So I have this Convar which defaults to 0. However once it has been set to true it doesn't change back to false. Using GetConVarBool and SetConVarBool it works fine using latest stable 1.7.2 SM compiler.
Could someone confirm this bug or maybe tell me if i understood something wrong here ?

PHP Code:

sv_random_variable_name = CreateConVar("sv_random_variable_name","0","",FCVAR_NONE,true,0.0,true,1.0); 


To simplyfy toggling it for admins i made a small cmd

PHP Code:

public Action Command_Trail(int client, int args)
{
    PrintToChatAll("%d",sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue);
    if(sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue == true)
    {
        sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue = false;
    }
    else
    {
        sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue = true;
    }    
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

BoolValue might be read-only and you may need to alter it via some function. Look it up.

no it has a setter

// Retrieves or sets a boolean value for the convar.
property bool BoolValue {
public native get();
public native set(bool b);
}

yeah, seems bugged

PHP Code:

public Action Command_Trail(int client, int args)
{
    PrintToChatAll("%d",sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue);
    if(sv_random_variable_name.BoolValue)
    {
        sv_random_variable_name.SetBool(false);
    }
    else
    {
        sv_random_variable_name.SetBool(true);
    }    
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

I may be seeing odd behavior in int convars using .IntValue... need to try some things to test some things.

Ya, I remember getting a bug report about convars not being set properly through ConVar's properties(it was for VSH repo I have)

Well, in my case I need to go check if it's something messing with the precedence order.

However, given that it works correctly the first time it's used and not subsequent times....

...oh right, did I mention that this is happening in a core plugin? Specifically, MapChooser when you extend a map. And apparently only for the maxrounds cvar.

Yea I have problems with using .IntValue too and am forced to use Get/SetConVarInt. I have a similar problem with adt_array's .Set (or .Get?) function
