Module: Cvar Utilities (v1.6) - Page 17

I will add some forward in AMXX in core, it has been requested anyway, but it won't contain all what CU does because some are kind of pointless. I won't add CU module as it is, code could be better and also more appropriate to integrate this with current system in core.

About the CvarCache native: how it's different from using get_pcvar natives ?

How about that ?

CvarCache caches the value of a cvar into the provided global variable, and that variable is updated automagically by the module when needed.
Difference is by caching using a variable (meaning giving to CU a reference to this variable), you don't need to use cvar natives anymore and plugin basically checks a simple variable vs a native.

This is what I wanted to hear, automatically updated. You are awesome

But any news on this features introduced to amxx core ?

This native doesn't exists:

PHP Code:


			
  /* Or directly :
        CvarHookChangeCache( register_cvar( "MyCvar", "1337" ), CvarType_Int, Variable ); */

Did you mean CvarHookChange ?

Edit: By reading the documentation I think it was CvarCache.
Edit2: Server crashed

Code:

Protocol version 48

What I have in my plugin:

PHP Code:


			
CvarCache(register_cvar("bomb_status_team", "0"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[TeamAcces])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("hud_r_color", "0"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[ColorR])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("hud_g_color", "255") , CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[ColorG])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("hud_b_color", "85") , CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[ColorB])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("bomb_status_commands", "1"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[CommandsStatus])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("bomb_status_c_spamtime", "10"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[CommandsSpamTime])
    CvarCache(register_cvar("bomb_status_logs", "0") , CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[LogsStatus])
    CvarCache(get_cvar_pointer("mp_c4timer"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[ExplosionTime])

Edit3: after some test I found out that the crash was due to: //CvarCache(get_cvar_pointer("mp_c4timer"), CvarType_Int, HandleCvar[ExplosionTime])

These kind of features that CvarUtil offers, has been intgerated in latest dev build : https://github.com/alliedmodders/amxmodx/pull/185

This module is unmaintained from now because code is not that great and what offers latest AMXX build is basically CvarUtil but done in the right way, at least it makes more sense. Also, this is better integrated to AMXX.

I would recommend to not use this module anymore.

But for the ones who still code for latest version of amxx(1.8.2) is no alternative to this module.

Module does a lot of unnecessary things, in an improper way. It's not really worth to work on it, especially probably almost no one use it.

Well, if there is really a critical bug, I can try to fix it, but I won't do much.

Like about CvarCache, providing a simple test plugin which reproduces the issue would help.

Well, I use it in my BombStatus plugin. In the above, CvarCache crash the server when you directly use with get_cvar_pointer, no other things are needed.
For default cvars I use CvarHookChange to find out when the value is changed.
