Disabling Cheats

[Killerphill]

hi guys.

is there a way to disable ALL cheats in a single player game? if so, how? lol

thanks.

As I know, is there no such way, but you can create some triggers which resets the players resources or kills his units if he tries to type a cheat code.

 

[Killerphill]

that doesnt work, because when a player types a cheatcode it comes up as "Cheat Enabled" instead of the actual text so the trigger doesnt recognize it.

 

[OneBadPsycho]

Hmm, wtf? -It does not seem that it can be fixed then.

 

[Killerphill]

Ive also seen it in multiple games, just cant figure out how to do it. lol

Cheats Disabled
    Events
        Map Initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
          Set cheatsEnabled = False

The Variable you need to make is like this:

Variable Name: cheatsEnabled
Variable Type: Bolean
Array: (No array)
Initial Value: True

Then it should not allow Cheats.

 

[Killerphill]

that doesnt work either unfortunetly

What?? <.<
Did you try?

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing whosyourdaddy as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Pause all units

I'd do that...

 

[igor1222]

The command itself will just skip this trigger I believe =/
I think
"Unit - Kill Unit" would be better, if it works :b

 

[Killerphill]

What?? <.<
Did you try?

i tryed what you told me to try and it didnt work

also typing in "whosyourdaddy" doesnt get registered as a text message being sent.

Once again, we must look to the fact that:

Cheating isn't Chatting

The game cannot detect cheats sent by the player. And adding a random boolean doesn't do you any good, either.

- Cheating obviously doesn't work in multiplayer.
- If there is only one player playing, I personally see no reason in trying to prevent them from cheating. Let them!

 

[igor1222]

cheatsEnabled is a Game Value.

Its like in LUA, for WoW when you wanna do something when a mob enters combat.
Then the default Value is:
mob_onCombat

Its a string in the Engine you try to recall I think.

But try to delete the "Map Initialization" and swap it out with a timer, which have lasted for like 5 seconds. When the timer is over then it should turn it on. Try it and tell me if it works. Else I am afraid that Ghan_04 is right.

 

[Ghan]

> cheatsEnabled is a Game Value.

And so it may be.
However, as far as I am aware, there is no way to alter these using triggers.
And certainly the game doesn't see anything other than "udg_cheatsEnabled" for that variable....

 

[Weegee]

I agree with Ghan_04

Seriously, if someone is going to cheat, let them. The cheater will never have any fun.

 

[igor1222]

Would be funny to kill the cheater when he/she typed it tho :b

 

[Killerphill]

i tryed swapping it with a timer and it still doesnt work

 

[Cfw_Master]

How about a trigger that runs on freezing/killing a player who types "Cheat Enabled". Since that is the message that comes out when a cheat code is used

 

[Killerphill]

ive tryed doing that, still doesnt register as a text message being sent.

if goldcheating is your problem,

check something like an imcomerate and if it was too high last 1minute, stop the game...
