Disable Cheats

[Kaer]

Hey.

I'm looking for a way to disable cheats in singleplayer maps.
Things like "Player enters chat massage (whosyourdaddy)" and so on don't work.
I already searched here, but I wasn't able to find a solution ...

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: Not only the cheat "whosyourdaddy", I need them all disabled

You can detect some of those cheats easily.
If you're making an RPG and don't want people to be able to save in Singleplayer just disable the Save/Load-System.

or if your talking about cheats like greadisgood or whosisyourdaddy you can not make a string trigger so if they say that the game ends.

EDIT: here this does not work works

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing whoisyourdaddy as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Defeat (Triggering player) with the message: NUU CHEATING

• No that doesn't work. I tried that before I posted. Nothing happened.
• The cheat isn't stored as string, you can't refer to it like that. Unfortunately.

 

[mattman111]

Well it did not work for me so you are right.

 

[Moon Lord Hawkeye]

LOL, fail, the cheat strings are as follows:

whosyourdaddy
greedisgood
leafittome
thereisnospoon

Yeah, those are some of them, at least.

No, that never worked.

well it just worked for me you sure you spelled it right?

Well, I am. Are you sure it worked for you in a singleplayer map?
Of course this works in internet games, but it's useless 'cause the cheats don't work there. Or maybe you're the one who spelled it wrong

I just tested it again, and it doesn't work. Someone here with another solution? :/

For whosyourdaddy:
Have one unit for each player attack another one. The other one should have a high enough hp regeneration. If the attacked unit dies, the player used the cheat.
For iseedeadpeople:
Just check at an unreachable location if it is visible to any player; if yes: he used the cheat

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

for who is your daddy you could create a unit for every play which is attacking another unit with exactly as much regeneration as the first unit deals damage
if a player is using whosyourdaddy the unit dies

for gold/lumber:
create a player which has no way to get any of these resources
cause the cheats add stuff for every player you just have to check if this player gets gold or lumber

iseedeadpeople can be disabled will disabling vision all the time (however I am not sure about that)

Good ideas. But the problem is that the map I'm working on isn't really big, it's 64x64.
Thank you, I think I'll try that ..

If someone has another solution, tell me please


Edit: Thanks to you too, D4RK_G4ND4LF.
Both +rep.

If the map only is 64x64, then it shouldnt be a problem with iseedeadpeople.

You can't say that without knowing the map

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just do not care about cheats. If people cheat, let them as it is their problem they are ruining the fun of the map not yours. Blizzard made it clear they want cheats to be usable, so I advise you just let people cheat. Most people who like your map will not cheat.

 

[YourNameHere]

You can't say that without knowing the map

You know that you only need 1 point that isn't accessable? The only problem would be if you're using the entire map.

 

[Kaer]

Thats the point - I'm using like 95% of the map.
But the iseedeadpeople cheat isn't really a problem.
'warpten' for example, is a problem.
I guess I'll just check every "Unit starts building" event how long it needs to finish that building.

Thank you all,
problem solved

I really don't understand why you need them disabled. If it's a multiplayer map, who cares? Single player, cheating is technically fine, yet with LAN or B.Net, cheats don't work anyways.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I made a cheat detection script which detected most cheats, except the silly ones which change the time of day and such. I'd rather not release it (it's not finished) because DSG is right, just let them cheat.

Alternitevly, you could only allow online play (LAN counts too IIRC. So just tell people if they wanna play your map in single player, use the lan feature).

 

[Berb]

Could you not check for a point that is outside the map boundaries (in the black, shaded region) and bumped up a few cliff levels? I'm pretty sure that visibility in these regions is still detected.

 

[Adiktuz]

I think you can make them automatically lose if they play your map in SinglePlayer mode so they will have to use LAN at least.

 

[Kaer]

The reason why I want to disable cheats is simple:
I want my map playable in singleplayer with a 'save / load'-system.
The system distinguishes between singleplayer and multiplayer mode and changes the savecode for both.

I'm going to test that, thanks

I feel as if you completely ignored my post.

• Custom script: if not ReloadGameCachesFromDisc() then
• Game - Display "Game is online"
• ---- Do your custom actions here, for your save and load ----
• Custom script: else
• Game - Display "Game is offline"
• ---- Do your custom actions here, for your save and load ----
• Custom script: endif

I'm sure you can figure out what to do with that. If not than you are hopeless.
Also, I'm not sure if the function was right, if not check the war3map.j for similar functions.

Sorry, of course I read your post, but I kinda missunderstood it
Thats a nice idea ... can you actually play a lan-game alone?
That would solve all problems ...

(+rep btw )

DvO (not sure) made a system that will be disable cheats i'm not just sure if it's DvO who made that..

Could you post a link or some more detailed information please? =)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes you can play LAN games alone...
You can also play battlenet games alone...
Only requirement of both is that there is atleast 1 AI player on another force or team (so the game can start).

Still searching for it =.=
