what is cvar?

Ok dumb question

what is cvar and how do i use it?

Hey, a cvar is something like a persistent variable (till server restart). It can only contain strings, integers (int) or floating point numbers (float).

In server-console you can do:
set somevalue HELLO
somevalue -> will print HELLO

Then there are some codscript-functions to access those variables:

gethello = getcvar("somevalue"); // the variable gethello contains HELLO now

setcvar("somevalue", "BYE"); // the variable gethello is set to BYE now

What returns this function-call now? getcvar("somevalue"); *question for you*


Like the server got cvar's, a client got them also. You can set client-cvars like this:

player setclientcvar("com_maxfps", "125"); // everybody can strafe now :D

Please post solution

sure...

lowgravtrig()
{
	trig = getent("lowgravtrigger", "targetname");
	while(true)
	{
		trig waittill("trigger", user);
		if(!isplayer(user))
			continue;
		oldgrav = getcvarint("g_gravity");
		setcvar("g_gravity", 50);
		wait 60;
		setcvar("g_gravity", oldgrav);'
	}
}

or anything similar...

i just did

thread gravity();    
}

gravity()
{
button2 = getent("button2", "targetname");

while(1)
{
button2 waittill("trigger", player);
setCvar("g_gravity", "50");
iprintlnbold((player.name) + "\n IT WORKED!");
wait 5.0;
}
}
