point_clientcommand
is a logical entity available in all Source games. It issues commands to the client console as if they were typed manually by the player. The client commands are sent as parameters of the Command input. Only one instance of the entity is ever needed in a map.
In multiplayer games, the commands are only executed on the Activator's client. If the activator was not a player, then it simply won't do anything (unless it's in commentary mode; then the command will be executed from the first player). If you require all players to execute the command, use the point_broadcastclientcommand entity instead.
This command (in conjunction with point_servercommand and the config (cfg) file) used to allow a client to cheat on multiplayer servers through changing player names, execute client commands, and other things. On multiplayer servers, any command that DOES NOT HAVE the FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE flag set cannot be executed by this entity; any attempt will be reported to console and blocked.
