!set command

[ACKMAN]

I saw this command in some servers months ago. I've searched but i can't find it...

Anyone have a patch or something?

My guess is it's just an admin version of the /set command.

Yes.. eg: !set g_gravity 10. Its like rcon but faster

Can't be too hard to code.

Code: (C) [Select]

qboolean G_admin_cvarset( gentity_t *ent, int skiparg )
{
    char name[ 100 ]; // arbitrary value here since I'm lazy
    char value[ MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING ];

    G_SayArgv( 1 + skiparg, name, sizeof( name ) );
    strcpy( value, G_SayConcatArgs( 2 + skiparg ) );

    trap_Cvar_Set( name, value );
}
Obviously you'll want to throw in some error checking, but that's the basic idea.

Thanks really

that's a little too abusable and/or dangerous

Code: [Select]

qboolean G_admin_cvarset( gentity_t *ent, int skiparg )
{
    char name[ 100 ]; // arbitrary value here since Syntac is lazy
    G_SayArgv( 1 + skiparg, name, sizeof( name ) );

    trap_SendConsoleCommand( va("set \"%s\" \"%s\"\n", name, G_SayConcatArgs( 2 + skiparg ) ) );
}
this is much safer

Thanks for correcting my incredibly sloppy code for me.

I like pie

Worth pointing out this lets admins set anything and everything.  Including the rcon password etc, which can destroy your server with ease.
