This is part of my first plugin, OverKill, OK in short. The cvars, kinda overkilled the amount of cvars, won't register, or atleast, I can't get their values with get_cvar_num/float/whatever.

Error on compilation (webcompiler):
/home/groups/amxmodx/tmp3/phpcZV5XX.sma(68 ) : error 017: undefined symbol "amx_ok_reward_cap"

This happends on several other occasions, but I think they are all on the same cause. I changed the plugin size (#pragma), had a dumb thought that all those cvars needed more memory, wasn't the case.
Code might look messy, as I tried hard to fix it, I really tried everything I know.

PHP Code:

public plugin_init(){ 
    register_plugin(NAME,VERSION,AUTHOR)
    register_cvar("amx_overkill","1")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_perc","100")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_life_cap","0")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_max","125")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_reward_cap","25")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_perc_capped","33")
    register_cvar("amx_ok_ff","1")
    register_event("DeathMsg","overkill","ade","5=0")
    register_event("ResetHUD","load_health","be") 
    register_logevent("save_health",2,"1=Round_End") 
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}
//..//
//line 68//
    new reward_cap = get_cvar_num(amx_ok_reward_cap)

Thanks it works, but why should I create pcvars (private ??) and should I do it for all that work w/o changing?
And why doesn't the normal way work? And is there any way to break out of a loop, (other then setting a var and waiting for the loop to finish)

You should use pcvars because it is better and faster. If you use *et_cvar_*, it has to search through all cvars until it finds the one it is looking for

[TwN]

But why doesn't the "normal" way work

[YamiKaitou]

The old way works fine, it is you who has made the typo. The cvar name is a STRING, not a variable. So, using get_cvar_num(amx_ok_reward_cap) is incorrect. It has to be get_cvar_num("amx_ok_reward_cap")
