# CVar
A **C**onsole **Var**iable, either defined in `CVARINFO` or by the engine.
**Not serializable. Do not use as a member unless marked as `transient`.**
All Get and Set operations will work regardless of the real type of the CVar,
as they aren't "strongly" typed.
```
struct CVar
{
static CVar FindCVar(name n);
static CVar GetCVar(name n, PlayerInfo player = null);
bool GetBool();
double GetFloat();
int GetInt();
string GetString();
void SetBool(bool v);
void SetFloat(double v);
void SetInt(int v);
void SetString(string v);
int GetRealType();
int ResetToDefault();
}
```
### `FindCVar`
Returns a server CVar by name, or `null` if none is found.
### `GetCVar`
Returns a user or server CVar by name, with `player` as the user if applicable,
or `null` if none is found.
### `GetBool`
Returns a boolean representing the value of the CVar, or `false` if it
cannot be represented.
### `GetFloat`
Returns a float representing the value of the CVar, or `0.0` if it cannot be
represented.
### `GetInt`
Returns an integer representing the value of the CVar, or `0` if it cannot be
represented.
### `GetString`
Returns a string representing the value of the CVar. CVars can always be
represented as strings.
### `SetBool`, `SetFloat`, `SetInt`, `SetString`
Sets the representation of the CVar to `v`. May only be used on mod-defined
CVars.
### `GetRealType`
Returns the type of the CVar as it was defined, which may be one of the
following:
| Name |
| ---- |
| `CVar.CVAR_BOOL` |
| `CVar.CVAR_COLOR` |
| `CVar.CVAR_FLOAT` |
| `CVar.CVAR_INT` |
| `CVar.CVAR_STRING` |
### `ResetToDefault`
Resets the CVar to its default value and returns 0. The purpose of the
return is unknown. May only be used on mod-defined CVars.
