Hi,

Am I doing something just plain stupid or ...?

PHP Code:

new Handle:hndlPure = FindConVar("sv_pure");        
PrintToConsole(client, "    - sv_pure %d",GetConVarInt(hndlPure)); 


Crashes the plugin...

When I type

PHP Code:

sm_cvar sv_pure 


It says

PHP Code:

[SM] Unable to find cvar: sv_pure 


Please help?

It's not a cvar, it's a command. When typed, it tells you a phantom "value".

I know it looks like a cvar, but it's not.

Thanks for pointing that out!
I'm pretty sure you can guess my next question :

How can one retrieve this phantom value?

I have looked at the API and at the tutorials, but I'm still not sure...

I can find explainations on how to create commands and reply to them,
but not on how to capture their reply?

I tried to get sv_pure by many ways a while ago and failed. You can't get cmd reply so the only thing that can point us to which value sv_pure has is an extension. =(

[Carolus]

Im still pretty new to all of this, but I have managed to get some properties as in

PHP Code:

FindSendPropOffs("CBasePlayer","m_vecVelocity[0]"); 


Is there none of these that may tell us the sv_pure value or allow us
to deduce it?

Thanks for the help!

I've searched all net/data props and found nothing useful.

It may be useful to know your intentions. (if it is for admins to change sv_pure)

Anyone can query the value easily enough. If you would like the admins to change it, create convars that they can change - hook the cvar change and just process a server command with whatever argument they give you.

sv_pure is not clientside, nor will it be a netprop (to the best of my knowledge)

this is sorta how i did a few things like god mode toggle.. that command is the same as sv_pure.
what i did was just create a bool and toggle it every time the command was issued.. could also accept args of 0/1 on/off. the thing about the bool is it has no way of knowing if the command is changed by any other means then your plugin.

Well my intention is to have my plugin work in different modes, depending on the current sv_pure value.

Changing it should indeed be rather easy..but its not what I'm trying to do

What about this :

PHP Code:

CommandListener

Callback for command listeners. This is invoked whenever any command reaches the server, from the server console itself or a player 


Default value for sv_pure is 0.
Can't I "save" all changes that are made to it using the CommandListener?

When the server first boots, use the default 0 value,
whenever someone/something tries to change it, the CommandListener should be called, right?

If I can keep track of any and all changes to the sv_pure using the CommandListener, I should be able to "know" what sv_pure value is currently set?
