Admin Commands (SourceMod)

This page lists all of the major admin commands in SourceMod.

Chat Triggers: Remember that commands do not have to be entered through the console; they can be entered via chat triggers. For example, saying "!ban bail" in chat will execute the same command as "sm_ban" and forward the output to chat. You can also use "/" instead of "!" to suppress your command from being shown to users.

How to Target

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).
• @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.

Counter-Strike only:

• @ct or @cts - All Counter-Terrorists
• @t or @ts - All Terrorists

These commands provide extended functionality that may not be present on all games, either due to game or engine differences. In general, they work on the most popular mods. If you have a mod which is new, or not supported yet due to lower popularity, file a feature request.
