register_event("cvar change")

KiN | SuicideDog · **Author**

Is there a way to have an event triggered when a specific cvar is changed? Even if I can have a trigger if any cvar changes and then check the ones I want that would work for me also. Sorry I'm a little rusty. Haven't coded in about 2 year.. but it's coming back.

The most precise way is probably to hook server_frame and check if a stored global value is the same as the current value.

Kinda messy but there is no real event for it.

I hate hooking the server frame.. it's nasty.. don't don't even like using a server task at 1.0 sec interval.. any other suggestions?

Did you try making it a command?

I've seen plugins (with custom cvars) use this way to detect a cvar change.

See the Real Nade Drop source and you'll see what does he meant.
