Console Basics

Welcome to the CS 1.6 Admin Command Tutorial. This guide will teach you how to properly use AMX Mod X administrative commands in the console.

Basic Syntax: command_name <parameter>

Critical: Player Targeting

PARTIAL NAME MATCHING: All commands use substring matching for player names. If multiple players match your input, the command will fail.

Example: Players "Toreno2" and "Toreno" are online.
amx_ban toreno 60 insults ← FAILS (matches both players)
amx_ban toreno2 60 insults ← WORKS (unique match)

This applies to all commands that target players!
RECOMMENDED: USING USERID To avoid name matching issues, always use the userid with # prefix:

Step 1: Type status in console
Step 2: Find the player's userid in the output
Step 3: Use the userid with # prefix in your command

Status output example:
#1 "Toreno" 5012 STEAM_1:0:742130993 15 11:06 45 0
     └─ userid is 5012

Usage: amx_ban #5012 60 insults

This method works for ALL commands that target players!

Other Important Rules

SPACES IN PARAMETERS: If your parameter contains spaces, wrap it in quotes:
amx_ban toreno 60 "insults + bad behavior"
