Initially, I had some trouble with this. It always ended up being a pain
in the ass to try and get the code to recognize gEngfuncs. I messed around
with a common header file and some code in there. Unfortunately, gEngfuncs
can't be accessed in the header file because to access it I need cl_util.h
which conflicts with other headers. Finally, I dropped that idea and put the
code into source files instead. I decided to make it inline, but THAT didn't
work at all. It was giving me unresolved external errors even though the
function existed. When I took out the inline keyword, it compiled. I tested,
and it worked great! Thanks to everyone who helped out! It's finally done.

GlobalCvarGetFloat(char *cvarname), which returns the value of the cvar
using either gEngfuncs.pfnGetCvarFloat or CVAR_GET_FLOAT anywhere those
functions are available in the client and server DLLs respectively - thus
existing identically in both DLLs - and then use extern int
GlobalCvarGetFloat(char *cvarname); to get it available in your shotgun code
file. Then, GlobalCvarGetFloat("mp_aquashotgun") should return the value you
want, whether serverside or nay.
