I am looking to update a plugin to work with newer games. I am stuck on iterating through the CVars. I saw the "Porting to Left 4 Dead" article but it doesn't seem to work. I have converted other parts to hit specific cvars/concommands, but there is one place I need to iterate through.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Keeper

Nevermind ... I got it working!

Yeah... very helpful.

LOL ... well I didn't know if it was something that was already known and I was just being daft.

    ConCommandBase *pPtr = NULL;
    ICvar::Iterator *iter = new ICvar::Iterator(icvar);
    if (iter) iter->SetFirst(); // added this to make it work, otherwise it's never valid
    while (iter->IsValid())
    {
        pPtr = iter->Get();
        // do other code here
        iter->Next();
    }

I was missing the call to SetFirst(). iter was defined, but I couldn't figure out why it was never valid.

Please use RAII

I'm not sure what that has to do with an example of how to iterate through CVars.

I didn't use an iterator but used GetCommands() to establish the ConCommandBase pointer.
The CS:GO version doesn't have GetCommands() not but FindCommandBase(s) where "s" is a string argument. What whould the string be to get it to work as before?

I may get impatient and just use the iterator but I wanted to "fix" the existing method.

Thanks.

It does not have to do anything with that. But well, it's not the C++ way of doing it "smoothly".

There are many places where I just grabbed the ConCommands by name. There's only one place where I iterate through. The only way I've seen to do this is by this method. I don't know if there is a reliable "first" ConCommand to use as "s".

Yeah, for what I am doing, I just need to grab a couple of them by name. I have one spot (a debug plug-in) where I list out all the convar commands and variables to a file for reference.
