Hey guys, I would be really appreciated if somebody really help me with that.
I know how to find list of players in Assault Cube, we bassicaly looking for a pointer that points to the first player, then we add +0x4 to the pointer and we have pointer to next player, etc, etc.
But in GTA: SA? I wasted so much time on trying to find it, I want loop trought all players in server or trought all peds/vehicles in singleplayer.

As far as I know, there is pointer to first object, then we add size of object to existing object, but I don't know how to find the pointer...

I saw on forums people mention smart persons who are advanced in this kind of things so, @Opcode.eXe

I posted it in C++ section for a reason.
You can't use cleo to go trought players list on samp server. My question is how to find entity list for players (samp.dll), peds/vehicles (gta_sa.exe).
Edit: My bad, you probably can use cleo to do that, but it's not what I'm looking for.
What you trying create?
What the point of this?

Okay, first of all, reverse engineering learning purposes, second is that samp version changes and has new addresses every update, and if I'll learn how to find entity list for vehicles, peds for singleplayer then I can find whatever I want in gta sa whatever exists.

Like, u showed the pointers for addresses I'm looking for, but we go back to the thing I said, samp version changes and about singleplayer, I just have to learn how to find it by myself. Pointer scanning in cheat engine doesn't work since if I find dynamic address of ped health, I decrement offfest of health (0x540) of adderss, I have base of the ped, right? But we don't know where the base is placed, maybe in middle of entity list, but it's not first object, if it was, I would use pointer scan to find it but nope, it doesn't work like that.

Edit: C++ is known language, it's better for me to find the addresses and use c++ not learning cleo from scratch, also using C++ i have more possibilities, I'm more familiar with.
( I bet you can't write ESP using only cleo )

Btw. By saying "object" I didn't mean object in gta sa or samp, I mean object... from the side of programming.

Whole thread in one text: How did u find pointer pointing to entity base of vehicles, players or objects.

Gta addresses are listed here:
https://gtamods.com/wiki/Memory_Addresses_(SA)

There are separate arrays indicating what peds/vehicles/objects are active. E.g.
+4 = Pointer to a byte map indicating which peds are in use

That's why there's this part in the "For all peds" cleo snippet:
Code:
    0A8D: 31@ = read_memory 29@ size 1 virtual_protect 0 // 29@ is a pointer to byte map
    000A: 29@ += 0x1
    if and
        0029: 31@ >= 0x00 
        001B: 0x80 > 31@                        
    then

That is equivalent to:
C++:
    gtaActorBase = *(DWORD*)0xB74490;
    byteMap = *(DWORD*)(gtaActorBase+4);
    DWORD numberOfActiveActors = *(DWORD*)(gtaActorBase+12);
    for(DWORD i = 0; i < 35584; i = i + 0x100) // 0x100 would have to be changed to 1988 to point to the actor structure, because 0x100 is there to match cleo handler value or something, I don't really know
    {
        BYTE inUse = *(BYTE*)byteMap;
        byteMap += 0x1;
        if(inUse > 0x00 && 0x80 > inUse)

Here's an example of reading gta actor values from external process:

C++:
// GTA_mod.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

            }
        }       
    }
    CloseHandle(pHandle);
    return 0;
}

If you'd like to loop through samp entities instead of gta ones you could check this out:
https://github.com/BlastHackNet/mod_s0beit_sa-1/blob/master/src/samp.h

In case of samp, the array (indicating whether player is listed) contains integers (not bytes which was the case with gta entities)
stSamp -> stSAMPPools -> stPlayerPool -> iIsListed[SAMP_MAX_PLAYERS];

SAMP_INFO_OFFSET (0x21A0F8 in 0.3.7 R1 version) is an offset from samp.dll pointing to stSamp

In the stPlayerPool structure you can see "pRemotePlayer[SAMP_MAX_PLAYERS]" which is where useful data about players is stored.
There's also "ulMaxPlayerID" which could help to make the loop more efficient by breaking when max id was reached already (I guess).

It doesn't really answer how to find these but you could check this video:

Gta addresses are listed here:
https://gtamods.com/wiki/Memory_Addresses_(SA)

There are separate arrays indicating what peds/vehicles/objects are active. E.g.


That's why there's this part in the "For all peds" cleo snippet:
Code:
    0A8D: 31@ = read_memory 29@ size 1 virtual_protect 0 // 29@ is a pointer to byte map
    000A: 29@ += 0x1
    if and
        0029: 31@ >= 0x00
        001B: 0x80 > 31@                      
    then

That is equivalent to:
C++:
    gtaActorBase = *(DWORD*)0xB74490;
    byteMap = *(DWORD*)(gtaActorBase+4);
    DWORD numberOfActiveActors = *(DWORD*)(gtaActorBase+12);

If you'd like to loop through samp entities instead of gta ones you could check this out:
https://github.com/BlastHackNet/mod_s0beit_sa-1/blob/master/src/samp.h

In case of samp, the array (indicating whether player is listed) contains integers (not bytes which was the case with gta entities)
stSamp -> stSAMPPools -> stPlayerPool -> iIsListed[SAMP_MAX_PLAYERS];

SAMP_INFO_OFFSET (0x21A0F8 in 0.3.7 R1 version) is an offset from samp.dll pointing to stSamp

In the stPlayerPool structure you can see "pRemotePlayer[SAMP_MAX_PLAYERS]" which is where useful data about players is stored.
There's also "ulMaxPlayerID" which could help to make the loop more efficient by breaking when max id was reached already (I guess).

It doesn't really answer how to find these but you could check this video:
Thank you for such useful information, funny because I'm LiveOverflow subscriber so I saw video above.
Well, you gave me info containing pointers already found by someone, my question is now how do I find it by myself?
Don't get me bad, I just want learn how do I find pointer to pedPool. If I learn that, will know how to find other things like this in future samp versions.

Like, look: I found dynamic address of ped health (or player, whatever). I decrement offset 0x540 of it so I have its base.
What do I do now to find the pointer pointing to this address, if not to this address then to what?

You may have the base of the player object by that, this doesn't mean you have the base of the "list".
A breakpoint by read on the base pointer of the player should lead you to something; there are many ways to find the "list" containing the entites.

Well, I managed when you hit a ped it stores its base in EBP+8, I traced it to the start of function when there are push instruction.
One of them was something like: mov esi, [EBP+8]. And it was at the start of the function, value stored in EBP+8 is dynamic too and I have no idea what to do now.
And yes, I know. After youtold me it is not a list I was expecting any example but, nvm about that.
