Why does this not work? What am I doing wrong?

SendConVarValue(client, FindConVar("sv_downloadurl"), "http://webspace/cstrike/");

Also, does the client have a cvar which it stores its location in? with 0 being west coast or something.

Try.

PHP Code:

ClientCommand(Client, "sv_downloadurl http://webspace/cstrike/");

And then you realize that Master53's code doesn't work.

When are you calling SendConVarValue TheAvengers ?

Why not just set the global ( server ) once since it sends it to all clients?

Oh and were looking for sv_region ? That is server side thought not client side.

SendConVarValue

Notes: Replicates a convar value to a specific client. This does not change the actual convar value.

PHP Code:

bool:SendConVarValue(client, Handle:convar, const String:value[]); 


PHP Code:

new Handle:sv_downloadurl = INVALID_HANDLE;

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_activate", PlayerActive, EventHookMode_Post);
    sv_downloadurl = FindConVar("sv_downloadurl");
}

public PlayerActive(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    decl client;
    client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if(!IsFakeClient(client))
    {
        SendConVarValue(client, sv_downloadurl, "http://webspace/cstrike/");
    }
} 


Hahahaha
Now you can replace your server "fastdownload" address to another from all players.
They still download missing content from your real server sv_downloadurl "address"

Thanks for all of your suggestions guys! I have however, found an alternative method of doing what I wanted. To my surprise, HL2 appears to actually perform the necessary actions of certain HTTP status codes. So I ended up setting up a HTTP redirect server which simply queried the IP Address against a huge list of IP Ranges, determining the country, then redirecting them to my fastest FastDL server in the region.

Once again, thank you for anytime spent offering your suggestions! Though they may not have worked in the end, I'm just happy to have finally found a simple solution.
