[Sheep_Wizard 183]

Does anyone know how to get a clients dvar.

 

Iv read that you can use menus but I couldn't get it to work.

tried this but it didnt work. Also i want to check quite frequently so opening and closing a menu isnt ideal

there is no  way to get a clientdvar in cod4 without some ugly trickery like setting player name to a dvar value

 

the link sentrex gave is for cod black ops only AFAIK

Is it possible to use 'GetUserinfo' that's in codx to get dvars from players? Also if it is can you use it in a map?

<player> clientcmd( "setu <dvar> <whatever here; setfromdvar <dvar> " + <dvar you want to get/receive> );

then

return <player> getUserInfo(<dvar you want to get/receive>);

make sure the mod has the clientcmd.menu and clientcmd function.

Could you give an example of how i would use this?

 

I tried this and got error saying it was a unutiised variable

self clientcmd( "setu cg_thirdperson 1; setfromdvar cg_thirdperson" + cg_thirdperson);
return self getUserInfo("cg_thirdperson");

self clientcmd( "setu sheepwantsdvar undefined; setfromdvar sheepwantsdvar " + cg_thirdperson);
