PHP Code:

new pCvar

public plugin_init() 
{
pCvar = register_cvar("sample_cvar", "1")
...
...

if(get_pcvar_num(pCvar) == 1)
  ..echo 1
else
  ..echo 0
} 


From the above snippet I'm always getting pCvar value to be 1 while in amxx.cfg its written: sample_cvar 0

I have tried getting the value using get_cvar_num() and in different places like plugin_cfg() but the result is same. What am I missing here ?

amxx.cfg is executed during plugin_cfg, so checking it before then will alter the results. Make sure that the cvar value has actually changed, execute "amx_cvar sample_cvar" and see what it says the value is

Okay.

Actually what I want is depending on a cvar value start a timer(continuous timer). So what is best function in my case ?

Actually, this should work after the map has been changed once. On first boot it will not.

^^Correct. This is what happening. But where should I put this stuff which will work everytime ?

Read the cvar in plugin_cfg().

Actually that was originally written and not working. Let me show you the original code.

PHP Code:

new amx_showads
new g_ads

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_VERSION, PLUGIN_AUTHOR)
    
    amx_showads = register_cvar("amx_showads", "1")
}

public plugin_precache()
{
    g_ads = ArrayCreate(128)
}

public plugin_cfg()
{
    load_ini("Ad_File.ini", g_ads)

    if(get_pcvar_num(amx_showads) == 1 && ArraySize(g_ads) != 0)
    {
        server_cmd("echo ----Ads ON")
        set_task(DELAY_ADS, "ShowAds", 0, "", 0, "b")
    }
    else
    {
        server_cmd("echo Ads OFF")
    } 


Now with this amx_showads is set to 0 in amxx.cfg but while the server is booting as you mentioned already it prints ----Ads ON while it should print ----Ads OFF

create own cfg and execute it inside plugin_cfg
or check your plugins.ini maybe the possition of your plugin is too high you should to take it last.(I think)

Can anyone show me a quick version of reading own cfg and reflecting that changes to registered cvars ?

He didn't say anything about reading a cfg file. He said to execute a cfg file. I don't understand why you are having problems though. It should work fine in plugin_cfg(). Maybe I will test it later to see for myself.
