Hi,
i would ask of more exp hackers to make a video tutorial on structure spider and it's features

also, There's something else i would like to ask of you(experienced hackers) about structures.
let's say we have structure of enemy
enemy {
-health
-mana
-damage
}

how can i 'insert' another component in the structure? i mean, i want for every enemy to have an element 'times hit by blade', for example. i have an idea of allocating memory and for every enemy i store the starting structure address and the corresponding 'times hit by blade'. but i want to learn optimal ways to access and store these kind of data.
example:
-we allocate 1024 memory
-we know structure of enemy1 starts at 1234 and structure of enemy2 starts at 4321. so in the allocated memory we would create a little new structure for each enemy, and we would have:
1234; 3; 4321; 8
so we know enemy 1 was hit 3 times with the blade, and enemy2 8 times

ok. now when we want to check how many times enemy7 was hit by blade, we would start from the allocated memory and check the address from 8 to 8 bytes to get to the address of enemy7. problem would be: do we have allocated enough space for all the enemies? how can we eliminate the entry of a killed enemy? (in pascal would be simple, any snippets for assembly??)
also any other solution would be greatly appreciated, since it'n not quite optimal to check all the elements of an array (maybe a method of storing by derrivating from enemy structure address?? some math involved?)
another note: storing and manipulating would have to be very very good, since instead of 'times hit by blade'(that gets manipulated when enemy takes damage from blade), we could have 'time until boom' (where we increase a counter every time health of enemy is READ by the game - like couple hundreds times per second)


so to summarize: how can you efficiently can store and manipulate new elements for enemies structures?

thank you all

Structure spider is mainly for detecting differences between structures up to several levels deep.
Especially for trying to find an identifier like a path to a username (player's units only)
Perhaps if I get time someday I may explain it better (and fix some bugs it has)

Anyhow,
Inserting stuff to an existing structure is not worth the time (editing all the code that accesses structure elements that come after what you added). You're best off going with dll injection and making use of a Map like storage container for secondary storage for each unit

Do a hook at a place where the enemy shoots and then add if it isn't in the list and update the shotcount in a seperate list
And do a hook at a place where the enemy dies and then in your hook remove that enemy from the list
