Spoiler

PHP Code:

public Action tAutoTimerUpdatePlayer(Handle timer, any data)
{
    if(!cvPunishTankAlive.BoolValue)
        vCountTanks();
    if(!cvEnablePlugin.BoolValue || !cvPunishEnable.BoolValue || !cvPunishAutoMode.BoolValue || cvPunishDistanceLimit.IntValue == 0 || iNumTanks3 || !bIsNotConsole() || !bIsSystemValid())
        return Plugin_Continue;
    float flPlayerPos[3];
    float flPos[3];
    GetClientEyePosition(iPlayerIndex, flPlayerPos);
    int iPlayerCount = 0;
    int iBotCount = 0;
    int iClosestCompanionCount = 1;
    int iCompanionCount = 1;
    for(int iPlayer = 1; iPlayer <= MaxClients; iPlayer++)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(iPlayer) && GetClientTeam(iPlayer) == 2 && IsPlayerAlive(iPlayer))
        {
            if(IsFakeClient(iPlayer))
                iBotCount++;
            else
                iPlayerCount++;
            if(iPlayer == iPlayerIndex)
                continue;
            GetClientEyePosition(iPlayer, flPos);
            if(GetVectorDistance(flPos, flPlayerPos) < cvPunishDistanceLimit.FloatValue)
                iCompanionCount++;
            if(GetVectorDistance(flPos, flPlayerPos) <= 500.0)
                iClosestCompanionCount++;
        }
    }

    iPlayerCompanionCount[iPlayerIndex] = iCompanionCount;
    iPlayerClosestCompanionCount[iPlayerIndex] = iClosestCompanionCount;
    if(iCompanionCount > 1 && iBotCount + iPlayerCount > 1)
    {
        flPlayerAloneStartTime[iPlayerIndex] = GetEngineTime();
        bMsg[iPlayerIndex] = true;
    }

    else
    {
        if(bMsg[iPlayerIndex] && bIsValidClient(iPlayerIndex))
            PrintHintText(iPlayerIndex, "[ASS] %t", "SpecialWarn");
        bMsg[iPlayerIndex] = false;
    }

    if((iBotCount + iPlayerCount > 1 && GetEngineTime() - flPlayerAloneStartTime[iPlayerIndex] > 1.0) && (flPlayerSpawnTime[iPlayerIndex] + flPlayerSpawnInterval[iPlayerIndex] < GetEngineTime()))
    {
        CreateTimer(0.1, tTimerPunishSpeedrunners, iPlayerIndex, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);
        flPlayerSpawnTime[iPlayerIndex] = GetEngineTime();
        if(cvPunishMinSeconds.IntValue != 0 && cvPunishMaxSeconds.IntValue != 0)
            flPlayerSpawnInterval[iPlayerIndex] = GetRandomFloat(cvPunishMinSeconds.FloatValue, cvPunishMaxSeconds.FloatValue);
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Though, the callback isn't the problem. I'm just wondering why setting the cvar value to 0.1 and using ConVar.FloatValue to retrieve it returns 0. I thought it'd be the same as manually setting the timer to 0.1.

I suppose when doing ConVar.BoolValue it works as follows: 0.9 (any number with 0 as the whole number rounds off to 0) ~= 0 = false, 1.1 (anything with 1 as the whole number rounds off to 1) ~= 1 = true (if true, that value will be used as the bool value).

And for ConVar.FloatValue, it seems to work as follows: 0.9 (any number with 0 as the whole number rounds off to 0) ~= 0 = false, 5.5 (1 or any value greater than 1) ~= 1 = true (if true, that value will be used as the float value).
