Anti Cheat using gamecache

Mystic Prophet	Supposedly you can detect whether someone is on bnet, lan, or singleplayer by attempting to save the gamecache. using this you can allow players to play solo on bnet and lan while disallowing cheats by preventing single player mode. However, I can't seem to get it to work properly. anyone know how to do this?

PipeDream	Store something in the cache, SaveGameCache() and check the boolean it returns.

Mystic Prophet	how would I go about checking that particular boolean. I tried both of the gui conditions gamecache booleans.

PipeDream	Trigger: Custom script: set udg_bool = SaveGameCache(udg_mygamecachevar) Then use the boolean in your logic. True means single player.

Example Trigger:

Trigger:

Singleplayer Check

Events

Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Custom script: set udg_bool=SaveGameCache(udg_cache)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

bool Equal to False

Then - Actions

Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Playing this map in single player is not allowed!

Else - Actions

PipeDream	You got the sign wrong. True means single player. To below: That's either because you didn't init or didn't store anything.

wonder_priest	:/ tested and it works. That exact trigger ends me in defeat, and 'bool equal to True' leaves me in the game.

Mystic Prophet	thanks a bunch. have some rep. Edit: hmm that is true priest but you get booted whether you're playing singleplayer or not with that trigger. hmm I wish I understood how to reference the gamecache better.

Rising_Dusk	Why don't you use this boolean... JASS: bj_isSinglePlayer That works just as well and is easier to remember. :P
