How to use GetNameByVID(VID)

you're moving the VID into the ECX register which is not correct, i assume that you want to pass it as a parameter -> you would need to push it instead of moving it into ECX (assuming its typical thiscall and no fancy anti cheat bullshit exists). Additionally, you need to move a CPythonCharacterManager instance pointer into ECX in this case since its the "base pointer" of which you want to call a function. Atleast thats what i got from the few informations you provided

what I am sending here is not "vid" but mobinstanceptr;
because I tried to do it like the example you showed on the other subject.

i think i understand now, where are you getting the MobBase from? is it the aliveinstance map?

no, how can I get mobs from the aliveinstance map?

I see you posted on the thread below. I don't know how you're getting the address to GetNameByVID function, but try this:

Use colddumper/another dumper to get the GetNameByVID address. Scroll down to the end of the function and search for instructions like these (it may vary depending on the game client):

 Spoiler

mov ecx, [0x...]
push ...
add ecx,0x4
mov eax,[ecx]
call dword ptr [eax+0x8]
call 0x...

Also, the area of the function on your screenshot doesn't look right.

After finding these instructions, recreate them in a function where you return a const char * and receives the target VID as a parameter. Then, at the end of the asm code block, move the eax (which stores the return value of the function) into a const char * var you created, and return it to your function, like this:

 Spoiler

const char * GetChrName(DWORD VID){
DWORD chrPtr = 0xDEADBEEF // your ptr here
const char * name;

__asm {
mov edx, [chrPtr]
mov ecx, [edx]
push VID // pushes VID as the function parameter
add ecx,0x4
mov eax,[ecx]
call dword ptr [eax+0x8]
call GetNameByVIDCall
mov name, eax // moves eax into our var
}

return name;
}

Or, if you want the easier way, use a function pointer (__asm will be happy hehehe xD). There are some tutorials in this forum, you can search for them.

ps: the code I posted might not work exactly as it is. It may be necessary to suit it to your game.

I solved the problem, thank you everyone, I want to ask something. How can I drag an item to an in-game npc?
