Wow man ! Mind blowing, the cache thing is really awesome now we wont be using [get|set]_[pcvar|cvar]_[num|float|string]

I'm not sure if your module does this, but it would be helpful if CvarHookChange, or CvarCache would cache the current value when the hook is created, or call the function when it is created. Even though it isn't changing technically, the default value might interfere with the custom value.

Sorry again to be stupid, I don't understand well. When you call CvarCache, the current value of the cvar is set by default in the global var. Not sure why you're talking about hook and such.

I got confused a little , If i cache a cvar's value, the variable which will contain the cahed value will be auromatically update, without the need of calling any natives/forwards/hooks etc right ?

[Arkshine]

Of course ! Otherwise such native would be useless.

The whole community should use this then , its way more effecient.

You're anything but stupid, lol. I'm just bad ad explaining sometimes. Well, for instance, I use a CVAR with flags ("abcdefg"), and I store it internally as a bitsum to help save processing the flag into bits every time I need it. When the plugin starts, I want to cache this value, but using CvarHook will only be called when the cvar is changed and not when it is first set, so I have to set it manually.

What you describe is well what I said before so : when you use CvarCache the current value of this CVAR is well set into the global variable right away and doesn't wait a value change to update the variable. It would not make sense to not do that !

About CvarHookChange, this behavior happens only at server start when cvars are not registered, it would be called with a null old value. But after a restart, cvar is now registered, and for sure it won't be called. Maybe should add something for that ? Is it really useful ?

I'm not sure if I follow you still. What I have is something like this. What I wanted to know was whether or not hookFlagsChanged() gets called with the current cvar value when CvarHookChange() is registered.

new cvar = CvarRegister();
CvarHookChange(cvar, "hookFlagsChanged");

public hookFlagsChanged() {

g_bits = read_flags(value)

}

[Arkshine]

Wait. lol

Just looking my code and what I say is stupid (again).

At restart the module deletes all datas stored and the module when it registers the first time a cvar and you hook it, the default behavior should be to call the forward the first time, so like you say.

It seems my code does the reverse what I wanted to do. -_-"

Let me check what I have done...
