SendConVarValue can't change r_*** commands

ZASTRELIS · **Author**

I tried to change r_drawviewmodel command on client, but nothing happened.

Code:

SendConVarValue( client, FindConVar( "r_drawviewmodel" ), "0" );

And I don't understand why. Maybe SM can do this only with server commands?

It is only for replicated convars.

So at first I must duplicate this convar, then use? Or what's it : replicated?

Replicated convars are ones with the FCVAR_REPLICATED flag. They also show with the text "replicated" in the "cvarlist" output.

These exist on client and server, with the server having control over them and replicating any changes to the client automatically. SendConVarValue allows you to manually sent a client a different value for one of them.

hmm. Do I have a way for change r_drawviewmodel on client from server?

No.

why would you use a client convar when you can do it with "SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 0);"
