Summary0004236: ACS function to create temporary CVars
DescriptionAdd an ACS function like CreateTemporaryCvar(str CVar) to replace ConsoleCommand(StrParam(s:"set ", s:MyMadeUpCVarName)) acting as a superb version of global int.

Clients cannot read it and it won't disappear with map command unlike global. Very useful for certain Survival cases(with unexpected Exit event, before the game could save some data), especially the ones that use hub system(Lexicon). It also prevents from CVARINFO turning into a mess with lots and lots of definitions, especially if the mod is targeted towards 64 players.

 Zeberpal found a solution for 1) and 2) without ConsoleCommand, so they only need a solution for 3)

 Thanks, I updated the ticket's details to focus only on that third bullet.

 After giving this some thought, and also hearing what Zeberpal apparently needed this function for (i.e. saving information between games), it makes a lot more sense to use databases (something that has existed in Zandronum for over a decade now) instead of CVars. Databases were added specifically for persistent storage, which CVars (especially temporary ones) are going to be terrible at.

This function is also extremely niche and would have very little uses (since CVARINFO exists), so I wouldn't support adding it. As such, I'm going to close this ticket.
