Shared Control Abuse HELP!

[redbaron4850]

I have a problem with my map that recently arose and am not sure really where to post this.

Basically the problem is that one player somehow spammed the "share control" button in F11 (allies) during a game causing massive lag and slowdown.

I have locked resource trading alliance settings but the box to share control is not grayed out.
Fixed player settings are also enabled.


So when he shared control the game automatically removed control. All seemed fine but he must have spammed it 50+ times in a very rapid succession (less than 5 seconds) causing a massive lag spike.


Is there anything I could do to avoid this type of abuse to in game systems in the future via triggering or something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm not going to link the site as I'm sure it's against the rules, but I found 1.27a lag hack that uses the hotkey for sharing units to lag the game. It sounds a lot like what this is and I'm just wondering if there is a way to combat it.

Edit: I thought I was editing the first post and not double posting. My bad

no, you cant. alliance hack also doesnt care about the real state of alliance - game doesnt check it. you cant do anything about it

Well if you or know someone that has the program, I can post methods you could try and test.

you can just explain them and I'll tell you why they will fail

there's no trigger event whatsoever. laghack is based on the principles of wc3 - whenver alliance changes it requires ALL clients to sync, no matter if that was valid change.
creating alliance will cause desyn and drops hacker out. but, for some reason, removing alliance doesn't break anything, allowing to spam this packet and request sync again and again. same issue with few other ingame things. nobody can counter that.
