Using rcon on players

To punish players you must use rcon and the admin_cmd cvar. You also must know the clients ID. To find a clients ID type into console “rcon status”. The number next to their name is their ID. Let is for this example pretend I am player and my player ID is 1.  The syntax for entering commands for players is:

Rcon admin_cmd “ID ( Player command ) ( extra parameters)”

So if I was forcing myself ( Player 1 ) to respawn I would enter:

Rcon admin_cmd “1 respawn”

If you enter a bad command it will tell you. There is a large number of commands available and many of them can take extra parameters. This means you can include more information in the rcon command.

Rcon admin_cmd “1 say hello everyone I am feeling great!”

Rcon admin_cmd “all stufftext quit”

From the example above you can see the first makes player 1 say something? The second makes all the players in the game quit. Hmm. All the players! As well as just specifying just one player you can do it to all players or all of a team.

All

You can do something to all players by using 'all' instead of the player id.

admin_cmd "all stufftext kill"

Would have the effect of making all the players kill them self.

Axis

As with all you can do axis instead of a players id. This will make all and only the axis have the action performed upon them.

admin _cmd "axis jumpxy 999"

Would make all the axis players jump 99 units.

Allies

Like axis you can do something to all the allies.

admin _cmd "allies leaveteam"

This would force all the allies to leave their team.

Spectators/Spectator

10 points if you can guess what this does? Say you wanted to make all the spectators join the axis..

admin _cmd "spectators jointeam axis"
