Cvars

Cvars are variables that can be read or set via the in-game console. Cvar stands for Console Variable. Each cvar has a name, description, type and some flags associated with it

It is possible to interact with these variables from Quake-C, however in vanilla QC there is some limitations. For example, being only able to read numeric values.

Use the following builtins to read and set cvars:

Cvar_set

You can also set cvars using Localcmd, which will allow you to concatenate strings together.
