Disable Load/Save

[JFAMAP]

Any way to disable Save game for Multiplayer game?

No, but you can disable load game by simply booting everyone to menu in response to the load game event.

Not that saving is much of a problem anyway. A proper leakless map will save so fast it is of no concern.

So? They are meant to do that and there is no reason to stop people from doing so.

The only reason to disable loading a save game is because your map is using features not supported by WC3 save/load such as array index 8191 and periodic timers so loading would bug the map.

There are game load and game save events in triggers, if they work at multiplayer, you can finish game if the game is a loaded game.

Thanks i'll try it because my scenario is "Hardcore" game and there is no room for Load and Save for the Hardcore game

Yes but players can just turn the trigger off...

Uh? you can prevent saving the map instead of disabling load game by simply doing a crash:

• test
  • Events
    • Game - The game is about to be saved
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerStateBJ( ConvertedPlayer(17), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD, 750 )

Yeh that will work well. Let us see his map be flooded with complaints...
"Your map crashes on save, please fix!"

Well, when I played a slide map with friends, they wouldn't save the game because they knew it was some kind of anti-cheat system. Maybe people aren't that ingenue about "intentional bugs"

You can use this snippet:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-resources-412/snippet-preventsave-158048/

To use it in your map:

• Download JassNewGenPack (check our tools section).
• Open NewGen WE.exe (JassNewGenPack Editor)
• Open your map.
• Create a new trigger. Edit -> Convert to Custom Text.
• Copy the code in that thread and then paste it there.
• Save the map, and you should be good to go! Although, you'll have to edit the map in the JNGP Editor from now on.

Alternatively, if you'd like to have a GUI implmentation, simply register the save event, and then display an empty dialog. Run a timer for one second, and then hide the dialog. So it would be something like this:

• Prevent Save
  • Events
    • Game - The game is about to be saved
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call DialogDisplay(udg_EmptyDialog, true)
    • Countdown Timer - Start SaveTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Prevent Save Expire
  • Events
    • Time - SaveTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call DialogDisplay(udg_EmptyDialog, false)

EmptyDialog is a dialog variable without any buttons. SaveTimer is a timer variable. Those custom scripts are the same as "Dialog Show/Hide", but they will apply for all players.

I haven't tested it, but I believe it should work (assuming TriggerHappy's code works).
