Hey, i'm trying to create a global cvar. I want to find this cvar e.g on http://www.game-monitor.com/.

What i'm trying:

PHP Code:

ConVar *announcer_version = new ConVar ("annnouncer_version", "0.5B", FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_NOTIFY, "Announcer Version"); 


and i also tried:

PHP Code:

g_pCVar->Init();

ConVar *announcer_version = new ConVar ("annnouncer_version", "0.5B", FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_NOTIFY, "Announcer Version");
ConCommandBase *announcer_version_command = announcer_version;

#if !defined GAME_HL2 
    g_pCVar->RegisterConCommand(announcer_version_command);
#else
    g_pCVar->RegisterConCommandBase(announcer_version_command);
#endif

announcer_version->SetValue("0.5B"); 


But it doesn't work?

Can please anyone help?

I have been using this mechanism:

define in global area:

ConVar announcer_version("annnouncer_version", "0.5B",  FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_NOTIFY, "Announcer Version");

also add in the global area:

/** 
 * Something like this is needed to register cvars/CON_COMMANDs.
 */
class BaseAccessor : public IConCommandBaseAccessor
{
public:
    bool RegisterConCommandBase(ConCommandBase *pCommandBase) {
	/* Always call META_REGCVAR instead of going through the engine. */
	return (META_REGCVAR(pCommandBase));
    }
} s_BaseAccessor;

In Load(), make sure this is included already:

GET_V_IFACE_CURRENT(GetEngineFactory, icvar, ICvar, CVAR_INTERFACE_VERSION);

after the SH_ADD_HOOKs in Load(), add:

#if SOURCE_ENGINE >= SE_ORANGEBOX
    g_pCVar = icvar;
    ConVar_Register(0, &s_BaseAccessor);
#else
    ConCommandBaseMgr::OneTimeInit(&s_BaseAccessor);
#endif

Finally your set value:

announcer_version.SetValue("0.5B");

I didn't use the "new" construction but it should work by adjusting the above.

Thanks

honestly i'm only coding a vsp plugin, sry i didn't mentioned that. But i tried it also like you did it, but it didn't work

PHP Code:


// Globals

ConVar plugin_ver( "annnouncer_version", "0.5B" );


// In your Load() function after assigning interfaces

g_pCvar->RegisterConCommand((ConCommandBase*)&plugin_ver);

Thanks! Will report status soon^^

Don't forget to UnregisterConCommand() on Unload or your plugin will crash as the game exits.

Thank you very much, i only added the flags "FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_NOTIFY", so it's visible with game-monitor^^

I'm very confused, because i thought i did it just like you^^
