toplayer command not working in RCON

 If i try the command from chat nothing happens and no messages in console. If i run the command via F1 console it works fine. If i try to run it through RCON manually it throws an error. 

I'm trying to have a friendly NPC run the command on demand as so:

botrespawn toplayer playerID boss

however this method runs through RCON so the error is thrown.  Any way to fix this?

Error:

Just after posting this I was able to find a work around but having my NPC run the command as:

SendAsPlayer botrespawn toplayer playerID boss

I'm assuming using this method is calling the hook as the player though the F1 console which is why it's working (complete guess here). 

However, it would be nice if running the command through RCON worked if possible. 

Changed Status from Pending to No Response

I'm having this issue as well. Would you be able to DM me the fix as well please? Thanks
