Console Command List

Console Command List

The Garry's Mod console is a powerful interface for interacting with the game, executing commands, and debugging issues. A comprehensive understanding of available console commands can sificantly enhance your gameplay, server administration, and scripting endeavors.

Console commands in Garry's Mod range from basic game controls to advanced server management functions. They are typically entered into the console window, accessed by pressing the tilde (~) key by default. Commands can be used to change game settings, spawn entities, manipulate physics, manage players on a server, and much more. For example, commands like `sv_cheats 1` enable cheat functions, while `noclip` allows for free movement through the environment. Server administrators frequently use commands to manage their servers, such as `kick` or `ban` to deal with disruptive players.

• Game Settings: Commands to adjust graphics, audio, and gameplay parameters (e.g., `fov`, `snd_mixahead`).
• Player Control: Commands affecting your character (e.g., `noclip`, `god`, `sv_showimpacts`).
• Entity Manipulation: Spawning and controlling entities (often requires `sv_cheats 1`).
• Server Administration: Commands for managing multiplayer servers (e.g., `kick`, `ban`, `changelevel`).
• Debugging: Commands to help diagnose issues (e.g., `developer`, `condump`).

many commands require `sv_cheats 1` to be enabled, which is typically only possible on your own listen server or with administrator privileges on a dedicated server. Always be cautious when using commands, as incorrect usage can lead to unintended consequences or server instability.
