Removing Cheats

[The_Prophet]

Ok i read in the faq that importing a blank text file and setting its path to scripts\cheats.j will remove the cheats from the map. Well... It didnt work for me and im wondering if maby theres a catch or somthing i blatantly overlooked.

That was changed in the 1.18 patch, its impossible to remove cheats.

Thanks. Just wondering though, why would blizzard do such a thing! :nuts:

Because they put the cheats there... For some reason, they want them there regardless of the map, which really sorta kills single player RPG type games -.- Or just campaigns...

Why dont you make a trigger that reverses the cheat is that possible like if the person types in iseedeadpeople reverse it, is that possible?

 

[Im_On_56k]

Leme say this again.

It is impossible to remove, or avoid cheats.

When someone types in a cheat its not concidered a string, nor is "Cheat Enabled" a string. Thus it can not be detected and thus it can not be reversed. Im_On_56k is right.

Though its the worst thing Blizzard ever did to map makers, and its near to being a slap in the face letting people cheat though hard made maps, theirs to.

Its not the worst thing or even close to and not a slap in the face.

If a player cheats offline in single player he is ruining it for himself. Just like you would if you cheat to beat a real game. Since most games have cheats in them.

Honestly think of this, how fun would GTA be without cheats huh? Most games are fun with cheats, and fun if you dont use them also. You have a choice to use cheats or not.

yes it can be reversed, well some of them example

Event - player types greedisgood as an exact match

actions - take away 500 gold from triggering players gold


and that would cause the cheat to have no affect. some others cant be reversed though. :nuts:

Wrong, sqrage. You can't detect the message because it isn't a "message". It's hardwired into the game. No getting around it, though I wish it were.

The ONLY people that cheat are noobs that cant play the game without them

The easiest way to remove Iseedeadpeople is:

IDONTseedeadpeople
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Visibility - Disable fog of war
        Visibility - Disable black mask

Though, some of them can be outsmarted...


Thread locked, anyway.
