Password System for RPG

[Guest Dude]

Can't figure out how to make a password system for an RPG. Is there a FAQ somewhere that can show me how? Thank you.

If you want this code to store items and say the level of a hero (not the abilities) and you only need it to be very simple encryption its not hard, if you want something like in the LoaP game it gets much more complex.
assuming u only want a simple one u need to creat a number system for example to save say the level of a hero (1-10) you would give each hero level an array i.e. lvl 1 = 1-5 lvl 2 =6-10 and so on, then when the program gives out the save code it will pick a random number (assuming the hero is lvl 2) between 6and 10, (lets say 7 is chosen ) then when the player is prompted to enter the code next game the player enters 7 and the game knows the hero was level . This is very easy with raw code but when ever i try it using the world editor simple "if" statments take allot of work i.e. entered number is between 6and 10 then do action hero level = 2. in the WE you would have to say if {int variable} = 6 , 7 , 8 ,9 or ten, then do action create lvl 2 hero.
I hope this helps show you how a simple encryption system works, basicly the more one code saves the longer you code (triggers) will have to be. the biggest problem with this is it is very simple to crack, and therefore cheating is inevitable. I am not sure if a more (let the WE do the work solution is out there but if u simpliy make what i gave you more complex it will work.
here is an example that should be fairly safe. the numbers that signify a level 2 hero are '1','7',28','13', 164', and lets say '79' this can make it a bit harder to crack but you will need to write it out flowchart style.
hope this helps.

Thanks that does help, but I still am not sure which actual triggers to use in the WE. Which one generates a random number for the player? And how would I add item codes into the mix?

 

[Disconnector]

this is some pretty advanced stuff, so if ur not really good at triggers i wouldent use it

 

[Guest Dude]

Is it that advanced? What triggers in the menu would you use? I can do most of the other triggers I need in my map, just have no clue how to do this one and I can't seem to find any site that says how to.

 

[Guest Dude]

Anyone know a site that could do it if it would take to long to explain? Or could you just give me a example password?

 

[Guest Dude]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know how to do this. Isn't there a simple example I could use to expand upon?

Hmm well i never really tried it, but you would probably have to use JASS. Its really looks like a complicated procedure...

 

[Guest Dude]

Suck suck suck.

 

[DUCynicalOne]

Nope.. no JASS at all.. Just alot of variables .. and setting variables.. like..

Set (password_before_encrypt)) = ((length of entered chat string)))

and shit like that.. lol

im not that good at it, dont ask meh..

 

[wthef_wc3]

It can be done with only in GUI variable (no custom text needed) however, it will , like DUCynicalOne said need alot of variable triggers, im guseeing you want something like the one in the latest LoaP game, but something like that requires alot of programing skill as it is an encrypting program, try visiting the LoaP fourms and asking the creator if he would share the code.

If worst comes to worst, couldn't I just do a simple trigger function. Something like player enters -save for his char, -save1 for items, and whatever else. Then I only have to worry about one thing instead of multiple things. It would be easy to break obviously, but it would work right?
