I am new to scripting and I was wondering if it is possible to force clients to use certain cvars. I am interested in not allowing 'developer 1' on my server, so I am looking for something that automatically puts everyone at developer 0. Is it possible to do this? Is it difficult? Thanks!

public client_connect( id ) {
    client_cmd ( "developer 0" )
}

that command only blocks it when the client connects. any way to set it so the client cannot change it back after they have connected?

[DarlD]

you could create a loop

public client_connect(id) {
     client_cmd("developer 0")
     set_task(0.5,"loop")
}
public loop(id) {
     client_cmd("developer 0")
     set_task(0.5,"loop2")
}
public loop2(id) {
     client_cmd("developer 0")
     set_task(0.5,"loop")
}

lol DarlD. rofl why not do, use the set_task "b" for infinite checking .

i did this, and i think it works, but i cant test it yet because my steam is screwed up:

public client_connect(id)
{
     client_cmd (id,"developer 0") 
}

public client_command(id)
{
     client_cmd (id,"developer 0") 
}

is this a good way to do it?

The best way to do this is to poll the player cvar for developer. By using query_client_cvar native every so often. Just kick or ban them after so many checks.

Because of the client can do "developer 1; alias developer" even before they enter the server. It will lock you out from changing there setting.

This is what I would do.

this seems like a good option, but will it lag the server?

hah, i'm not so skilled at scripting yet. query just returns the the value that they are using correct?

and client_command runs every time the client sends a command correct? so if the client sends the command developer 1, it should just change back to developer 0 when the function is run?

Why don't you just set it up so that it doesn't force client to change it...but it runs a infinite loop of checking, using set_task and if client changes from dev 0 to dev 1 then it auto kicks them, and if they connect to your server it would IMMEDIATELY check what the dev cvar is set to and if set to 1 then kick, and print in console To play on this server you must have developer set to 0. Just an idea...this sounds good too me too so if anyone knows a quick way of doing this I would appreciate it too.
