PHP Code:

new buffer[size]
get_pcvar_string(cvar, buffer, charsmax(buffer))
//do something with buffer 


This is more or less pseudocode, adapt it to your situation. The idea is you do not pass the size of a string manually, you use charsmax() to determine it automatically. This way, you don't pass a wrong value and if you ever change the string size then you do not need to change it in every function that uses it.

I understood. So in this situation, I can set size of string, because It will be one char always.

Other question to this situation. When I change the value of cvar (amxx_lights) in example, to "m" on the server, it will change the light without waiting to next round. How can I do this?

set_task

I did this:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

#define PLUGIN "Server Lights"
#define VERSION "0.1"
#define AUTHOR "chick"

new g_cvarLight

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin ( PLUGIN , VERSION , AUTHOR )
    
    g_cvarLight = register_cvar ( "server_light", "m") //"m" - default light
    
    if (!task_exists(g_cvarLight))
    set_task (0.1, "setServerLight", g_cvarLight, _, _, "b")
}

public setServerLight(g_cvarLight)
{    
    new pLight [2]
    
    get_pcvar_string (g_cvarLight, pLight, charsmax(pLight))
    set_lights (pLight)
} 


It's correct? That task will not bugging?

I did this because I use 1.8.2

Even so you can hook cvar change using orpheu or arkshine cvar hook module

Answering questions that were asked of you is very helpful so you should consider doing so. Often this will save a lot of time and prevent people from wasting their time doing things that you're not actually requesting.

Well it's true that you can use orpheu, but it doesn't work on rehlds, and I don't really want to have many unnecessary includes, but if you are making this plugin for yourself and you don't use rehlds, you should consider.

If you need instant cvar changes for 1.8.2 and only orpheu can do it, then how is it "unnecessary"? Please do not start again the "I only want to include one module" syndrome.
There is absolutely no reason not to have "many includes".

Who said orpheu doesn't work for ReHLDS?

You only need to find amxmodx cvar change signatures.
