User commands

A user command (usercmd) contains information about the player's inputs: which keys are pressed and any movement of the mouse. The game client sends a user command to the game server many times per second (defined by the cl_cmdrate convar). This information is only recorded in POV demos - it is not available in GOTV demos. More technical details can be found on Usercmd.

You can observe each user command with:

demoFile.on("usercmd", cmd => {
  if (cmd.buttons.includes("jump") && cmd.buttons.includes("back")) {
    console.log("player jumped backwards!");
  }
});
