Disable Abort Button

[bumyplum 10]

Is there anyway to permently disable the abort button, at the moment i have

_abortButton =(findDisplay 49)displayCtrl 104;
_abortButton ctrlEnable false;    

Which disables it whilst your on it

Untested:

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown",{
	if (inputAction "ingamePause" > 0) then {
		// escape menu opened
		_abortButton =(findDisplay 49)displayCtrl 104;
		_abortButton ctrlEnable false;
	};
}];

I don't believe that works

Yes it does. It establishes that even with a disabled abort button there's nothing won. Trying to hinder players from quitting a game should never, not ever, be achieved by disabling the function to close the program - that's the moment you interfere not with their game but with their system, which I find highly obtrusive and cocky.

If you want to hinder players from quitting willy-nilly you might want to look into some sort of persistency saving system (like in DayZ, where your player avatar would remain in the game world for a certain amount of time after quitting, or something like an auto ban if a firedNear-Event has been handled shortly before quitting). If none of that applies to you, you should rather keep your fingers from removing any meta game functions.

Good point, agreed. I was only thinking about wether I could, not whether I should

I do agree with what you have said about disabling the abort button. However if you had explained your post better instead of writing only #altf4 it would have made much more sense.

That remembers me the KK's remark in the middle in his tuto.

It's more for the know how than the actual usage of it.

In which file are these parameters located?

I'm currently trying to disable the "abort button" in order to force players to utilize another button named "player exit" in the ALiVE mod...

[] spawn {
  while {uiSleep 0.2; true} do {
    if (!isNull findDisplay 49) then {
      (findDisplay 49)displayCtrl 104 ctrlEnable false;
    };
  };
};

Thank you! This is a much better solution than what I came up with. I enjoy creating missions but scripting is above my paygrade, as they would say.

I found a script shared here and ended up editing it to make it work for my needs:
 

 

I edited it to have it always active instead of only when the player is unconscious but it needs to be toggled on by an admin...

if (serverCommandAvailable "#kick") then {
with uiNamespace do  
					{ 
						_ctrl = findDisplay 49 ctrlCreate ["RscButton", -1]; 
						_ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0.917656 * safezoneW + safezoneX,0.94 * safezoneH + safezoneY,0.0773437 * safezoneW,0.044 * safezoneH]; 
						_ctrl ctrlSetText "Disable/Enable Abort"; 
						_ctrl ctrlCommit 0; 
						_ctrl ctrlAddEventHandler ["ButtonDown",  
						 { 
                        _status = missionNamespace getVariable ["TAG_abortIsAllowed",true];
                        if (_status) then {missionNamespace setVariable ["TAG_abortIsAllowed",false,true];systemChat "Abort Button Disabled"} else {missionNamespace setVariable ["TAG_abortIsAllowed",true,true]; systemchat "Abort Button Enabled"};
						 
						  
						 }]; 
					};
};

_status = missionNamespace getVariable ["TAG_abortIsAllowed",true];
if (_status) exitWith {};
disableSerialization;

// Check if player is an admin
if (isServer || (isDedicated && (player getVariable ["isAdmin", false]))) then {

} else {
    // Remove the abort button from non-admins
    ((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 104) ctrlShow false;
};

The way that it works, is when you load into the scenario, you have to log in as admin and toggle the "Disable/Enable Abort" button once to disable the button for everybody else until server restart.

Again, thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to help out guys like myself who aren't all that smart but love making missions.
