How can I use FakeClientCommand without error if no client in game?
For example in a "round_start" hook with "EventHookMode_Pre":

public Action:RoundStart(Handle:event, String:event_name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
	new flags2 = GetCommandFlags("director_stop");
	SetCommandFlags("director_stop", flags2 & ~FCVAR_CHEAT);
	FakeClientCommand(1, "director_stop");
		
	SetCommandFlags("director_stop", flags2|FCVAR_CHEAT);
}

In this case I get an error message:

[SM] Native "FakeClientCommand" reported: Client index 1 is invalid

What's the correct solution?

You should be able to execute it on the server using ServerCommand.

If I use the ServerCommand says me that I can't use that in multiplayer just if sv_cheats 1 enabled.
If I remove the cheat flag and try that way get the same message so it's not a solution.

So, you want a way to invoke commands instantly?

[birno]

Yes, I think.
My english not the best, therefore maybe I'm ambiguous, sorry for that.
I want to run a command before the game start, because I need to spawn clients myself, not by the director.
As I see there's a lot of plugin that want to run commands the same way, for example create a timer that repeat every 1 seconds so if the game load a new map it cant find a valid client and generate a lot of error in the logs.
I think theres a better way to do this but I dont know how.
I hope you understand me.

if the plugin in yer example is spawning tanks while there are no players, then that plugin shouldnt be running.

try something like:
client = GetAnyClient();

GetAnyClient { for (new i=1; i<=MaxClients; i++) { if (IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i)) return i; } return -1;}

if it returns -1, dont do the command. if it returns anything else (which would be a number between 1 and MaxClients) then use that client number to execute the desired cheat command.

I know this method and it's work fine if I want to use in a function that run when theres a player in the game, but in the first post example it wont work, because the round dont start.
Its not a big problem, im just interested so if theres no a real solution its fine.

File a bug, assuming you want FakeServerCommand(), I think this is something we can implement.
