[Tutorial] getting a clientdvar

[Pozzuh]

There always has been a setclientdvar() function, but never a getclientdvar() function. About 2 months ago I found a way to get client dvars. This is the tutorial.
It's actually pretty easy, because you will just use my script.

1. Paste this code somewhere in your gsc.

Code:

getClientdvar(dvar)
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    
    self setclientdvar("getting_dvar",dvar);
    self openmenu(game["menu_clientdvar"]);    
    
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);
        
        if(menu==game["menu_clientdvar"])
        {
            return response;
        }
    }
}

2. Make a new file in ui_mp/scriptmenus, call it clientdvar.menu. Paste this in it:

C++ Code

{
	menuDef
	{		
		name "clientdvar"
		rect 0 0 1 1
		fullscreen 0
		visible 0
		onOpen
		{
			scriptMenuResponse "(dvarString((dvarstring(getting_dvar))))";
			close self;
		}
		onEsc{}
	}
}

3. Precache the menu in your gsc file (paste this in init())

C++ Code

game["menu_clientdvar"] = "clientdvar";
precachemenu(game["menu_clientdvar"]);

4. Now use the function as

C++ Code

self getclientdvar("com_maxfps");

note: Make sure to include the files in your .csv file. ( menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/clientdvar.menu & rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_yourgsc.gsc
note 2: This cannot be looped in a while loop, it would lag out the player because it uses a menu file.

If you use this make sure to give me, Pozzuh, credits.

Good luck.
