About

ServerChatToPlayer delivers a chat message from the server to a single player. Use it to send notifications, warnings, or instructions to individual players without broadcasting to the entire server.

Provide the player's character name and the message text as arguments. The message appears in that player's chat window as a server message. This command requires admin or cheat mode and works from the console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Send cheat ServerChatToPlayer <Name> <Message> through RCON or your control-panel console. If the connection already runs with admin context, omit the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
