Point servercommand

Template:Base point 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.

Warning:This entity can corrupt the map.vmf file if used improperly. Inputs using quotation marks " in the parameter field will cause the vmf to be broken in such a way that hammer refuses to open and compile it. This is because the vmf uses the same quotation marks to determine the end of a string. It will read the quotation mark or your input, assume that to be the end of the string and then realise that the subsequently written words are nonsensical.

Fix:Either remove the quotation marks while hammer is still running, or open the vmf in a text editor, search for this entity and manually remove the unnecessary quotation marks.

In code it is represented by class CPointServerCommand, defined in client.cpp

Note:Due to a high risk of abuse, it is gated by the sv_allow_point_servercommand console variable.
