Help/Support Calling function when clicking a button

[KillerAE 179 Donor]

I am trying to make a function call when I click a button in a game.

I patched the button clicking function like this:

sub sp, sp, #24
str x30, [sp, #0]
bl 0x0 <-- address of the function I want to call
ldr x30, [sp, #0]
ret
 

When I click the button the game force closes.

Any suggestions or corrections?

If it’s in the beginning of the function, you need to use B instead of BL

I don't understand what you mean by if it is in the beginning. Could you please elaborate?

I have changed it to B instead of BL but still not working.

this is the function I am trying to invoke:

public ToggleView()
{
}

I get this in lldb when the game crashes:

I am not sure if you meant you changed the entirety of the function but in most cases, the function that triggers the button click will have an instruction you can modify. I wouldn't modify the entire function, just one instruction is fine. I don't know how your function looks like so can't help you much but I would say look if the function has it's own branches then change those to your desired offset
