Dota – way to use cvar via say command

dota-2

I am experimenting with Cvars.

Those are variables set in the server and or client.

List here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_DOTA_2_Cvars

I want to export some of those via the say command but i am missing the syntax to do so.

For example:

say "My Hostport is :%s" %hostport

and

say "My Hostport is :" +hostport

does not work.

If there is a way with autoexec i would love to use that too.

The console in Source engine is very, very limited, and even more so in Dota 2.

The only 2 things you can do with a cvar are: print it to console and overwrite it.

What you want to do is impossible.
