Method 1: (get_cvar)

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init() {
    register_cvar("mycvar", "1") //num
    register_cvar("myothercvar", "something") //string
}

public get_values() {
    new cvar[32]
    get_cvar_string("myothercvar", cvar, 31)
    //and
    new cvarnum = get_cvar_num("mycvar")
} 


Method 2: (get_pcvar , get_cvar_pointer)

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init() {
    register_cvar("mycvar", "1") //num
    register_cvar("myothercvar", "something") //string
}

public get_values() {
    new cvar[32]
    get_pcvar_string(get_cvar_pointer("myothercvar"), cvar, 31)
    
    new cvarnum = get_pcvar_num(get_cvar_pointer("mycvar"))
} 


Method 3: (variables for cvars, get_pcvar)

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

new cvar
new othercvar

public plugin_init() {
    cvar = register_cvar("mycvar", "1") //num
    othercvar = register_cvar("myothercvar", "something") //string
}

public get_values() {
    new cvars[32]
    get_pcvar_string(othercvar, cvars, 31)
    //and
    new cvarnum = get_pcvar_num(cvar)
} 


I'm using method 1 and want to optimize it a bit and use method 2. Is method 3 better than method 2?

[Hunter-Digital]

Saving cvar pointer and retrieving with get_pcvar_* is the best method.

get_cvar_* functions are verry slow in comparison.

Method 2 is actually the worst of the three.

[ConnorMcLeod]

Method 3 is completely incorrect, can't see what you are trying to do.

Method 4 : using Cvar Utilities.

#include <amxmodx>
#include <cvar_util>

new HandleCvarMyCvar;
new HandleCvarOther;

new CvarNumber;
new CvarString[ 32 ];

public plugin_init()
{
    HandleCvarMyCvar = CvarRegister( "mycvar", "1" );
    HandleCvarOther  = CvarRegister( "myothercvar", "something" );
   
    CvarHookChangeAll( "OnCvarChange" );
}

public OnCvarChange( const handleCvar, const oldValue[], const newValue[], const cvarName[] )
{
    if( handleCvar == HandleCvarMyCvar )
    {
        CvarNumber = str_to_num( newValue );
    }
    else if( handleCvar == HandleCvarOther )
    {
        copy( CvarString, charsmax( CvarString ), newValue );
    }
}

Is it me or you should do it like this:

public OnCvarChange( const handleCvar, const oldValue[], const newValue[], const cvarName[] )
{
    if( HandleCvarMyCvar == handleCvar)
    {
        CvarNumber = str_to_num( newValue );
    }
    else if( HandleCvarOther == handleCvar)
    {
        copy( CvarString, charsmax( CvarString ), newValue );
    }
}

[Arkshine]

Oops. Typing too fastly. Fixed.

he has around 22 cvars xD
anything more adjustable?

[abdul-rehman]

That module is quite useful, he should use it if he can.
