This won't work. If the KeyValue function is called again after the defaultctf
key comes through, then the cvar will be reset to zero and the actual value
will be lost. What you need to do is have a flag:
int fResetDefaultCTF = false;
void CFubar::KeyValue (..etc..)
{
if (!fResetDefaultCTF)
{
// defaultctf cvar has not been reset
CVAR_SET_FLOAT("oz_defaultctf", 0);
fResetDefaultCTF = true;
}
// blah...
// normal code to check keyvalues including defaultctf keyvalue
}
Then the cvar will only be reset once. You need to reset the flag back to
false after all the keyvalues have been sent, a good place to do this is the
Spawn function of the same entity. (Spawn is always called _after_ all the
keyvalues have been sent to the KeyValue function.)
