CoD2: How to get a clientcvar

[Para]

Hello,

getting clientcvars seems to be a very common problem in the codscript community. There are many threads about this topic but I couldn't even find one with an answer or even example to this question. After some days of research I came up with a solution to this problem. If you have been able to exploit another client-server-relation by codscript, then please post an example here how to do it.

getClientCvar(cvar)
{
	// backup the clientname
	backup_name = self.name;
        // necessary for direct renaming
        setClientNameMode("auto_change");
	// changing the clientcvar "name" will change self.name (contains the value of cvar, therefor accessable by codscript)
	self execClientCmd("setfromdvar name " + cvar);
	// clientcmd has to be finished before retrieving self.name (therefor small delay)
	wait 1;
	cvar = self.name;
	// restore clientname
	self setClientCvar("name", backup_name);

	return cvar;
}
