point_servercommand is a point available in all 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:Due to a high risk of abuse, it is gated by the sv_allow_point_servercommand console variable.

Note:In Garry's Mod , due to abuse, the point_servercommand and point_clientcommand is removed.

Workaround:Use lua_run RunConsoleCommand('command')

Bug:In Hammer, using " symbol in parameter field will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.  [todo tested in?]
