Ideas in Beating Cheats...

[XeNiM666]

umm..

can you give me ideas to beat cheats like iseedeadpeople, greedisgood, leafittome, keysersoze, and especially whosyourdaddy.

+rep to good ones.

You could import a custom cheats.j file into your map that is empty and change the path... that should work.

greedisgood - Add a trigger to check if gold reaches a large sum that doesn't happen in your map. Same thing with lumber.

Iseedeadpeople - don't know try adding a unit outside camera range if it range of a player's vision defeat them.

whosyourdaddy - Add a trigger to add a timer to a unit checking how long it takes for it to die, if its less than 2 seconds then defeat the player. Try it on some strong unit that takes 10 seconds or more to defeat.

Hmm I just actually looked through cheats.j and it's all debug cheats... so that probably won't work.

iseedeadpeople - how about a method that was thought to counter map hack but it didn't, yet it should work in your case. Create 2 towers, 1 owned by the player, another owned by the computer, give the tower long enough range but 0 vision, and put the two towers near each other, if fog is removed they will attack each other, detect when the tower takes dmg, and defeat the player

for whosyourdaddy - i think creating 1 unit for the player, does 1 dmg at slow attack rate, and an enemy unit that has 10 hp with super high regen rate, if comp dies, the player cheated

Lets say your map has a small value of lumber, lets say you can only get around 200 or so, make a trigger to check if a unit has more than 500/1000/ect and defeat them.

Event - Player 1 Red's Gold becomes greater than 7000 ( a number thats impossible to reach in your game, hopefully your game doesn't have 100000 gold regularly. (actually i forgot the gold limit, w.e))
Action - Defeat Player 1 (Red)

hey besides, you dont need to counter cheats, all you needa do is disable saving when theres only one player.

I know one way that'll work. The event would be like "Player types iseedeadpeople as an exact match". Then you put a simple defeat trigger and write the defeat message: "No cheating is allowed. Too bad you have to restart your game."

 

[saw792]

If you don't want to disable saving, perhaps a Game - Defeat action when a player types the cheat commands.

EDIT: Damn beaten.

 

[cleeezzz]

cheat commands do not register as chat messages, therefore, it does not work.

How would you disable saving??

BTW,
can a save-load code work

That should solve your problems.
When we say disable saving we mean a triggered save/load code system.

 

[cleeezzz]

first you need a save load system or else, its pointless to disable something you dont have

then, at the start of the game,
Conditions - Number of Players in (All Players) = 1
Actions - (Either defeat the Player or disable save load)

to disable save load, you just turn off the trigger that does the saving xd

 

[XeNiM666]

so does that mean i have to make different save-load triggers for each player?

 

[saw792]

Well no, just use the event 'elapsed time is 5 seconds' and the trigger cleeezzz suggested.
Of course this only applies if you have a save/load system. If you don't, there is no reason to implement one just so you can disable it in single player.

For the gold thing - a sub-second timer that checks gold/lumber diffrence... Easy to implement and to run.
