Disallowing the use of other programs

Still, I know a couple of people who've said they have hacked a quadrillion coins+, so I really want to try and stop the use of it.

Disallowing the use of other programs

So basically, I found out that it is possible to use 'cheat engine', which is a cheat engine that lets people ... cheat.

This defeats the whole purpose of my game, so I was wondering if there was any possible way for the game to shut down if someone opened a cheat engine, or if there was any other way to stop people from using it?

This is crucial because gaining money is a big part of my game, and I don't want it to be extemely easy to power through the game.

Thank you.

I know this is kind of off-topic, but what ever happened to your "sword-scape" games?
I can't believe someone actually remembers Swordscape! What happened was this: I noticed that hardly anyone cared about the game, yet I was spending so much time on it. So I stopped. I could pick the game back up, if you really wanted me to. Alternatively, I could just put what I have made already up for download.

Yeah, it would be fun to see it return! Maybe since you have a lot more experience it could be a lot better than the last one if you decide to ever finish it.

Feel free. I'm let's playing it too. It'll be interesting to see how your thoughts compare/contrast with mine.
Whats your YouTube account, so I can follow your series? Mine is Desmo360LP, and the first video will be up on saturday (I need two more days to finish the SMBX series I've already got going).

Best of luck to you as well!

I'm not sure how to make this any smaller.

Timer in Combat

That wouldn't really work though since some fights are very quick and others very slow. Is there a way in the script to change it?

Timer in Combat

I use RPGMaker XP.

I have a farming skill that allows a player to plant a seed, but as this happens a timer goes off which indicates when the plants will be ready to harvest. In the meantime, players can do other skills while they wait for their timer to decrease to 0:00. Once it does though, players ABSOLUTELY need to go harvest their plants because if it doesn't, madness occurs.

When a timer hits 0:00, Combat is AUTOMATICALLY disrupted. I would expect this to have to be something with the script, so I would have to change it through there...

It's just very annoying to see that people can plant a seed and then when the timer hits 0:00, anyone can complete a very hard quest without actually going through the battles.
What I need is a way to stop this - a way to stop the battle from being disrupted even though the timer hits 0:00.

Thank you.

How can I make my character die when not in a battle?

Thank you so much :)

How can I make my character die when not in a battle?

Sorry, I keep forgetting to put which game maker i'm using. It's XP.

Also, @JosephSeraph, thanks for that - I could use that as a last resort if there's nothing else that can simply switch KO on/off like you said before.
