I only know, through Raeven0, that you can set commands on the server through the map.

Pretty sure it's not possible vice versa though.

the best i could think of would be to make a control room that is seperate from and inaccessable from the rest of the map. in there you could have func_buttons that control doors, lights, func_tanktrains, whatever. the server admin can teleport himself into the room. only problem i see is not being able to see what you're controlling.

you could put in lots of monitors but uh how is it possible to make a teleport just for the admin? its caind of impossible too ...

a server admin can mark a spot that people get teleported to and then teleport them there. I assume it's a way to deal with campers/cheaters/etc that you just want to mess with. Hmmm I dunno if you can do it on any cs:s server or if it has to be running the mani-admin plug in thing.

oh and in cs:s you can only have one working camera.. :/

I'm not sure of the extent to which this works, but the ent_fire command can be used by the admin to trigger things within the map. If you wanted to trigger a door, perhaps you could make a button somewhere the player can't see and make it trigger the door when used. Then name the button something simple that can be associated with the door (so it's clear what the button does) and trigger it ingame with ent_fire. This is the closest and simplest method of making a trigger admin accessable.. to my knowledge. I'm interested to see if anyone else can think of a way.

looks like el ska has the answer
