Hi all,
how can i set a cvar (or a cmd) each time the server auto-resets it?

For example: I want bots are only allowed to play handguns while my plugin is loaded, no matter what is configured in server.cfg. So i set

ServerCommand("bot_pistols_only")

But on what time do i execute that? I just implemented a hook on round_start, but that is not very nice.

PHP Code:

public OnConfigsExecuted()
{
    // Do stuff here
}

I prefer something like this.

PHP Code:

new Handle:cvar_bot_pistols_only = INVALID_HANDLE;

public OnPluginStart()
{    
    cvar_bot_pistols_only = FindConVar("bot_pistols_only");
    HookConVarChange(cvar_bot_pistols_only, OnCVarChange);
}

public OnCVarChange(Handle:convar_hndl, const String:oldValue[], const String:newValue[])
{
    SetConVarBool(cvar_bot_pistols_only, true);
}

Thanks for your answers.

exvel: I had that idea, too, but it only works if you are realy watching a cvar. "bot_pistols_only" is no cvar, so you will get INVALID_HANDLE from FindConVar("bot_pistols_only").
I would prefer bl4nk's solution here, looks clean and conceptional. If that is not enough, i try to use HookConVarChange. Thanks again!

hmmm... it seems that OnConfigsExecuted gets executed at the time of executing, not after it. So if i set something there it gets overwritten immediately.

Maybe i have to add some ConVarChange hooks on the associated cvars after all.

/edit: that is not nice, but works as expected:

PHP Code:

new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowMachineGuns = INVALID_HANDLE;     //If nonzero, bots may use the machine gun.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowPistols = INVALID_HANDLE;      //If nonzero, bots may use pistols.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowRifles = INVALID_HANDLE;    //If nonzero, bots may use rifles.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowShotguns = INVALID_HANDLE;    //If nonzero, bots may use shotguns.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowSubMachineGuns = INVALID_HANDLE;    //If nonzero, bots may use sub-machine guns.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowSnipers = INVALID_HANDLE;    //If nonzero, bots may use sniper rifles.
new Handle:g_cVarBotAllowGrenades = INVALID_HANDLE;    //If nonzero, bots may use grenades.

public OnPluginStart()
{
    ServerCommand("bot_pistols_only");

    g_cVarBotAllowMachineGuns = FindConVar("bot_allow_machine_guns");
    g_cVarBotAllowPistols = FindConVar("bot_allow_pistols");
    g_cVarBotAllowRifles = FindConVar("bot_allow_rifles");
    g_cVarBotAllowShotguns = FindConVar("bot_allow_shotguns");
    g_cVarBotAllowSubMachineGuns = FindConVar("bot_allow_sub_machine_guns");
    g_cVarBotAllowSnipers = FindConVar("bot_allow_snipers");
    g_cVarBotAllowGrenades = FindConVar("bot_allow_grenades");
    
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowMachineGuns, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowPistols, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowRifles, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowShotguns, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowSubMachineGuns, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowSnipers, OnCVarChange);
    HookConVarChange(g_cVarBotAllowGrenades, OnCVarChange);
    ...
}

public OnCVarChange(Handle:convar_hndl, const String:oldValue[], const String:newValue[])
{
    ServerCommand("bot_pistols_only");
}

As I told you. I just didn't know that it is something like command

Instead of OnConfigsExecuted, you might have more luck using OnAutoConfigsBuffered.
