if ( isPlayer ) then { [] spawn { _endless = false; waitUntil { sleep 5; your-code-goes-here _endless }; }; };

This makes an infinitely-repeating loop that runs every 5 seconds, and happens only on the client.

If there are variables which only the server should be using, add them to BattlEye scripts.txt.

If the client should have read-only access to the variable, keep the root variable on server machine and periodically copy it and broadcast the copy.

Alternatively, if the client should have write-access to the variable, pipe it through one function and use BattlEye exceptions to ensure the access is only made through that function.

As for generic anti cheat, just use infistars or spyglass by Tonic. Smart coders have been down this road already, no need to find a different method.

I'm not very familiar with script injectors (nor would I feel comfortable downloading one, if I even knew where to), but you can "watch" a variable with code similar to this:

"myGlobalVariable" spawn
{
while {true} do
{
	_temp = missionNamespace getVariable _this;
	waitUntil {(missionNamespace getVariable _this) != _temp};

	//check if change was legitimate
	//if change was not legitimate either warn player and incriment warning count or end mission for player
};
};

Of course, this only works for global variables and specifically for the reason why global variables are recommended to be used sparingly (global vars are available in all scopes)

we i need to make sure i got permission first from tonic to use it and spyglass is made for altis life, so if i use that in my own framework that i made it may be abit weird stuff happening if you know what im saying :P

You are free to nitpick it and stuff so long as you are not selling it like that moron infistar.
