Fake Client Execute
 

Unfortunately, as admins we can no longer assume all clients may have commands executed on them, as Valve has allowed clients to disallow server command execution.

Luckily, a subset of commands are still executable via a fake client command, which overwrites the buffers and makes the server "think" the client executed a command.

Obviously, any client commands cannot be executed in this manner, but anything which interacts with the server may be executed. This command works on bots, and was in fact made for manipulating bots.

Command:
sm_fexec <#userid|name> <cmd>

Enjoy!

what kind of commands can we execute on clients?

Re: Fake Client Execute
 

Anything that is server side. I can't make an accurate or comprehensive list, but that is the simple rule of thumb.

Re: Fake Client Execute
 

ok so if I were to do, let's say sv_cheats on a fake client, it will only let that 1 person have cheats?

Re: Fake Client Execute
 

N...no. That is a server side CVAR. It is in no way related to a client executing a server side command.

If you executed sv_cheats 1 on someone using this command, it would APPEAR to the server as if that person attempted to execute "sv_cheats 1" on the server.

Let me give you an example:

sm_fexec "Bot01" "say hello!"
Would cause Bot01 to say hello!

sm_fexec "player1" "sm_slay Bot01" would cause player1 to slay himself (if he has appropriate access)

Approved - w00p

Re: Fake Client Execute
 

How about sm_fexec player name w00p?
sm_fexec player cl_cmdrate 100
sm_fexec player +attack
sm_fexec play bind w say "my name is w00p"
