Okay, as i'm sure, some of you have played twilight's eve. It's an ORPG on wc3 b.net. Anyways, as you know, the newer versions have included a few proffessions. One of these professions interests me the most: Fishing. Not because of the fishing itself, but how it's done. It asks you to press certain arrow keys, and if you press it imediately after the message shows up, you get "Perfect". The slower you are, the worse of a mark you get.
Now, what I want to use this for is my idea i've come up with. I want to make a map in the modern times sort of like an orpg with a storyline. Where this system of arrow keys would come in is hacking. Yes, hacking.
Along the journey of this map you would encounter many computers. Some you would have to hack to progress in a mission, such as to unlock a locked electronic door, or hack into a database. I contemplated it and the first system was merely you somehow magically being able to hack in without any effort in the least, and it just gave you a list of commands you could use inside of the computer. Such as checking system messages, or checking the database for imortant information. But like I said, this required 0% effort. You just walked up to the computer, said "yes" when it asked you if you wanted to hack, and voila.
So I want to incorporate this arrow key system into the computer hacking. Kind of like a mass effect decryption thing. You have to press the buttons almost immediately, or you're kicked out of the system. Not permanently, obviously, I want them to be able to retry as many times as it takes.
So I want to know how to make this arrow system, and with only one grade. No perfect and good, but you just know you did good if it lets you advance to the next button at all. Otherwise I want them to be kicked out. So in total, the arrow system, with only one chance and it has to be pressed ALMOST imediately after it tells you what arrow to press, otherwise you're kicked out of the system and have to retry. And I want the order of the arrows to be completely random for every try on any terminal, so they never know what's coming.
Not sure if it's possible, but if it's only possible in vJASS, please give me a demo map or something I can easily copy paste, because I'm only good in GUI. I'm not completely sure how i'll add in the computer's commands and database and stuff afterwards, as I don't know how you would have the trigger sense if they get into the system or not, so let me know that too please
