Please help with Doom 3 DSL

[SoDOOManiac]

I'm trying to patch Overthinked Doom 3, what I want to do is disable the wall/enemy/ladder awareness for the pump-action shotgun by means of DSL.

 

There's a boolean CVar in the code that I need to use in the script:

game/gamesys/SysCvar.cpp

153:idCVar g_wallHide( "g_wallHide", "1", CVAR_GAME | CVAR_BOOL, "Hide gun when approaching a wall" );

 

In zDefScript.pk4/script/weapon_shotgun.script I added:

object weapon_shotgun : weapon_base {

...

object    WeaponAwarenessConVar;

float WeaponAwarenessSetting;

...

}

void weapon_shotgun::Raise() {

WeaponAwarenessConVar = sys.getcvar("g_wallHide"); //remember the global setting to recollect when switching to other weapons

WeaponAwarenessSetting = WeaponAwarenessConVar.getFloat(); //getInt() or getBool() or getBoolean() are unknown functions
sys.setcvar("g_wallHide", "0");

...

}

and

void weapon_shotgun::Lower() {

sys.setcvar("g_wallHide", WeaponAwarenessSetting);

...

}

 

On launching the mod, for the line

WeaponAwarenessSetting = WeaponAwarenessConVar.getFloat();

I get the console error:

ERROR: Error: file script/weapon_shotgun.script, line 207: type mismatch for '='

 

How do I get the boolean value of the console variable and assign it to WeaponAwarenessSetting?

Sorry, I was stupid, just found out that 

sys.getcvar("g_wallHide")

returned string value.
