Hello,

I made a small menu which, when it opens, I want it to send a dvar value to the script. I tried:

onOpen
{
        scriptMenuResponse dvarString( com_maxfps );
        close fps;
}

But I had no luck. I even tried using "#define FPS dvarString( com_maxfps );" but I still got the same result. The response was simply the name of the function 'dvarString'.

I'd appreciate any help,

thanks

It is not possible to get clientside cvar/dvars

Ah ok, thanks for the reply.

Is there any way to use 'if' statements in menu scripting? I know you can in black ops, but I don't know about cod4. I just want something like:

if( dvarInt( com_maxfps ) > 250 )
{
    scriptMenuResponse "fps_too_high";
}

Thanks

Use dvartest.

I have not tried this but someone made a tutorial about getting clientside dvars. It is for blackops but it looks like it would work for cod4 and others.

@Opel, thanks for the tutorial, but unfortunately it doesn't work. The response from the menu is just "(dvarString((dvarstring(getting_dvar))))". I don't think functions work within strings :S

@IzNoGoD, interesting... what's the right syntax for using that?

Thanks both of you :)

textscale GLOBAL_TEXT_SIZE
dvartest "dvar to test goes here"
showDvar { "value on which to show the item" }
textaligny 20

So, like:
textscale GLOBAL_TEXT_SIZE
dvartest "flashbangs"
showDvar { "1" }
textaligny 20

you can do more with dvar's on a menu-file

1st like iznogod showed (it will show the string if the dvar is "1" ( you can use showDvar & hideDvar ) )

		itemDef
		{
			name			"login"
			visible		1
			rect			0 0 95 24
			forecolor		.96 .66 .04 .9
			type 			ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
			text			"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_CONTINUE"
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		.5
			textaligny		20
			dvartest		"ui_login_status"
			showDvar		
			{ 
				"0";
				"1";
			}
		}

2nd show the text what is in the dvar (instead of "text" use "dvar" to show it in the menu)

		itemDef
		{
			name			"login_password"
			visible		1
			rect			110 20 180 24
			origin		ORIGIN_PANEL
			type 			ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
			dvar			"ui_login_password"
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		.35
			textaligny		20
			textstyle		ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
		}

3rd multi menu (it prints you the text and next to the text the string depending on the dvar)

		itemDef
		{
			name			"login_status"
			visible		1
			rect			0 0 128 24
			origin		ORIGIN_LOGIN_STATUS
			forecolor		GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_COLOR
			type			ITEM_TYPE_MULTI
			text			"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_STATUS"
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		GLOBAL_TEXT_SIZE
			textstyle		ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
			textalign		ITEM_ALIGN_RIGHT
			textaligny		20
			decoration
			dvar			"ui_login_status"
			dvarFloatList	
			{ 
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_LOGGED_IN" 			0
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_LOGGED_IN_REGISTERED" 	1
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_NOT_LOGGED_IN" 		2
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_NOT_LOGGED_IN_GUID" 		3
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_NOT_LOGGED_IN_USERNAME" 	4
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_NOT_LOGGED_IN_PASSWORD" 	5
				"@ZOM_UI_LOGIN_NOT_LOGGED_IN_REGISTER" 	6
			}
		}

(the multimenu does only work with dvarFLOATlist, INT, BOOL, STRING isnt supported on cod2, might be on cod4)

Cheers for the info guys, although I'm not entirely sure how to implement your suggestions. I am looking to be able to get the value of "com_maxfps" and if it's greater than 250, I want to set it back to 250. Just like promod, except it sets their FPS back. Is there a way I can check if the value is greater than 250 and then send a menu response to the script indicating so?

Thanks guys

guess not possible, you might use punkbuster or 3rd party program
