[EUD] Prevent team kill points

The map: Team Micro Arena Legends

The problem: Native kill score is the driving force behind the game. We all know and follow the rules: No team killing to gain points. However, splash damage doesn't care about the rules. Namely, reaver splash is responsible for many illegitimate points. We've had this problem for years with no great solution other than to remove the reaver, but the reaver is a huge part of the early game.

Failed solution:

With the help of AI, I created two separate epScripts, that in conjunction with EUDDraft, I use to compile the map. The first attempts to emulate the native kill score using a custom score. The second attempts to roll back any points gained from team killing.

With the first script, everything seemed to work great but the game eventually crashed, so I abandoned it.

The second script also seems to work great most the time, but at random times it seems like points are being subtracted from players for no reason.

Here's the second script for anyone who might be familiar:

Quote
const tracked = UnitGroup(1700);

function isAlly(p1, p2)
{
if (p1 >= 0 && p1 <= 2 && p2 >= 0 && p2 <= 2) return 1;
if (p1 >= 3 && p1 <= 5 && p2 >= 3 && p2 <= 5) return 1;
return 0;
}

function afterTriggerExec()
{
foreach (ptr, epd : EUDLoopNewUnit())
{
tracked.add(epd);
}

foreach (unit : tracked.cploop)
{
foreach (dead : unit.dying)
{
dead.move_cp(0x4C / 4);
const victimOwner = bread_cp(0, 0);

dead.move_cp(0x64 / 4);
const unitType = wread_cp(0, 0);

dead.move_cp(0x90 / 4);
const killer = bread_cp(0, 0);

if (killer == victimOwner) continue;
if (killer < 0 || killer > 7) continue;

if (isAlly(killer, victimOwner))
{
const score = wread(0x00663EB8 + unitType * 2);

DoActions(
SetMemory(0x00581EA4 + killer * 4, Subtract, 1),
SetMemory(0x00581F04 + killer * 4, Subtract, score)
);
}
}
}
}


The line 'const killer = bread_cp(0, 0);' supposedly finds the "Last Attacking Player" of the dead unit. But I'm not certain if this is always the same "Confirmed Killer" that the engine uses to alter the native killscore table.

Does anyone have any expertise in this stuff who is willing to lend a hand or add some insight? I'm at my wit's end.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
