Hello, I am trying to creating a plugin which changes a convar every 25 mins, the convar (dm_headshot_only) is from this deathmatch plugin. But I can't figure out how to get the convar and then use it, please be aware this is my first attempt writing a plugin.

Current code

#include <sourcemod> public Plugin myinfo = { name = "HS Only timer test", author = "Pankrakles", description = "Changes to and from HS only every 25 mins", version = "1.0", }; new Handle:g_hhsonly; public OnAllPluginsLoaded() { g_hhsonly = FindConVar("dm_headshot_only"); } public void OnPluginStart() { CreateTimer(5.0, Timer_ChangeHSOnly, _, TIMER_REPEAT); } public Action Timer_ChangeHSOnly(Handle timer) { PrintToServer("Test every 5 seconds"); g_hhsonly.IntValue = "1"; return Plugin_Continue; }

-The timer time is a placeholder just set to 5 seconds so I can see if it works

Would appreciate any help

you are mixing old syntax with new syntax

following should be all in new syntax

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
name = "HS Only timer test",
author = "Pankrakles",
description = "Changes to and from HS only every 25 mins",
version = "1.0",
};

Handle g_hhsonly;

public void OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
g_hhsonly = FindConVar("dm_headshot_only");

}

public void OnPluginStart()
{
CreateTimer(5.0, Timer_ChangeHSOnly, _, TIMER_REPEAT);
}

public Action Timer_ChangeHSOnly(Handle timer)
{
PrintToServer("Test every 5 seconds");
g_hhsonly.SetBool(true);

return Plugin_Continue;

}

Oh thanks, for this post should I just wait for a moderator to move it to the correct place?

What would the best way to toggle the convar between true/false, also I get this error when trying to compile what you sent

PHP Code:

error 105: cannot find method or property Handle.SetBool

Handle g_hhsonly;

should be

ConVar g_hhsonly;

PHP Code:

public Action Timer_ChangeHSOnly(Handle timer)
{
    PrintToServer("Test every 5 seconds");

    if (g_hhsonly.BoolValue)
        g_hhsonly.SetBool(false);
    else g_hhsonly.SetBool(true);

    return Plugin_Continue;

}

or

PHP Code:

public Action Timer_ChangeHSOnly(Handle timer) 
{ 
    PrintToServer("Test every 5 seconds");

    g_hhsonly.SetBool(!g_hhsonly.BoolValue);

    return Plugin_Continue; 
}
