point_servercommand is a point available in all Source Source games. It issues commands to the server console. It's used by simply placing it in a map and triggering the Command input, the parameter override should be the exact console command to run or console variable to change.

Confirm:Any ConCommands/ConVars that aren't cheat flagged or hidden can be used.
Note.pngNote:Due to a high risk of abuse, it is gated by the sv_allow_point_servercommand console variable.
Note.pngNote:In Garry's Mod Garry's Mod , due to abuse, the point_servercommand and point_clientcommand is removed.
PlacementTip.pngWorkaround:Use lua_run RunConsoleCommand('command')
