[ACS] getcvar() does not get string values..

I dunno if this is really a bug, but getcvar() can pull integer values but cannot pull string values from console variables.

ACS can't manage strings. All ACS strings are merely referenced by an index. As such there is no way a function could return a string value.

Ewwww, that's too bad too, I was trying to pull the player name from the console. Isn't there another way to do that?

You can print it with data type n.
print(s:"Player 0's name is: ",n:0,s:".");

Thanks a bunch, Bio.

don't forget that n:1 through n:8 are each player, respectively. n:0 is the activator.
