I find it odd that it returned a non-NULL value. maxplayers is a ConCommand, not a ConVar.
The typical way to get the max players is to get the IPlayerInfoManager interface, call GetGlobalVars, and then check the maxClients global value. -- Nicholas Hastings AlliedMods.net <http://www.alliedmods.net> > Tom Schumann <mailto:schumann....@gmail.com> > Friday, July 7, 2017 9:47 PM > Thanks - I used g_pCVar->FindVar which returns a ConVar* but its m_pParent > attribute is NULL so I can't get its value. > I tried wrapping it in a ConVarRef and GetInt, GetFloat and GetString all > return 0.
