Wouldn't that add the cheat flag?

Anyways, I will try SetConVarInt.

sorry, flags_z_speed &= ~FCVAR_CHEAT

Okay, SetConVarInt works, but why does it work and ServerCommand doesn't?

I'm sure ServerCommand works too once you have stripped the cheatflag, but you shouldn't use ServerCommand, as the command line parsing costs performance.

Well I would rather just use ServerCommand for simplicity.

public CServerCommand(String:args[])
{
    decl String:arg[255];
    GetCmdArg(1, arg, 255);
    
    decl String:arg2[255];
    GetCmdArg(2, arg2, 255);
    
    new Handle:handle = FindConVar(arg);
    if (handle != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        new flags = GetConVarFlags(handle);
        SetConVarFlags(handle, flags & ~FCVAR_CHEAT);
        ServerCommand("%s",args); //Doesn't work
        //SetConVarInt(handle,StringToInt(arg2)); //Does work
        SetConVarFlags(handle, flags);
    }
}

ServerCommand always gives the cheats must be enabled.

Can't use cheat cvar z_speed in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.

ServerCommand is not immediate, the string is inserted into a buffer. The buffer is parsed incrementally such that one command is tokenized and run each frame.

This indeed means performance cost, but more importantly, you don't know when the command will actually run, and by the time it does the cheat flag has been re-added.

Okay, thanks.

[high6]

If I don't use ServerCommand, how do I tell how to handle what the user entered?
