adding gold/lumber cheats to any map in 3 easy steps!

[Dekar]

*needed tools*

if you follow my steps it should work without any problems!
so please give credits!

part one

youll need mpq recover and mpq master
first of all use mpq-recover to get a listfile for your map
and save it in the listfiles directory of mpq master.
now open your map using mpq master
and load your map
using your listfile (and the other ones already in the directory).
there may be 2 cases now...
1st one is, theres a file named war3map.j
then just extract it!
2nd one is, theres no war3map.j but a folder named
Scripts.
go into this folder and extract the war3map.j which is inside.

part two

open the extracted war3map.j with JassCraft or your favourite editor. (dont use wordpad!)
during reading the first lines you should be able to find globals,
scroll down until you find something like trigger (xy)
( (xy) can be anything)
now add the following line (just place it between other triggers):

Code: Select all

trigger gg_trg_blubb=null

go on searching for endfunction
and add the following under it:

Code: Select all

function Trig_blubb_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call AdjustPlayerStateBJ( 1000, GetTriggerPlayer(), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD )
endfunction
function InitTrig_blubb takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_blubb = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(12), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(11), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(10), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(9), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(8), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(7), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(6), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(5), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(4), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(3), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(2), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(1), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_blubb, Player(0), "-cheat", true )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_blubb, function Trig_blubb_Actions )
endfunction

(you can change PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD to PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER
guess what it changes ;) )

now search for function main
and look for a line starting with call
now add:

Code: Select all

call InitTrig_blubb(  )

under it.
just save the file!

part three

open the map again (using mpq master and the listfile)
now delete (attributes) if its there
and override the old war3map.j using your new one.
grats, you are done!
you can add gold (lumber) by chatting "-cheat" anytime during game!

[EDIT by Aero --> Shouldn't it be...]

Code: Select all

function GoldCheat takes nothing returns nothing
local player p=GetTriggerPlayer()
call SetPlayerState(p,PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD,GetPlayerState(p,PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD)+1000)
set p=null
endfunction
 
function InitTrig_blubb takes nothing returns nothing 
local trigger t=CreateTrigger()
local integer i=0
loop
exitwhen i>12
call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent(t,Player(i),"-cheat",true)
set i=i+1
endloop
call TriggerAddAction(t,function GoldCheat)
call DestroyTrigger(t)
set t=null 
endfunction

thx
That helped me a lot
I started looking at all this map deprotect and map protect stuff (not that I cheat or so )
I wanna see if I can do stuff like that too...
For me, it looks kind of complicated but for that kind of stuff this forum is here right?

mfg, Kalle

how do you enable single player?

[Dekar]

stop spamming my forum!
enable singleplayer is custom for every map!
i cant write a general tutorial for this!
you need to learn programming jass!

greets Dekar

[hamster]

im not spamming. ty for answer.

[Dekar]

this thread is just about this cheating method and ill make other
tutorials in future! so dont ask about other ways of cheating here!
