Setting Client DVAR's

[Ahrimdon]

Absolute noob coder here. Wrote welcome scripts with what I've gathered from the modding community. So far everything has gone great, except for setting client DVAR's. Here's what I got so far:

#include maps\_utility; 
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

init()
{
	level.clientid = 0;
	level.perk_purchase_limit = 9;
	level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
	for(;;)
	{
		level waittill("connecting", player);
		player thread onPlayerSpawned();
		player.clientid = level.clientid;
		level.clientid++;	// Is this safe? What if a server runs for a long time and many people join/leave
	}
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
	level endon( "game_ended" );
        self endon( "disconnect" );
	for(;;)
	{
		self waittill( "spawned_player" );
		
		self.num_perks = -5; //Remove perk limit, must be a negative number

		wait ( 10 );
		self iPrintLnBold("Welcome to ^1Rimmy's Server^7!");
		wait ( 5 );
		self iPrintLnBold("^5Perk Limit ^1Removed");
		wait ( 5 );
	}
}

For setting DVAR's, I've tried adding:

onPlayerConnect()
{
	for(;;)
	{
		level waittill("connecting", player);
		player thread onPlayerSpawned();
		player.clientid = level.clientid;
		level.clientid++;	// Is this safe? What if a server runs for a long time and many people join/leave
		self SetClientDvars( "cg_deadChatWithDead", "1",
		"cg_deadChatWithTeam", "1",
		"cg_deadHearTeamLiving", "1",
		"cg_deadHearAllLiving", "1",
		"cg_everyoneHearsEveryone", "1",
		"r_fog", "0",
		"cg_drawSpectatorMessages", "1",
		"r_lodbiasrigid", "-1000",
		"r_lodbiasskinned", "-1000" );
	}
}

Along with:

init()
{
	level.clientid = 0;
	level.perk_purchase_limit = 9;
	level thread onPlayerConnect();
	level.reset_clientdvars = ::onPlayerConnect_clientDvars;
}

and using a function to define (think that's the right word) level.reset_clientdvars = ::onPlayerConnect_clientDvars; using the client DVAR's, along with a few other syntax variations. So far no luck. If anyone wouldn't giving a few tips on this it would be much appreciated.

Ahrimdon

self SetClientDvars( "cg_deadChatWithDead", "1", ... )

you call that on self instead of player, self is level in that place.

Sorex Worked like a charm! Thank you very much!
