Look at existing plugins that use cvars for how to use cvars. For each of your plugins, register a cvar like "mod1_running" then, set the value of that cvar to 1 when the mod is started and set the value of the cvar to 0 when it stops. You can check the value of the mod1 cvar in mod2 and vice versa.

So admins can change cvar by amx_cvar or?

I'm confused, like you mean I should remove the command that starts the mode, and replace it with a cvar?

If an admin has the cvar flag then yes.

I never said that. The cvar would be used merely for an indicator. If you have problems with admins changing the cvars, remove their cvar access or remove them as admins.

If you don't want to use cvars, use xvars. If you don't want to use xvars, use natives. If you don't want to use natives, then you can't do what you want. I.e. Just pick one and do it.

Ok thanks alot man.

I'll try using cvars.

PS. is Pcvars same as cvars? Thanks :p


EDIT: Here is what I tried.

Plugin1:

PHP Code:

new g_ghost_active[12] 


PHP Code:

public plugin_init()     
{     
g_ghost_active = register_cvar("ghostmode_active", "0", FCVAR_SPONLY) 


PHP Code:

public gwm(id, level, cid) //the mode's function
{     
set_pcvar_num(ghostmode_activate, 1)

if(!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 1))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    if(g_bGhostRunning)
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** Mode is already running")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** You must be alive to activate the mode")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if (get_pcvar_string(g_sologunner_active, 1, 11);
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** Solo Gunner Mode is running at the moment.")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    } 


Plugin2:

PHP Code:

new g_sologunner_active[12] 


PHP Code:

g_sologunner_active = register_cvar("sologunner_active", "0", FCVAR_SPONLY) 


PHP Code:

public gwm(id, level, cid) //modes function
{     
    set_pcvar_num(ghostmode_activate, 1)
    
    if(!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 1))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    if(g_bGhostRunning)
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** Mode is already running")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** You must be alive to activate the mode.")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if (get_pcvar_string(ghostmode_activate, 1, 11));
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "*** Ghost Mode is running at the moment.")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    } 


I'm really new to this, so please tell me if it's right or wrong, I just read the tutorial that explains about cvars, so this is the first time I'm dealing with cvars. Thanks

The cvar variable must be integer not array!

[Obada]

I'm confused, can you give me an example on how to do it?

[RateX]

Just remove the size definition (aka the "[12]") behind the cvar.

[Obada]

PHP Code:

public gwm(id, level, cid)
{     
    set_pcvar_num(ghostmode_activate, 1) // <-- Line 207
    
    if(!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 1))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED 


//// ghostmode1.sma
// C:\steamcmd\cs_server\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\scripting\ghostmode1.sma(207) :
error 017: undefined symbol "ghostmode_activate"
// C:\steamcmd\cs_server\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\scripting\ghostmode1.sma(207) :

// C:\steamcmd\cs_server\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\scripting\ghostmode1.sma(207) :

How am I supposed to change a cvar inside a function?

[fysiks]

If you define the cvar pointer globally, you can set/get the cvar from anywhere in the plugin. Global variables are only accessible to the plugin in which they are defined.

If you are trying to access a cvar that is registered in a different plugin, you have to get the cvar pointer for it first using get_cvar_pointer() in the plugin_cfg() forward.
