What am I missing?

Flags for Cvar are not ADMIN_* flags.

I pulled out needed code from the original, didn't post the full code, don't think It's needed anymore. (Edited first post).

Every other cvar has the same 3rd parameter and has no such problem. This one in roundStart() is only troubling.

That's bad. Maybe your plugin_init() isn't finishing its execution since there is a runtime error in it and because of that your cvar doesn't get registered.

It doesn't matter, with ADMIN_BAN you are actually passing in FCVAR_EXTDLL which is already set for your cvar. You just got lucky here, you should always pass a value that parameter expects. Use FCVAR_* flags there, not ADMIN_* flags.

Ohhhh, I totally misunderstood the 3rd parameter for all these years lol. I removed 3rd parameters in each cvar definition and still get the same error, though.

Then the error is somewhere else. Maybe something in plugin_init() is wrong and the function stops before reaching the register_cvar() function.

Maybe you accidentally modified g_clearShells pointer somewhere in your code and now it's not a cvar pointer anymore. Use ctrl+ f and try to find maybe you accidentally used it somewhere else.

[redivcram]

Came across a post by accident. They say defining cvars should be above registering forwards, events, etc.
Did so and everything works fine now.

I always check my codes like that. The search option is a good friend.
