SourceMod and Hammer point_servercommand "say"

Anjin · **Author**

So I have a map that on a button trigger sends a "say blablabla" command to the client. This works normally when I run the map locally without SourceMod, and the client actually says "blablabla."

But whenever I run the map on my server with SM, the say command is never executed. Why not, and what can I do instead?

Which plugins do you run?

Valve made a cvar (since the workshop update) that disables point_servercommand entities from being executed from a map on the dedicated server unless if it's an official Valve map. (This is kinda needed since malicious mappers can damage/destroy servers by running malicious commands on the server console.)

Enter "sv_allow_point_servercommand" into the server console for more details. The default setting is that only official Valve maps can use point_servercommand.

I tried removing all plugins, still doesn't work.

sv_allow_point_servercommand
Unknown command "sv_allow_point_servercommand"

Hmmm. Check if the server console prints out the "blablabla" instead? If that doesn't work, then I don't have a clue. If you have stripper: source installed, possibly disable that as well.

Also the sv_allow_point_servercommand is a cvar that was rolled out in the TF2 map workshop update. You didn't specify the game it was for, and I also assumed that CS:GO had it since they had the workshop for awhile. (Strange that they don't?)

It seems putting "say 1" in bspconvar_whitelist.txt fixed it, but that gets overwritten on every update I think.

I guess sv_allow_point_servercommand is only for TF2, which seems stupid. Wtf, Valve?

Well, at least I don't have to recompile my maps... It's something.

Aren't you supposed to duplicate those files and add "_custom" at the end of it, like mapcycle files and whatnot? That way they don't get overwritten on updates.

Not sure if that'd work, Google shows no results for "bspconvar_whitelist_custom.txt"

That file should then stay the same unless you ever run an integrity check on your server (then it might get overwritten). Just check the file every month or so.

Yeah, I guess I have no other option...
