Hooking Explained

Hooking is the process of intercepting code execution. While it is commonly used in internal cheats, it can also be performed externally.

What Does Hooking Do?

Hooking allows your code to be executed when specific functions or events occur. Some common reasons for hooking include:

• Getting or setting function parameter values
• Ensuring execution on a specific thread (e.g., how games render menus)
• Detecting when a function is called

Example: Bunny Hop Hook

Original Function

// Target to hook
function player_touch_ground()

// Function to replace Target
function bhop_hook()
{
    player_jump();
    original_player_touch_ground();
}

// Applying the Hook
original_player_touch_ground = player_touch_ground;
player_touch_ground = bhop_hook;

In this example, bhop_hook() intercepts player_touch_ground(), allowing the player to automatically jump when they touch the ground.
