[EO3.0] BIG Events bug exploit.

[Tic Tac 2]

If you hold down CTRL, you can activate an event more than once, hundreds of hundreds of times. So let's say, there's an event that gives you 100 gold and then teleports you after pressing continue in a dialogue, you could hold down ctrl to activate that event 100 times, and when you press continue, you'll get the reward x 100, so 10,000 gold. This works with any event. You can make any event do something a lot of times by holding ctrl down.

I'm using Eclipse Final Frontier, an EO3.0 engine that built on extra features such as minimap and other goodies.

You could solve this by making it so you can't interact/attack with the event during dialogue. But i don't know how to do that in the source. Could somebody help me? I'll pay you five bucks on paypal.

Add my skype: emil1000123

Or suggest solutions here if you're willing to help :-)

Very many thanks!!

EXAMPLE
: I'm holding down CTRL to activate an event that cooks a shrimp once, takes away the raw shrimp and gives you a cooked one.


**I held CTRL down a lot, now i got a lot of cooking experience and cooked shrimp, for just having one shrimp and holding ctrl during the choices dialogue.**

Check this thread, I had the same problem 3 years ago. The problem is solved in that thread, although it's client-side so someone might try to hack it. The best solution would be to create a server-side boolean in player rec that checks if an event is running and not allow to run more than 1 event.

Edit: the bug fix is this one: [http://www.eclipseorigins.com/index.php?/topic/131756-bug-fixeo-event-sys-event-system-multiply-activating/](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/index.php?/topic/131756-bug-fixeo-event-sys-event-system-multiply-activating/)

Thanks a lot. That fixed it.

If people have high enough ping, they can activate it 2 or 4 times now with the client-side fix. Can you set it up server side for me? I'm not very familiar with the Eclipse source or VB6, i can pay you too.
