a simple bot and have the mouse working fine.

The problem i'm having is using keybd_event .
How can i send commands like move jump etc.
Do i have to send them directly to the console ?

I'm also wondering how to i open the console as the if i send the virtual keys for ~ it won't work maybe because of the regional codes?

Thanks

My code is as follows..

.DATA								  ; initialized data



cs_window db "Counter-Strike",0	 ;the window we want
class db 'Valve001',0			   ;window class

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Other Data section
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
.DATA?								 
csHandle dd ?				 ;buff for handle on our window
mywindow dd ?				 ;buff on handle to window we want
temphandle dd ?
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Code section
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
.CODE				


start:					   ;module entry point
   

	invoke FindWindow,	   ;Get handle to the window we want to send input to
	addr class,				
	addr cs_window	   

	cmp eax,0
	je finish
	mov csHandle,eax		 ;put handle here for later on
  
  
	invoke ShowWindow,	   ;make our game window show
	csHandle,
	SW_RESTORE
   
	invoke SetForegroundWindow,  ;make it our default
	csHandle
   
	invoke  Sleep,150		 ;give it a chance
	invoke  Sleep,150		 ;just in case ;)

	invoke EnableWindow,	  ;make it the window to accept input
	csHandle,
	TRUE



	invoke keybd_event,0a1h,0,0,0

	invoke keybd_event,0C0h,0,0,0


	invoke Sleep,1000
  
	invoke keybd_event,0a1h,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0,0
	invoke keybd_event,0C0h,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0,0
 


;loop_top:

   ; invoke mouse_event,	   
   ; MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE,	 
   ; NULL,				 ;x-axis
  ;  -10,				;y-axis
  ;  NULL,
  ;  NULL
	 

;invoke Sleep,1

   ; invoke mouse_event,
   ; MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE,
   ; NULL,
   ; 10,
   ; NULL,
   ; NULL

;invoke Sleep,1

;jmp loop_top

finish:

invoke ExitProcess,NULL		 ;return to windows
end start

Hmmm... I think you're trying to write an aimbot and that's EVIL!
No help here

TIP: MSDN

[Rick]

You're not trying to make aimbots eh?

edit...I'm slow

[gavin]

It's impossible to write an aimbot by sending data to the window.
Read the api's i'm using and you will see what i'm doing.
Btw an aimbot i assembly are you mad?
Thanks

[InternetNightmare]

OK, if it's not an aimbot, so what's the point emulating keyboard&mouse for CS? Why not M$ wrod? You could make it write poems

My guess: YOu want to turn on teh bot when you're away so it makes you jump and stuff.

(I think Cheating-Death checks for the stuff like that...)

Well...just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be better to make a bot like other people did for CS(using C/C++, Dll hooking and some SDK stuff). Unless you have a strong preference for ASM ofcourse

(And no I'm not mad...)

[gavin]

Hi lads.
The only language i know is asm.
The question still stands tho.
Thanks.

What kind of bot are you doing?
I'm just asking because they are _usually_ done server-side and not in a seperate client application.

As for running commands, I doubt you could get console commands running through a second application.
You could send window messages like WM_KEYDOWN, ect to the half-life window which would make the player move or do other things.

The easiest way to do a client-side bot is with a dll hook but since VAC2 is out its not safe to do.

Notice: The only client-side thing I had running was a clock, nothing else... Not only that I started using windowed mode so the clock became useless.
Though I did learn alot about function hooking.

[Added]
Actually, if you somehow managed to get loaded into half-life's address space and remain undetected by VAC2 you could run console commands...

- Hook cl_enginefuncs_t::pfnCmd_Args, pfnCmd_Argc, pfnCmd_Argv
- In you pfnCmd_xxx functions simply return your custom command
- Call pfnClientCommand

I think, haven't touched the client in a long time.

[gavin]

Hi Lazy .
Your name contradicts itself
Anyways man my bot is a cup of tea bot

It's all client side.

Here's the basic things i'm doing.

1 Get handle to the cs window.--> FindWindow function
2 Make our game window show --> ShowWindow function
3 Make it the window to accept input --->SetForegroundWindow+EnableWindow

All that is done.
Plus

mouse_event works perfectly.

Now the thing is keybd_event simulates keystrokes right.

window messages like WM_KEYDOWN

Are you referring to the sendmessage function?
Could i have an example please.
Thanks for your time.

[Lazy]

So your bot just moves around randomly so you don't get booted by auto afk kicking plugins?

As for sendmessage, lemme write something up really quick - it will be in C though but I'll comment it to make porting easier.
