I am working on a new coop map and I want to kill both players when a relay is triggered. I am using "player" as the target and "Kill" as the input, but nothing happens. When I enable the dev log both bots get the Kill input i get the following.
```
(9.93) input blue: prop_button.Use()
(10.00) output: (prop_button,) -> (player,Kill)()
(10.00) input : blue.Kill()
(10.00) input : red.Kill()

```I am using a button because it takes awhile to trigger the relay.

Placing a trigger_hurt around the map is not an option for my map.

NEVER use the input "kill" on players. It removes them, not just kills them. The console command "kilL" does just kill them.

What about a normal trigger_hurt you do activate for 1 second everywhere on the map?

You could parent a trigger_hurt to the player from the map's start, then activate as necessary

I tried calling this console command but I got an unhandled input. Could you please expand what you mean.

I'm still trying to stay away from a trigger_hurt. I got to wait to test with another player but I'm trying to see of using a point_clientcommand will work. It works for killing the bot I'm controlling at the time, but no idea if it will fire on both player's console.

You need a point_servercommand to affect everyone on the server. Send it the input "Command" with the parameter "kill".

So call the Command Kill worked when I ran the game spiltscreen for one bot. However when I ran the game from the workshop it did nothing, and I forgot to show the dev logs(I'll add them later).

I think I'm just gonna have to use a large trigger_hurt to do this.

You're sure you placed a servercommand in the level?

Maybe kill is considered a cheat. show_time_hud 0; sv_cheats 1; kill; sv_cheats 0 should do it.

Kill is a cheat since DLC 1 or 2, before it wasn't.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just put in the trigger_hurt and it works great.

If anyone does figure out how to do this without the trigger please let me know.

In coop I used this many times to get out of certain situations / glitch it.
