Query client cvar

[marcowmadeira]

Is it possible to query a client cvar? In sourcemod the command is QueryClientConVar, i tried to find in the documentation, but i don't think there is a function for it. Is there any alternative to do it?

This might work?

Syntax: Select all

from engines.server import engine_server
from entities.helpers import edict_from_index
from listeners import OnQueryCvarValueFinished


def query_player_convar(index, cvar_name):
    edict = edict_from_index(index)
    engine_server.start_query_cvar_value(edict, cvar_name)


@OnQueryCvarValueFinished
def on_query_cvar_value_finished(cookie, index, status, cvar_name, cvar_value):
    print("Value: {}".format(cvar_value))

Edit: fixed my misunderstanding of how convar querying works

Not your fault, the docstring of that method is very mis-leading. I will try to update it soon.

Thank you, this is it.

What does that method return though? An integer called "cookie"? If so, I believe this cookie might prove very useful to determine what query we are serving in OnQueryCvarValueFinished listener.

Thank you, this is it.

No problem, and welcome to the community

Yup, the cookie returned is to be compared into the listener. Only useful if the tasks you want to achieve need to be performed only once otherwise comparing the convar name does it just fine even though your code runs whenever any plugin is querying the said convar name.

We may consider adding a Player.query_convar(<cvar name>, <callback>) in the future.
