Admin Commands help

General targets:



name - Exact name match, or partial name match (if the partial string is unique).

#userid - If userid is numeric, the player will be targeted by their userid (found via the "users" command).

#steamid - Matches by Steam ID. If you use colons (, you must enclose in quotes. Otherwise, you can use an underscore (_) instead. Examples: "#STEAM_0:1:4433", #STEAM_0_1_4433

#<name> - Exact name match after the # sign.

@all - All players (available on most commands).

@bots - All bots (available on most commands).

@alive - All alive players (available on most commands that accept alive players).

@dead - All dead players (available on most commands that accept dead players).

@humans - All non-bot players (available on most commands).

@aim - Current player the admin is directly aiming at.

@me - Target self.

@!me - Target everyone but yourself.

Note that name matches occur last, "magic targets" (such as # and @) are processed first. This means that "@all" will target @all players, even if there is a player named "@all". You should target "#@all" instead.



Counter-Strike only:



@ct or @cts - All Counter-Terrorists

@t or @ts - All Terrorists

Team Fortress 2 Only:



@red - All RED team members

@blue - All BLU team members
