Dvars

Dvars are developer variables that have a name and a value.

For e.g. setting the last selected button configuration in-game the dvar

Code:

lastPresetButtonConfig

is used with the name of the latest button configuration as its argument. Note that in order to set dvar values the command

Code:

set

needs to be prepended. The basic syntax of setting dvars is

Code:

set dvarName dvarValue

Our example would look like this:

Code:

set lastPresetButtonConfig "button_config_alpha"

Here are all the button configuration names for Wii Remote:

Wii Remote Button Configurations

Code:

button_config_alpha
button_config_bravo
button_config_charlie
button_config_delta
button_config_echo
button_config_foxtrot

You can find more in the code_post_gfx_mp.ff file.

And here are lots of dvar dumps to check out for different dvars:

Note that dvars can be binded and toggled also. If we wanted to toggle 3rd person mode we'd use the

Code:

toggle

command following the dvar name and the values to toggle through separated by blanks:

Code:

twistbind WII_C "toggle cg_thirdPerson 1 0"

Dvars can also be resetted to their original value conveniently by using the

Code:

reset

command. It's argument is the dvar name.

Do not write something like:

Code:

set cg_thirdPerson 0

Better:

Code:

reset cg_thirdPerson
