Disabling the Delete/Insert camera altering.

[Yours Truly]

Is there any way we can disable the use of Delete and Insert camera altering? These buttons will greatly reduce the quality of maps with locked cameras.

only using mem hack

You can periodicly set it to your wanted x/y.
And then you make a trick, to move your Cam exremly slow to an extreme far away point. (so it effectivly does nothing, but disabling key usage)

Example to lock at coordiantes at 0/0:

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    call PanCameraToTimed(0x0, 0x0, 0x0) // point where you want to be
    call PanCameraToTimed(0x7FFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF) // trick
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.1, true, function test)
endfunction

Aniki explained this trick here: [vJASS] - LockedCamera

 

[DracoL1ch]

so simply call PanCameraToTimed(-1, -1, -1) will work too

 

[IcemanBo]

No, because coordianates -1/-1 could be not far enough away. It's probably better to use coordinates that are for sure not at current position.
And -1 for duration seems to be invalid, but with biggest unsigned int, it works.

 

[DracoL1ch]

unless native force unsigned (which isn't the case) -1 == 0x7FFFFFFF
how is it affects function?

 

[IcemanBo]

You also can't work properly with TriggerSleepAction with negative durations.

If I remember correctly negative numbers until circa -121 or is same as you make TriggerSleepAction(0), and everything even smaller will break the thread. So I don't think you simply can put -1 as durations.

 

[DracoL1ch]

it may be forces unsigned, as in case of array indexing.
w/e it could just be true.
