I want to disable the announcement to players of certain cvar changes, like bot_quota.

It looks like the available control of cvar flags is limited. I do a ConCommandBase scan and find the cvar so I can later change the value. That is working.

At the same time I can query for various flags with:

bool notify = pCmd->IsFlagSet(FCVAR_NOTIFY);

However, I would like to get the whole flag word in order to see what other flags are set but m_nFlags is not public. I could do a 32-bit loop and check them all but what seems wasteful (this is only done once tho).

It looks like there may be another way but it may not be public either - this comment appears in the iconvar.h file:

PHP Code:

    // Accessors.. not as efficient as using GetState()/GetInfo()
    // if you call these methods multiple times on the same IConVar
    virtual bool IsFlagSet( int nFlag ) const = 0; 


Also, I notice that there is an "AddFlags()" method but nothing mentioned to delete or replace flags.

So, any ideas on the best way to do this? Will I need to run an "Init()" to clear the flags and then manually reset the flags and the value?

Any help appreciated.

Well, I cheated and made m_nFlags protected in convar.h so I can access it from a derived class. That works but I would like to leave the SDK untouched, if possible.

I don't have sourcemod in this - it is a pure MetaMod:Source plug-in, so I was just linking to the HL2 SDK.

That link is interesting tho, I need to look closer at how SM does some things.

The most dirties way:

PHP Code:

#define GET_CVAR_FLAGS(cvar_addr) *(int *)((char *)cvar_addr + 20)
#define ADD_CVAR_FLAG(cvar_addr, flag) *(int *)((char *)cvar_addr + 20) |= flag
#define REMOVE_CVAR_FLAG(cvar_addr, flag) *(int *)((char *)cvar_addr + 20) &= ~flag 


But if ConCommandBase was to change we would be fucked anyway.
