[L4D2] SendConVarValue() not working..?

[Carl Sagan]

So for some reason I never knew about the SendConVarValue() function and I was very excited to try it out, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Here's what I have:

new Handle:hTongueRange = FindConVar("tongue_range");
SendConVarValue(client, hTongueRange, "2000");

I've tried returning the value (true or false) and it returns true every time, but the client doesn't have their smoker tongue range increased.

Any ideas?

SendConVarValue is used to lie to clients about the value of a cvar. While you're telling clients it's set to 2000, the server still enforces the previous value.

If you just want to change it, why not use SetConVarInt ?

I'm trying to increase the range for specific clients, not all of them.
