Player Commands

Introduction to Player Commands

These are console commands that players can use if the plugin that they belong to is loaded.
Something to keep in mind is that these commands can either be used through chat triggers or as console commands, which often confuses players.
In order to demonstrate how to properly use a command, I'll provide an example:

Command(s)	Description
sm_test, sm_testie	Does nothing, serves as an example

• Console Usage:
  • Step 1 - Open Console.
  • Step 2 - Type in sm_test or sm_testie and press Enter.
• Chat Usage:
  • Step 1 - Open chat.
  • Step 2 - Type in !test OR /test (same applies to "testie").

If you decide to bind a key to use this command, the proper way to do this would be: bind <key> sm_test

NOTE:

Not all plugins are loaded in every matchmode, some servers may also handle some commands differently and/or have additional commands available on their servers.
This page only exists to show the available commands that exist in a typical L4D2 Competitive scenario.
