Fight Maphack!!

[ShAdOw_WoLf21]

Hi, I play melee often, and I can't stand maphackers. I've found a few anti maphack programs such as Hanstar and BWScanner, but both players have to have the program running in order for it to work. Anyway, I heard it's possible to edit a map so that players with maphack will drop (only on UMS). Can someone please teach me how to do this? Thanks a lot.

OK here is how. Make say, a cliff area, and on it put some canons for a neutral player or any other unit. Then place some canons below the cliff. Then, when a player turns on the hack, the canons will automatically kill the unit. All you have to make sure is that it is a unique unit. So then u say,

CONDITION
Player kills 1 of x unit

ACTION
Display Text: Haha you big fag, you hacked. Bye bye!
Wait 3 Seconds (for him to read it and think DAMN I HACKED AND LOOK WHERE IT GOT ME...
and then finally, the best part...
END SCENARIO IN DEFEAT FOR X PLAYER

WOOT WOOT WOOT! Hackers will get ****ed every time.

This works for UMS only. Don't ask about melee cause I got no idea. Your original post is kinda unclear about weather you want it to work for UMS or Melee.

Well.. I'm working on it, do you think you could tell me your bnet name (and server) so I can show it to you? I'm having some problems.

A better way is to have an independent command center in a place that is unaccessable, and would be completely black if the person did not have maphack. Then center the view there. When they see the independent command center they will crash.

Yea, it only works for UMS.

Don't even bother centering the view, just put each player's start locations somewhere in the fog of war, and then the independant CC (or whatever other crash unit you want) at that spot, and then remove it one second into the game. That'll get rid of the map hackers, and you don't have to worry about reserving a portion of the map for hack-check, which'd be highly inconvenient in a melee UMS (especially since someone could comsat and crash themselves by accident.)
