 +<code> 
 +function GetCVarFixed(str name) 
 +
 +    return a_GetCVarFixed(name); 
 +
 + 
 +function GetUserCVarFixed(int player, str name)

-An equivalent function mimicking [[zdoom>GetUserCVar]] and [[zdoom>GetUserCVarString]].+A version of ''GetCVarFixed'' for user CVars. Calls [[zdoom>GetCVarString]] internally instead of [[zdoom>GetCVar]]. Analogous to [[zdoom>GetUserCVar]] and [[zdoom>GetUserCVarString]].
