[catlowlevel]

Tell me which feature you need from BNM?

[drakulaboy]

i want to find/hook this kind of fields from the methods that doesn't have some "Update" offset

i was looking at the example [Finding everything by names (classes, methods, fields) Finding everything by names but couldn't understand how to do a simple field hook

[nik2143]

You can't hook them without an instance of class

[drakulaboy]

can't hook them

so, for this kind of classes and fields i can't use BNM?

[nik2143]

But this isn't BNM repo You are asking on wrong repository

To get the values of the fields, find an instance of the class (in your case, this is instance). Copy the address of 'PlayerController_TypeInfo' from the 'script.json' generated by Il2CppDumper and add the base address to it GameAssembly.dll. Find the offset to the static fields (usually 0x5C for 32 bit, 0x5C * 2 for 64 bit), and add the field offset to the resulting address. Now you have the value of the field!

For example:

it is important to note that if there is no reference to the class in the instance field, then the address will be different

If you want to modify the value of a field in a class that has no Update method, find other classes that have the same PlayerController class as a field, but also have an Update method.

For example:

public class PlayerController 
{
    public float damageBullet; // 0x00

    // No Update method
}

public class Character 
{
    public PlayerController playerController; // 0x00

    // Has an Update function
    void Update();
}

the Character class contains both an Update method and a reference to the PlayerController class. with this information, you can hook the Update method. Here's an example how you'd do it with this repo:

void Update(Il2CppObject* character){
    Il2CppObject* playerController = character->getField<Il2CppObject*>("playerController");
    float damageBullet = playerController->getField<float>("damageBullet"); // Retrieve the value from the PlayerController
    playerController->setField<float>("damageBullet", 999.f);
    return character->invoke_method("Update");
}
...
REPLACE_NAME("Character", "Update", Update);

you did not necessarily need an Update method to change a field value, it can be any method inside the same class as long as you are sure it is get called

@catlowlevel this is the most simple and good explanation, and it really worked from the first time, thank you, means i don't need any BNM, yay! Case closed!
