find-CBaseTrigger_StartTouch-AND-CBaseTrigger_EndTouch

Find CBaseTrigger_StartTouch and CBaseTrigger_EndTouch

Locate CBaseTrigger_StartTouch and CBaseTrigger_EndTouch virtual functions in CS2 server.dll or server.so using IDA Pro MCP tools.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure the following YAML files exist beside the binary:

• CBaseTrigger_vtable.{platform}.yaml - Generated by /find-CBaseTrigger_vtable or /write-vtable-as-yaml
• CBaseEntity_StartTouch.{platform}.yaml - Contains vtable index for StartTouch
• CBaseEntity_EndTouch.{platform}.yaml - Contains vtable index for EndTouch

If any of these files are missing, run the corresponding skills first:

• /find-CBaseTrigger_vtable to generate CBaseTrigger vtable YAML
• /find-CBaseEntity_StartTouch-AND-CBaseEntity_Touch-CBaseEntity_EndTouch to generate CBaseEntity touch function YAMLs

Method

1. Load CBaseTrigger VTable Information

ALWAYS Use SKILL /get-vtable-from-yaml with class_name=CBaseTrigger.

If the skill returns an error, stop and report to user. Otherwise, extract vtable_va, vtable_numvfunc and vtable_entries for subsequent steps.

2. Load CBaseEntity_StartTouch and CBaseEntity_EndTouch VTable Indices

Read the vtable indices from the existing YAML files:

mcp__ida-pro-mcp__py_eval code="""
import idaapi
import os

input_file = idaapi.get_input_file_path()
dir_path = os.path.dirname(input_file)
platform = 'windows' if input_file.endswith('.dll') else 'linux'

# Read CBaseEntity_StartTouch
yaml_path1 = os.path.join(dir_path, f"CBaseEntity_StartTouch.{platform}.yaml")
print(f"=== CBaseEntity_StartTouch ===")
if os.path.exists(yaml_path1):
    with open(yaml_path1, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        print(f.read())
else:
    print(f"ERROR: {yaml_path1} not found")
    print("Please run /find-CBaseEntity_StartTouch-AND-CBaseEntity_Touch-CBaseEntity_EndTouch first.")

print()

# Read CBaseEntity_EndTouch
yaml_path2 = os.path.join(dir_path, f"CBaseEntity_EndTouch.{platform}.yaml")
print(f"=== CBaseEntity_EndTouch ===")
if os.path.exists(yaml_path2):
    with open(yaml_path2, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        print(f.read())
else:
    print(f"ERROR: {yaml_path2} not found")
    print("Please run /find-CBaseEntity_StartTouch-AND-CBaseEntity_Touch-CBaseEntity_EndTouch first.")
"""

Extract vfunc_index values:

• StartTouch_index from CBaseEntity_StartTouch YAML
• EndTouch_index from CBaseEntity_EndTouch YAML

3. Get CBaseTrigger Virtual Function Addresses

Using the vtable entries from step 1 and indices from step 2:

• CBaseTrigger_StartTouch address = vtable_entries[StartTouch_index]
• CBaseTrigger_EndTouch address = vtable_entries[EndTouch_index]

4. Verify Functions (Optional)

Decompile the functions to verify they are the correct touch handlers:

mcp__ida-pro-mcp__decompile addr="<CBaseTrigger_StartTouch_addr>"
mcp__ida-pro-mcp__decompile addr="<CBaseTrigger_EndTouch_addr>"

Key characteristics:

• CBaseTrigger_StartTouch: Handles entity entering the trigger, adds entity to touch list, fires OnStartTouch output
• CBaseTrigger_EndTouch: Handles entity leaving the trigger, removes entity from touch list, fires OnEndTouch output

5. Rename Functions

mcp__ida-pro-mcp__rename batch={"func": [{"addr": "<CBaseTrigger_StartTouch_addr>", "name": "CBaseTrigger_StartTouch"}]}

mcp__ida-pro-mcp__rename batch={"func": [{"addr": "<CBaseTrigger_EndTouch_addr>", "name": "CBaseTrigger_EndTouch"}]}

6. Generate Signature for CBaseTrigger_StartTouch

ALWAYS Use SKILL /generate-signature-for-function to generate a robust and unique signature for CBaseTrigger_StartTouch.

7. Write CBaseTrigger_StartTouch as YAML

ALWAYS Use SKILL /write-vfunc-as-yaml to write the analysis results.

Required parameters:

• func_name: CBaseTrigger_StartTouch
• func_addr: The function address from step 3
• func_sig: The validated signature from step 6

VTable parameters:

• vtable_name: CBaseTrigger
• vfunc_offset: StartTouch_index * 8 (e.g., 0x498 for index 147)
• vfunc_index: StartTouch_index (e.g., 147)

8. Generate Signature for CBaseTrigger_EndTouch

ALWAYS Use SKILL /generate-signature-for-function to generate a robust and unique signature for CBaseTrigger_EndTouch.

9. Write CBaseTrigger_EndTouch as YAML

ALWAYS Use SKILL /write-vfunc-as-yaml to write the analysis results.

Required parameters:

• func_name: CBaseTrigger_EndTouch
• func_addr: The function address from step 3
• func_sig: The validated signature from step 8

VTable parameters:

• vtable_name: CBaseTrigger
• vfunc_offset: EndTouch_index * 8 (e.g., 0x4A8 for index 149)
• vfunc_index: EndTouch_index (e.g., 149)

Function Characteristics

CBaseTrigger_StartTouch

• Class: CBaseTrigger
• Inherited From: CBaseEntity::StartTouch
• Prototype: void CBaseTrigger::StartTouch(CBaseEntity* pOther)
• Parameters:
  • this: Pointer to the CBaseTrigger instance
  • pOther: Pointer to the entity that started touching the trigger
• Behavior:
  1. Checks if trigger is enabled (calls vtable function to verify)
  2. Validates the touching entity
  3. Adds entity handle to internal touch list
  4. Fires OnStartTouch entity output
  5. Calls PassesTriggerFilters to check if entity should activate trigger

CBaseTrigger_EndTouch

• Class: CBaseTrigger
• Inherited From: CBaseEntity::EndTouch
• Prototype: void CBaseTrigger::EndTouch(CBaseEntity* pOther)
• Parameters:
  • this: Pointer to the CBaseTrigger instance
  • pOther: Pointer to the entity that stopped touching the trigger
• Behavior:
  1. Validates the touching entity
  2. Finds and removes entity handle from internal touch list
  3. Fires OnEndTouch entity output
  4. Cleans up stale entity handles from touch list
  5. Fires OnEndTouchAll if no entities remain in touch list

VTable Information

• VTable Name: CBaseTrigger
• Parent Class: CBaseEntity (touch functions are inherited virtual functions)
• StartTouch VTable Index: Same as CBaseEntity::StartTouch (typically 147, may change with updates)
• EndTouch VTable Index: Same as CBaseEntity::EndTouch (typically 149, may change with updates)

DLL Information

• DLL: server.dll (Windows) / server.so (Linux)

Output YAML Format

The output YAML filenames depend on the platform:

• server.dll → CBaseTrigger_StartTouch.windows.yaml, CBaseTrigger_EndTouch.windows.yaml
• server.so → CBaseTrigger_StartTouch.linux.yaml, CBaseTrigger_EndTouch.linux.yaml

Notes

• These are virtual functions inherited from CBaseEntity and overridden in CBaseTrigger
• The vtable indices are the same as in CBaseEntity since they are inherited virtual functions
• The actual function implementations are different from CBaseEntity versions (trigger-specific behavior)
• Always verify the prerequisite YAML files exist before running this skill
