[Trigger] Ban Punishment

[LazyCoder]

I'm trying to make a map where if a player is being a jerk, the host can choose to ban them, or ban them and punish them. I was trying to figure out how to make the game freeze up and force them to do ctrl + alt + delete, (and have it be one of those times when the task manager doesn't come up in the first 10 minutes... you know what I mean).

EDIT: I posted this in the GUI forum, but I know JASS as well. If you have a way that requires JASS, lemme know.

Put him into cinematic mode and keep him there.

If you want to crash his warcraft you can use ExecuteFunc("bla bla bla anything that isn't a real function").

Here's an actual code:

function pwn takes player p returns nothing
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
        call ExecuteFunc("fweoifjweojfwoijg")
    endif
endfunction

Put this in your header, now when you want to pwn someone, you put a custom script action with "call pwn(some player)".

Another cool thing is to force the escape key every 0 seconds (with a 0 second timer, of course). This means that whenever they try to exit by accessing the menu, the menu will close itself due to the ESC. Quite fun.

 

[LazyCoder]

Cool! Thanks guys! I already knew how to crash warcraft 3 (but I just tried to access player(-1))

I remember freezing up warcraft 3 ages ago by doing a whole bunch of actions with the event 'periodic event, every 0:00' seconds of gametime.

I want it to lock up so badly that they will have to ctrl + alt + delete it (and it's one of those times where after like 5 minutes, suddenly 100s of task manager programs flash up, but still continue to perform very slowly).

Anyone know how to freeze the game? If not, I guess I'll just crash it for them... not quite as satisfying...

For that kind of nasty stuff you must over load their computer.
Start infinite number of timers that do infinite tasks or similar things.

loop
     exitwhen 1 == 0
     // put lots of crap here
endloop

The important thing is to add a infinite loop inside a infinite loop. You can't imagine how more effective it is then only one.

And thread it so it doesn't hit the op limit.

 

[redmarine]

It is fun how you moderators support this lol... This needs a sticky! Anyways is it possible to destroy/harm any sort of vital files within the operative system to screw them?

 

[EricDaRed]

Uh, yea I think that's taking it a bit far, redmarine.

Just my opinion.

YEAH, lets create a trigger that crashes the HD, too!

 

[spiwn]

Hmm. I doubt it.
Yes it is going too far.

And thread it so it doesn't hit the op limit.

Can some tell me what this "thread it" means

 

[GhostWolf]

Hmm. I doubt it.

If he wants to pwn someone for being a idiot why shouldn't we support it ? It's his map, he can do whatever he want with it.

Read this.

 

[spiwn]

10x
A matter of personal opinion.
No wait is is prohibited by law.
And is quite unethical. Not towards the guy that gets his OC obliterated, but towards the guy that will have to repair it.

Crashing via infinate thread loop does not work well. Dual or quad core PCs can simply alt + CTRL + delete with no delay and close it emidiatly if I am not mistaken is it does not hog 100% cpu power.

Just go with the clasic, simple end game since otherwise people will abuse it to make life hard for innocent players.

This is where threading comes in.
Make the loop go in 4 threads and a quad CPU will come to a halt

 

[Dr Super Good]

Too bad WC3 aint threaded for use on multi core systems (does not use the threading opperations) thus it never loads it to 100% and hovers at like 90 or less atmost.

Still, all this funny "ban" will only end up subtracting from your map. If you have to have a ban go with the classic one of the instant kick to battlenet. That way they can not lose any data and is the most kind way to handle them.

 

[Huurka]

Like Emperor said, put him in Cinematic mode, and show him why he was put there and tell him to alt+f4

GhostWolf, I was not saying it was wrong to take action against someone who is ruining your game. I was saying it was going too far to actually damage their OS.

If you want to, as you put it, 'pwn someone for being an idiot' then simply boot them from the game, crash Warcraft, stick them in cinematic mode, or something of that nature. Heck, use the screen shake actions to make the game unplayable for the offending player.

Redmarine is asking how actual damage can be done to a person's operating system.

I don't care how idiotic someone acts on b.net. To deliberately damage his/her computer because you dislike his/her behavior in a video game is even more idiotic.

I don't believe it is possible but I just wanted your opinions. I'm guessing the most efficient way is to probably lock them in cinematic mode and then overload their CPU. Nice heh?

Here is a thread really relevant to this one here

A desync on purpose(ofcourse desync-ing only the desired player) is interesting.
He will never know he has left the game
Oh and just freezing the game(with an infinite loop) will make all the other players wait for the player's wc3 to respond, eventually dropping him. Or so I think.

But it would be a desaster for the victim = Pwned and ownaged!

 

[spiwn]

Yes indeed.
But what do you say about the disaster for the other lets say 11 players having to sit back and wait for one minute.
It is not enough that there was an idiot in the game, but the map creator made it so that every player gets punished for each idiot.

You mean 30 seconds. It ain't that bad.

 

[Need_O2]

Wow I loved the cinematic mode idea
xD very good way to punish someone

 

[EricDaRed]

Call me silly, but can't you just move the player to another force and end the game in defeat for that force?

 

[spiwn]

Well when I play wc3 we usually wait one minute for a player(s) before being able to drop him.

Oh ok. I think the cinematic way is the best idea yet! Sticky lol.

 

[EricDaRed]

Yea, then you can show the icon of the demon form demon hunter and display a cinematic message like, "We don't want to play with you anymore, begone!"

 

[redmarine]

Lol... This is such a mean thread. I love it!

 

[Squiggy]

Urgh.. spawn a huge amount of exploding animals which kill all of his units in uber explosions

 

[~Void~]

What I want to know is how to make a BSOD through warcraft... now THAT would be genius =P

 

[EricDaRed]

What is a BSOD?

[EDIT] Oh, a blue screen of death! Duh...

 

[LazyCoder]

Can't we desync them, THEN freeze the game for them?

 

[redmarine]

Cinematic mode and a then a BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!
