Hello, I am building a reward system based on the drop table when the game ends I am going to request a random item from the drop table how can I block cheaters from abusing it? so like they won't "hack" the game and invoke the function
and another thing is, how can I give coins as a reward?
how can I block cheaters from abusing it?
You can't. If the client has authority over the current gameplay, a hacker can send whatever gameplay result he wants. Like "Monsters killed in the last dungeon: 999999".
Your only solutions are:
Use a gameserver. That's gonna be expensive and a lot more difficult to develop.
Change the design so that you can mitigate abuse. Like an energy mechanic for loot, so you know the player can only get loot 5 times per hour for example. He can still cheat the gameplay, but he will be progress limited by the backend-controlled energy mechanic.
Thank you, and do I have a limit on how many times I can call the drop table API? because I am going to call it per player on the end of the game it will be around 30 players
They don't have a limit and can't have a limit. If you have a gameserver, you should let the gameserver manage the droptable.
I don't have a game server. thank you and the last thing is I saw the docs it seems that I will need to use azure function is there a way for me to let drop table give the item in one call? or do I have to call grantitem after that
