What it does

Set it to 1 so dead players can only watch their own team, which prevents them from relaying enemy positions. 0 lets them watch anyone. Competitive configs keep it at 1.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
