So I'm making a new race that gambles between positive and negative buffs.  One of the gambles is for various types of immunity.  I want to make the bad stuff that happens in that gamble that the player can't access certain shopmenu items (or the shopmenu at all).

Is there a way to lockdown either certain shopmenu items or the entire shopmenu from within a race?  I know how to do this for an entire race from within the war3source.cfg file, but I want to know if it's possible to do from within a race (so I can reenable them again next round, etc).

Any help appreciated!

There should be a W3Event to interfere with the shopmenu/purchase

There is indeed, although I don't think there's anything to lock out opening the shopmenu itself.

Thanks, this is my first forray into w3events.

Having a look through the enum list for it I notice a levelbank w3event also.  Does that mean I could theoretically use that to stop people from using their levelbank on a particular race?

Does anyone have any sort of guide to how i would go about using the w3event to interfere with shopmenu / levelbank?

I can work out how to pick up what I want (something like the below), but not really sure how to then modify what's presented.

Code:
public OnWar3Event(W3EVENT:event,client){
if(event==DoShowShopMenu){
// WHAT GOES HERE ?
}
}

I think you can't deny W3Events, thats why there is W3Deny.

There's no existing W3Denyable yet to do so, but war3source is opensource Smiley

I've added a new W3Denyable - see svn.

So something like this should stop them from opening the shopmenu?

Code:
public OnW3Denyable(W3DENY:event, client)
{
if(event==DN_CanBuyItem1){
W3Deny();
War3_ChatMessage(client,"%T","You can't buy shopmenu items",client);
}
}

If so, that's awesome!  Any chance you could do something similar for the levelbank?  The idea for the levelbank is to create a truly grinding race, that as you level up it gets harder and which can't be leveled up by tomes or levelbank.

EDIT: ignore the lack of usual checking functions (raceid, validplayer, etc)

EDIT2: Also, if I understand correctly, does that also mean I could then test EventArg1 for which item it is and block individual items only? eg -

Code:
public OnW3Denyable(W3DENY:event, client)
{
if( War3_GetRace( client ) == thisRaceID && ValidPlayer( client ) && ShopmenuToggle[client] == true)
{
if(event==DN_CanBuyItem1)
{
new item = W3GetVar(EventArg1);
decl String:itemname[64];
W3GetItemName(item,itemname,sizeof(itemname));
if(StrEqual(itemname, "necklace"))
{
W3Deny();
War3_ChatMessage(client,"%T","You can't buy the necklace this round.",client);
}
else if(StrEqual(itemname, "shield"))
{
W3Deny();
War3_ChatMessage(client,"%T","You can't buy the shield this round.",client);
}
}
}
}

They can still open the shopmenu, but can't buy anything.

{

War3_ChatMessage(client,"%T","You can't buy the shield this round.",client);
}
}
}
}

exactly, that will stop players from buying single items(like necavi said).

That's great, thanks Revan!  Any chance of adding a denyable to levelbanking as well?  That would allow me to create the ultimate grinding race Cheesy

yes I can do that but I'm currently at work, you can also try to do it by yourself (just see svn diff I posted before for instructions).

EDIT: done(rev. >=882) Smiley
