firetarget is a console command available in all 
Source games. This command calls an entity's Use function with use type USE_TOGGLE. It represents the way GoldSrc entities communicate.
Syntax
Syntax: firetarget <targetname or classname>
Not providing an argument is equivalent to !picker. !activator / !caller / !self target the player issuing the command.
Examples
firetarget env_sprite - toggles env_sprites on/off as they have left-over use function which is officially still used in certain 
Half-Life: Source maps and targetted by multi_manager.
firetarget button - assuming button is name of a func_button this command will press it
It prints messages to console about what is being fired if at least developer 2 is set.
Note:Use input seems to use outputID property of an event as use type, which means that the first parsed output in currect game session will actually be type USE_ON, second one will be USE_SET and the rest will be USE_TOGGLE (mind that map menu backgrounds is the place where first output in the current game session will be parsed) Use input fired via ent_fire will always be USE_OFF because ent_fire sets outputID of an IO event to 0.
