I've got a bit of a problem. I'd
like to add a new CVAR to Half-Life called "mp_aquashotgun". If it's 0, you
can't fire the shotgun under water (like normal). If it's anything else (ie. 1),
then you CAN shoot the shotgun underwater. So, I define my CVAR in game.cpp
like so:
cvar_t mp_aquashotgun = { "mp_aquashotgun",
"0", FCVAR_SERVER };
Then I
register it later on in the file:
CVAR_REGISTER( &mp_aquashotgun );
Now I need to actually use it somewhere, so I open
up shotgun.cpp and in the PrimaryAttack function, I add an additional check to
the waterlevel statement:
if (m_pPlayer->pev->waterlevel == 3 &&
CVAR_GET_FLOAT( "mp_aquashotgun") == 0)
Well, the problem
is that the *client* can't access "mp_aquashotgun" so if I leave this code as it
is, the game will freeze as soon as you try to fire the shotgun under water. I
messed around with it for awhile and rewrote the code to use #ifdef CLIENT_DLL
and such, but the best I could do was actually have it fire under water but none
of the effects would play. Of course... client side weapons. I think that's
what's causing the problem.
So the question
is, how can I access my CVAR on the client?
