[Trigger] Forbid SinglePlayer Trigger

[reatek]

HI again...
I need a trigger that finishes the game if there is only one player in the game when the game starts.
+rep for help!

 

[arafor]

It would go something along the lines like....

Event: map initialization

Condition: (I forget the condition its somethign like...) Players in game equal 1

Action: Victory for (that player)!

 

[reatek]

Didn't help much :/ Can you make it into a trigger ?

 

[Dr. Boom]

Seas =)

Maybe this can help you

• SingelPlayer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Player number of (Picked player)) Equal to 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: No SinglePlayer !
          • Else - Actions

This checks the player number status after 1 second. If you want a permanent check - use as event : Every 10 seconds or something like that

Rofl, this'll just kick Player 1 every time. Right trigger is:

• NoSinglePlayer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Int = Int + 1
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Int = 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: No SinglePlayer !

 

[reatek]

Looks like this is not the right trigger because it doesn't work!

 

[Kercyn]

Int is an integer variable with a starting value of 0. Have you done that, and it doesn't work?

 

[reatek]

I've set the variable to 0 before this trigger happens and when I test the map it still doesn't kick me.. Maybe a demo map ?

 

[Kercyn]

Yeah, the map would help us help you

 

[reatek]

Here a map I made for 5 mins with the trigger and it still doesn't work . See if I'm making an mistake or something...

 

[Kercyn]

Here's your map.

@Reaper2008

What if the human player uses computer players to trick your trigger? I changed that to All players matching condition

 

[reatek]

Working 10x alot! 1 more thing I want to ask you - how do you turn off the resource sharing between allied players ?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Stupid and usless request.

No one needs to end the game when single player, and doing so will likly get your map rejected due to making it hard to test.

I advise disabling the save system (I take it thats what your worried about) when playing single player so they can not save a cheated character.

To do this I think there is a constant or something which WC3 engine sets up detecting when the game is hosted on any multiplayer (lan and Bnet) where cheats can not be used or if it is played single player (where they can).

A simple boolean allows you to do all your single player / multi player code via a simple conditional statement.

Best of all this idea is less flawed that just disabling solo play, as there is no need to do so if the person plays alone online as cheats are disabled anyway.

You can also detect singleplayer / multiplayer mode via gamecaches, singleplayer lets you load ones saved permantly wile multiplayer loads them all blank.

 

[reatek]

Yes, I am disabling the Single Player only because of the cheats. If there is some tutorial or something to show me how to forbid THEM and not the single player it would be great!

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just let people cheat in single player, it does no harm....
If its due to save / load systems, like I said simply disable the player from saving in singleplayer as then they can cheat all they want but it will not make them better in the multiplayer (how good maps like SWAT Aftermath do it).

If it is to stop people exploring your map, you are just asking for people like me to rip your map appart. I can discover all secrets in a map in under 30 minutes via reading the unprotectable trigger script and I make sure I tell everyone I meet online in the games about them. Do not take this as a threat or anything, it is to point out how feeble disabling singleplayer is on hiding secrets and in the end will ruin your map if implimented for this reason.

The easiest way is on map initialization, check if there are more than 1 human player in game, and if not then disable the save / load system.

 

[Kercyn]

Yeah, what DSG said is true. Take The Black Road, for example. You'll find many unprotected versions of it across the internet. And keep in mind that TBR is one of the most strictly protected maps out there.

 

[Dr Super Good]

No map is protected, only damaged.

 

[TriggerHappy]

This would work best (detects if game is offline rather than checking player count).

• Events
  • Time - elapsed in game is 0.00 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: if ReloadGameCacheFromDisc() then
  • Custom script: call EndGame(false)
  • Custom script: endif

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

No map is protected, only damaged.

More like "protected from those who don't know what an MPQ editor is".

HI again...
I need a trigger that finishes the game if there is only one player in the game when the game starts.
+rep for help!

I know you're working for an ORPG map reatek,and i would strongly suggest you not to disable singe player.I'm pretty sure i have a demo map no how to turn off all cheats.I will edit this post and attach it here if i find it.
EDITk i found this.I don't remember where i download this map,but its not mine.Here is a way to disable cheating

 

[Adiktuz]

This would work best (detects if game is offline rather than checking player count).

  • Custom script: if ReloadGameCacheFromDisc() then
  • Custom script: call EndGame(false)
  • Custom script: endif

yeah, but isnt there also something like bj_IsSinglePlayer???

and for cheats there are anti-cheat systems here on hive, I learned how to disable money cheats and whosyourdaddy from some system is the spell section.....

is there someone out here who knows how to disable iseedeadpeople?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Disabling cheats is stupid as the systems waste computation power.
Just disable saving if the map is singleplayer, and your done.

 

[reatek]

I'm not working on an ORPG - I'm working on a really small RPG, but it is still good to have these systems. I'm almost finished with it - I only need some terraining, the duel system and the most important that I can't do - Quests :|

 

[BlargHonk]

Ummm, ORPG=RPG with Multi

If your banning Single on an RPG, WTH IS THE POINT.


Supergood, in what he is doing, disabling the cheats would work best, so just use Reason's system.

Orrrrr, mebbeh he is making an ORPG, and does not know definitions :/ soooo it would be better to disable the main save/load, just turn off the main trigger when it is single.


And in other news, congrats on 5,777 posts , needs 2k more

scope disableSaveLoad initializer i
     private function i takes nothing returns nothing
          local integer index=0
          local integer counter=0
          loop
               exitwhen index>11
               if GetPlayerSlotState(Player(index))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(Player(index))==MAP_CONTROL_USER then
                    set counter=counter+1
               endif
               set index=index+1
          endloop
          if counter<2 then
               call DisableTrigger(saveLoad)
          endif
     endfunction
endscope

 

[BlargHonk]

I doubt he wants Jass, he seems like a gui'r


Still, reatek, if you want to use above, convert a blank trigger to custom script, you'll need to make the variables though

 

[Cokemonkey11]

make the variables? he'd only have to name his save/load function "saveLoad"

 

[Hashjie]

its local as you can see There's no need to make the variables

Cokemonkey11's code would work good if you ask me...

 

[BlargHonk]

Missed that bit, I use counter as a global anyways, I use most plain name variables for anti-leaks.

 

[azlier]

Well, the simplest and easiest was to disable single player (not Battle.net 1 player or LAN 1 player, where cheating is not possible) is to use this.

'Tis a shame that nothing is absolute protection.

 

[IronForge]

WOOHOO I say that antiSP code should be stickied!!!

I Just copied the entire trigger but instead of crashing game just disabled my save trigger. Load and normal gameplay still allowed.
Lets hope nothing goes bad!!
