Summary

0002835: Make cvars of type float return a float in the console

Description

So I was playing around with getting some cvar values using GetCVar, and noticed certain ones (e.g. chase_dist) would return incorrect values. I then noticed that shifting the value right by 16, or printing it as a float in acs fixed this issue. There is no indication internally what type these values are. I suggest making it clear which values are float by adding a .0 to the end of them in the console.

Steps To Reproduce

Set a float cvar (chase_dist or gamma) to a whole number. Get the value of this cvar by typing it in the console. It will appear as a whole number (e.g. 30) instead of as a float (e.g. 30.0)
