point_broadcastclientcommand is a logical entity available in all 
Source games since 
Left 4 Dead. It's an entity that issues commands to each valid client's console, as if it was typed in by that player locally.
Tip:In other VScript supported titles where this entity is not available, you can use the following entity script inside a point_clientcommand
function BroadcastCommand(command) {
for(local player; player = Entities.FindByClassname(player, "player"); ) {
EntFire("!self", "Command", command, 0, player);
}
}
and run the function via
clientcommand_name RunScriptCode BroadcastCommand(`console_command_here`)
Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Note:All usable commands and Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as point_clientcommand.
