Hi i want to read a client cvar when a player connects with an "if". Somethig like this:

if(ClientCvar["r_mode"] == "-1")

I cant get the correct sentence and i dnt know where to learn this,
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

Reading client cvars is not possible.
May i ask what do you want to do?

My mod allow players to setup wide screen resolution from menu, but the players sees all closer, so its not really usefull.
User can't change fov, because it's a cheat protected cvar but i discovered that i can change the user fov cvar from the server when player connects
I want to detect who has r_mode -1 and change that player fov.


Thanks

I recall capturing players configs using pb.

Hi morgawr, i thought about that but i don't know how to do it from the mod.
Can you explain me please?
Thanks!

You could also make a server sided var.. For example:

setCvar("mode_" + self getGuid(), "r_mode:1;b_mode:2;c_mode:3");

And read it like data = getCvar("mode_" + self getGuid());
Then you can explode the : and the ; to extract the data.

This is the way how i store levels in my mod by server side.
You can add as much player vars and data as you want in one server sided var.

I scripted a little program that reads the data by RCon and automatically writes it in a MySQL database.
So i have all data stored central.

Is a little bit complex but if you need help, please feel free to contact me :)

Thanks Fabio. This is too complex for my knowledge, but for what i understand of what you are telling me, what happens if a player that never entered before enters with the command r_mode in -1? The server won't detect the change and store?

Thanks

I will look see if I can find it in pb files.

When a player enters the server you check if the server sided var exists.
for example you check for the var (with getcvar()) mode_123456 (when player has guid 123456).

If the var exists it will probably contain the r_mode of the player.
If it doesnt exist you do setcvar() with the default value of r_mode.

Idk if it is unterstandable :D
