any idea?
maybe sending the password to spectators would work, but if somebody deprotected the map he could do it too.
i was more thinking about a daily code, like encrypting the computer date, which would make it more difficult for the cheaters in my clan.

there is this feature where 1 random player gets a special hero, and red can just assign him.
usually this is not necessary but people are greedy and abuse that function.

(other question: is there a save code system like you td where the save code gets saved in a txt file automatically?)

Design the map better. Make a separate force in the lobby which represents the special hero so that hosts/robot controllers are able to specify who gets the special hero before the game begins. This solves all such in-game problems in a future proof way.

Code cheaters are of no concern due to the age and state of WC3. Just make sure that load codes can only load intended content and add reasonable bounds checks to everything else. As long as it is not super easy to cheat most people will not and those that do will not damage them as they are restricted to fairly obtainable content.
