Is there anyway?

You can macro-proof your verbs by putting a time delay on them, like so:

<code>mob/var/attacklock=0 mob/verb/attack(mob/enemy) if (attacklock) return attacklock=1 spawn(10) attacklock=0 // attack code goes here</code>

As for disabling macros themselves, I don't believe there is a way.

Ooh! You could set a script that takes up every single macro in the game, thus leaving nothing for the person to set as a macro!

Except that macros set by the user override ones set by the game (I think).

Bah! Macros set by the game should override the user's macros.

Make a new .dms file. Put something like this for every key.


macro
a return "macroproc"
b return "macroproc"
c return "macroproc"
d return "macroproc"
e return "macroproc"
f return "macroproc"
g return "macroproc"
etc.

mob/verb
macroproc()
set hidden = 1


This will override the usr's macros making it impossible to use any macros.

You didn't write the whole script though, did ya? :)

Besides, it isn't very hard to turn that idea into a script; it's fairly self-evident how to do it.
