How do you get a players mouse sensitivity? I did it like this:

PHP Code:

cvar_sensitivity = get_cvar_pointer("sensitivity"); 


Then try to retrieve it:

PHP Code:

get_pcvar_num(cvar_sensitivity); 


But it always returns "0" where as my setting is "3"...

query_client_cvar maybe. What you did works only for server cvars.

I know it's not related, but why would you ever want to know client's sensitivity setting?

I'm giving clients +10 to their sensitivity while they're zoomed-in with any sniper rifle...

As far as I am aware you can't (and shouldn't even if you can) change client's sensitivity. Also, how much would +10 affect them depends on DPI and other settings, meaning that the change is not constant and reliable, favoring some players over the others. And if someone disconnected while zoomed in their sensitivity would stay changed and you wouldn't be able to revert it. Just don't do it. There's zoom_sensitivity_ratio client cvar if someone wants that effect for themselves.

I suppose you're right. I actually did not know about zoom_sensitivity_ratio prior to this and would be easier to use that instead. Although regarding setting staying altered after the client leaves the game, there's a way to prevent that-- for educational purposes of course.

Since I'm storing each players sensitivity in g_sensitivity[33] when a player connects, I can set it back again when the player leaves.

PHP Code:

client_disconnect(id)
{
     set_cvar_num("sensitivity", g_sensitivity[id]);
} 


Either way, thank you for the information and advise. I now know of query_client_cvar and zoom_sensitivity_ratio...

With that code you'll change the server's sensitivity.

Don't make it too sensitive please.

It is impossible for the server to restore any settings for the player because you cannot send commands to a player that isn't in the server (i.e. has already disconnected).

You mean if I do this:

PHP Code:

set_cvar_num("zoom_sensitivity_ratio", 3); 


Everyone's setting changes? So what is the correct way of changing that particular player's setting?...
