[l4D2] problem ClientCommand

Alexmy · **Author**

I heard that ClientCommand doesn't work anymore, is it true? I tried to enter a client command, but I didn't get any positive response from the game client.

You need check, is specific client command allowed to execute from server.

These are client commands were you can use ClientCommand

What does this mean, is it possible to fix it?

PHP Code:


			
FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE prevented server running command: crosshair

It means it is one of those blocked commands that server can't execute on the clients.

Alexmy, most of commands you're expecting to run on client side is blocked several years ago for security reasons.
The only way to run them from server - replace a client's binary file.
