Question about DEFCVAR and Cvar

Post by snakebyte »

Why for some cvars, I cannot set the default value in DEFCVAR? I get a message like this.

Code: Select all

Cannot set cvar default for non-config cvar 'sv_noautoaim'
I get the same messages even if I try to set the default values for the cvars about jumping, crouching and falling damage.

I know I can anyway set the jumping, crouching and falling damage in the settings of my map. But what about autoaim? I am forced to set the autoaim "0" or use WEAPON.NOAUTOAIM on all my weapons.

But even if I hide the menu that allows the player to change those settings, what about the console? The player can still open the console and change the 'sv_fallingdamage'.

There is no way on GZDoom not to allow the player to change some configuration?

What if I want to develop a standalone horror game in GZDoom? It would be a shame if the player can use the console, "noclip" and bye bye

You can only set CVars that are saved to the config. Use MAPINFO.

Modify GZDoom if you really don't want cheats.
