Well guys i am so sorry. I though I would be able to find coordinates by myself but there is something that I can't solve... It is very frustrating and embarrassing to me because I said in my last post that I didn't need help with finding coordinates, but I actually need it Sad

What I am trying to do is to get free camera to IdolM@ster Starlit Season. The gamwas developed with UE4 but UUU does not work here, and noone has made any ct or mod for the in-game camera (no photo camera), so I decided to do it myself, but it is harder than I thought.

For that task, I did what everybody does in these cases: First scan with unknown initial value and then increased value or decreased value depending on what the game does and what I'm trying to find.
I started with what I thought it was camera up/down (z). I found the address, used a pointerMap to track it and don't lose it and... oh.. it wasn't 'z'. It actually is pitch Confused

... ok... next one
I see the camera goes left to right. Same method. I found the address, used a pointerMap to track it and.... omg it wasn´t 'x'. it actually is yaw ???? wtf

At this point I was a bit upset.,.. I saw the camera went foward and backward. Let's get it! Found the address, pointerMap... oh wait!! It is a zoom!!!! omg!! What is this!! I went on finding other and I found something like FOV.....

At this point, I just was very tired and I took what I found (pitch, yaw, zoom and fov) and I nop-ed them, changed their values to 0 and saw what the game did. And what I found?? The camera is close to the end of the scenario, going up and down, left and aright and back and forward following the selected idol.

I tried to apply the same method here to get the camera x y z coordinates but does not work. At the end, I have 150-500 memory addresses and none of them has any effect over the camera... whats going on??
Naturally, I tried increased values and decreased values in every direction, in case I was wrong when I choosed the coordinates origin...

I am so confused... Am I doing something wrong? Or this game is so hard to hack the camera? Is It out from my capabilities? May be, noone could make a free cam in this game, may be it is impossible.... i don't know...

People what do you think?

You may try looking at the data structure, as such values are usually close together. You may also experiment with different data types.

The coordinates you're looking for might be temporaries generated from other values. e.g. there might be a "camera target" coordinate, distance from target, and Euler angles / a quaternion representing orientation. Or maybe the camera stays still and everything else is moving. IDK

Think about studying linear algebra and 3d game development. If you don't know the basics of how a 3d world is transformed onto a 2d surface (and by extension how this stuff is stored in memory), you're going to have a bad time for anything but the most basic of cases.
