Es forcevalue

From EventScripts Community Encyclopedia

es_forcevalue is the correct title for this article. The title you see above is incorrect due to technical limitations.

Overview

Syntax: es_forcevalue <var> <value>

Note: Command parameters are described inside the < and > characters. Optional parameters are contained within [ and ] characters.

Variation of this command that doesn't expand variables: es_xforcevalue

Attempts to vorce the variable to a particular value. Useful primarily for sv_cheats without notification.

// change cheats without informing people
es_forcevalue sv_cheats 1
es_sexec event_var(userid) noclip
es_forcevalue sv_cheats 0

// take off server password silently
es_xforcevalue sv_password ""
// that would not work with es_forcevalue as the double-quotes would get removed

Check corelib cheatexec for an example of this command.
es_forcevalue will set the sv_cheats variable however client cheats will not work(i.e. r_* cl_* mat_* commands).
