Mixing
return a float value from ReadProcessMemory in python
I have an address containing the y-position in the game called Assault Cube (I'm learning about reverse engineering)
My problem is readprocessmemory's ReadBuffer.value returns an integer, and I'm looking for a way to receive the value as a float. Does anyone know how to do this in python?
In the picture I've tried to illustrate how an integer (1125777408) is returned, which itself is correct, but I'd like to find a way to have the float value returned (104).
def ReadProcessMemory(self, hProcess, lpBaseAddress):
try:
lpBaseAddress = lpBaseAddress
ReadBuffer = ctypes.c_uint()
lpBuffer = ctypes.byref(ReadBuffer)
nSize = ctypes.sizeof(ReadBuffer)
lpNumberOfBytesRead = ctypes.c_ulong(0)
ctypes.windll.kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(
hProcess,
lpBaseAddress,
lpBuffer,
nSize,
lpNumberOfBytesRead
)
return ReadBuffer.value
except (BufferError, ValueError, TypeError):
self.CloseHandle(hProcess)
e = 'Handle Closed, Error', hProcess, self.GetLastError()
return e

There is a ctypes method called c_float, so use ctypes.c_float() instead of ctypes.c_int().
