Snippet Disable Singleplayer Mode

[Steel]

This is something that can be useful for people who want to disallow players to play their map in Singleplayer mode, meaning you can use cheats like, 'iseedeadpeople', whosyourdaddy', etc...

BUT! You can play a map solo on battle.net if you choose. It uses a simple gamecache trick. Don't know if this is worthy of being listed here, but I figured it might be fun for some people.

If someone already has something like this posted then graveyard this.

globals
     private gamecache dummy = null
endglobals

function IsSinglePlayer takes nothing returns boolean
     return SaveGameCache(dummy)  //Only returns true if you are in single player, if you are on b.net or LAN it returns false.
endfunction

 

[Azlier]

globals
    boolean IsSinglePlayer = SaveGameCache(null)
endglobals

Eh?

 

[perkeyone]

does "bj_isSinglePlayer" return the same value?

 

[Azlier]

bj_isSinglePlayer is true whenever there's one human player in the game. This includes games on Battle.net and LAN.

Shouldn't that be in a scope...? The [ljass]private[/ljass] keyword only works inside a [ljass]scope[/ljass] or [ljass]library[/ljass]...
Throws errors if you use it outside of one (well, at least for me.)

 

[Nestharus]

I think Azlier's solution-

globals
    boolean IsSinglePlayer = SaveGameCache(null)
endglobals

is better =P

>Disable Singleplayer Mode
This does not disable single player mode.

I think you should make it disable single player mode! (Or write an alternative snippet to do so.)

 

[Azlier]

scope DisableSinglePlayer initializer Init

private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    if SaveGameCache(null) then
        call SetPlayerName(GetLocalPlayer()), "This map cannot be played in single player.")
        call EndGame(true)
    endif
endfunction

endscope

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Nao you has problem.

I canz search yer JASS for "This map cannot be played in single player." and removez teh func.

 

[Azlier]

scope IAmAnInnocentCupcake initializer Onoz

private function Onoz takes nothing returns nothing
    if SaveGameCache(null) then
        call SetPlayerName(GetLocalPlayer()), "T"+"h"+"i"+"s"+" "+"m"+"a"+"p"+" "+"c"+"a"+"n"+"n"+"o"+"t"+" "+"b"+"e"+" "+"p"+"l"+"a"+"y"+"e"+"d"+" "+"i"+"n"+" "+"s"+"i"+"n"+"g"+"l"+"e"+" "+"p"+"l"+"a"+"y"+"e"+"r.")
        call EndGame(true)
    endif
endfunction

endscope

 

[Steel]

Hahaha these are some great replies, I love this place.

Yea I just wrote this quickly as a snippet didn't care for any true coding syntax. Do with it what you like guys.

 

[Renendaru]

scope IAmAnInnocentCupcake initializer Onoz

private function Onoz takes nothing returns nothing
    if SaveGameCache(null) then
        call SetPlayerName(GetLocalPlayer()), "T"+"h"+"i"+"s"+" "+"m"+"a"+"p"+" "+"c"+"a"+"n"+"n"+"o"+"t"+" "+"b"+"e"+" "+"p"+"l"+"a"+"y"+"e"+"d"+" "+"i"+"n"+" "+"s"+"i"+"n"+"g"+"l"+"e"+" "+"p"+"l"+"a"+"y"+"e"+"r.")
        call EndGame(true)
    endif
endfunction

endscope

They can search for EndGame... Just try to locally change the player colour to something like 24.

 

[Azlier]

Well then. Import this function into your map as any file type (.mdx yay), and call Preloader on the model path.

function PreloadFiles takes nothing returns nothing
    if SaveGameCache(null) then
        call SetPlayerName(GetLocalPlayer()), "This map cannot be played in single player.")
        call EndGame(true)
    endif
endfunction

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

You will need to test that as some natives do not work from a Preloader call.

 

[Azlier]

I would test it, but I can't. No WC3. If it works, I'll hand out free ice cream!

I might test it when I get home. Seems fun. :thup:

 

[Azlier]

Indeed, indeed. I'll even invent a way so that you can't search for even Preloader. Stupidity to the EXTREMES, man!

I know! Let's fire it through BYTECODE!

 

[Azlier]

I was going to fire it through Return Nothing but... ok...

You still need Return Nothing to pass the file path without referencing anything .

 

[Renendaru]

Do you two want me to test it? I have some free time.
