Best anti single player system

[rarigate]

Been browsing for options, but none are modern.

Currently using ReloadGameCachesFromDisk() but been causing problems to me.

What's the best method to prevent playing from SP? (but still able to play on LAN alone)

you could just add a trigger that checks how many players are controlled by a user, and if that number is 1 - end mission. or something like that.

why do you want to do that though? if the game is designed for multiplayer, then it just wont be fun to play alone. isn't that enough of a deterrent? it's like someone playing dota by themselves and beating creepwaves and towers with no opponents. why would you need to forcefully stop players from doing that?

He's probably using a Save/Load system and doesn't want it to work in singleplayer.

I saw some people use cheat codes to detect singleplayer. You can force a cheat like greedisgood via triggers and then check the player's current gold. In multiplayer it won't add any gold.

That does not allow LAN play alone.

Well any idea how, else I'd stick to ReloadGameCachesFromDisk() but most of the time the host disconnects the first host then succeeding host will dc less (i just suspect this function is the cause, so I'm asking for other ways of anti SP)
