cvar = register_cvar("very_cool_cvar", "1")

I know that I can get the "1" with get_pcvar_num, but is it possible to get the string "very_cool_cvar"?

He wants the cvar name, he is not asking how to get a string value from a cvar. OP, why do you need this ?

[siriusmd99]

i think you need this :

native CvarGetName( handleCvar, const cvar[], len );

You should explain what are you really trying to achieve, because getting name is usually not useful.

I came up with the idea of making a CS Essentials plugin, inspired by the one used in Minecraft. If you're not familiar with it, the plugin has a bunch of commands that use special permissions, for example "essentials.tphere" (this permission allows you to use the "/tphere" command). In order to achieve something similar, I register every permission as a cvar and add an admin flag to it - register_cvar("essentials.tphere", "d"). So, when the user doesn't have the required flag, I want to make a chat message that will say "Insufficent permissions ( essentials.tphere ). Isn't there a simple way of doing this?

You will have to use get_plugins_cvar/nums() so to loop over all cvars, checking by handle, then saving the cvar name.

In 1.8.3, I did added first a get_pcvar_name, but removed later because could not find any usefulness in it. Could add a stock using above natives, or reintroducing get_pcvar_name, don't know.

I'd rather make it like this for now:

PHP Code:

new essentials_tp, essentials_tphere
new const g_Permissions[][] = { "essentials.tp", "essentials.tphere" }

essentials_tp = register_cvar(g_Permissions[0], "d")
essentials_tphere = register_cvar(g_Permissions[1], "d") 


Adding a simple function for this would be quite useful.

PS: Is something like this possible?

PHP Code:

new essentials_tp, essentials_tphere

new const g_Permissions[][] = {
    essentials_tp, "essentials.tp", "d"
    essentials_tphere, "essentials.tphere", "d"
}

for new(i = 0; i < sizeof(g_Permissions) - 2; i += 3)
    g_Permissions[i] = register_cvar(i+1; i+2) 


//Edit: nevermind, I found a somewhat simple way:

PHP Code:

if(!user_permission(id, essentials_tphere, "essentials.tphere", 1))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED

A period (.) is not a valid word character, is it a valid character for cvars?

[OciXCrom]

Cvars are strings, therefore I see no reason for it to be invalid, nor I'm having any problems with it.
