Setting Engine Cvars?

(1/3) > >>

PAL-18:
I have a bunch of engine cvars im trying to set to custom valid values (sk_barnacle_health, etc.) and i'm unable to get them to set.  In server.cfg it isin't applying and they even fail when added to init.lua in the gamemode.

I've tried the following code:
RunConsoleCommand("sk_barnacle_health", "1000")


Any idea how i can get it to apply?

Hello there,
have you actually created the convars using CreateConVar?

You can also define convars in your gamemode.txt:


--- Code: --- "settings"
{
1
{
"name" "sk_maxfrags"
"text" "Max Frags"
"help" "The maxiumum number of frags before a map change"
"type" "Numeric"
"default" "20"
}


2
{
"name" "sk_grenades"
"text" "Allow Grenades"
"help" "If enabled ) then grenades are enabled"
"type" "CheckBox"
"default" "1"
}

}

--- End code ---

They aren't custom cvars though.  They're cvars common to the SRCDS engine (they work in Gmod too).

I just tried that and it didnt work either.

Avoid:
Ah, I see.
Sorry I didn't know such a convar existed! :')

Use a timer when setting the convar in the Initialize hook and it worked fine on my end:

--- Code: --- timer.Simple(0.1, function()
RunConsoleCommand("sk_barnacle_health", "500")
end)

--- End code ---

PAL-18:
Do you have the full code you used to get it to work?  I tried adding that timer to several places and i couldnt get it working.
