Unreal Tournament: Master Console Commands

AntMag.NET

Hey there! So, you've been playing Unreal Tournament for a bit, and maybe you're looking to spice things up, especially during practice sessions or just for fun. This section is all about those handy console commands that can totally change how you play, though keep in mind most of these are disabled in online matches or the UT ladder – they're mostly for messing around or getting better on your own.

We're going to cover some cool stuff like making yourself invincible, flying around maps, messing with game speed, and instantly getting all the best gear. Let's dive in!

Centerview

This command, centerview, is pretty niche. It basically aligns your view so it's perfectly level with the ground you're standing on. It's not super useful most of the time, unless you're rocking a sniper rifle or maybe the Ripper. Think of it as a temporary view adjustment you hold down while using it, and release to go back to normal.

Behindview

Ever wanted to peek around corners without exposing yourself? That's what behindview is for. It lets you switch between the standard first-person view and a third-person perspective. While third-person isn't great for actual combat, it's a lifesaver for scouting ahead or checking out your surroundings. It's also surprisingly useful when you're piloting a Redeemer missile or lining up a shot with a sniper scope. You can bind this to two different keys, but the neat trick here is making it a toggle – one key to switch to third-person, and the same key to switch back to first-person.

Here's how you can set that up in your user.ini:

Aliases[##]=(Command="behindview 1 | set input [key]firstperson",Alias=thirdperson)
Aliases[##]=(Command="behindview 0 | set input [key]=thirdperson",Alias=firstperson)
[key]=thirdperson | firstperson

Bot Orders

If you're playing with bots and want to give them some direction without fumbling through menus, these commands are clutch. You can issue group commands instantly, though for individual orders, you'll still need to use the F12 menu. Just bind these to separate keys for quick access:

All attack: [key]=speech 2 2 -1
All defend: [key]=speech 2 0 -1
All hold position: [key]=speech 2 1 -1
All cover you: [key]=speech 2 3 -1
All freelance: [key]=speech 2 4 -1

Miscellaneous Commands (Practice & Fun)

These next few commands are mostly for practice sessions or just messing around. They're disabled in online games and the UT ladder because, well, they'd be cheating! But for honing your skills or just having a laugh, they're awesome.

God Mode

Want to be invincible? Just type god. Using the command again will turn it off. You can even set up aliases to toggle it on and off with a message popping up in the chat.

[key]=god
Example alias for toggling:

Aliases[##]=(Command="say #[GODMODE ON] | god | set input [key]godoff",Alias="godon")
Aliases[##]=(Command="say #[GODMODE OFF] | god | set input [key]godon",Alias="godoff")
[key]=godoff

Fly / Ghost / Walk

These three commands let you manipulate your movement and collision:

fly: Lets you fly around the map, but you're still solid and can be shot or bump into things.
ghost: This disables clipping, meaning you can pass through walls and obstacles, and you can't be shot. Perfect for exploring or getting to hard-to-reach spots.
walk: This brings you back to normal movement and vulnerability. If you're flying, it'll drop you to the ground. If you're ghosting outside the map boundaries, be careful – this could lead to a death!

Here are some handy aliases for toggling these:

Fly/Walk Toggle:

Aliases[##]=(Command="say #[FLIGHT ON] | fly | set input [key]flyoff",Alias="flyon")
Aliases[##]=(Command="say #[FLIGHT OFF] | walk | set input [key]flyon",Alias="flyoff")
[key]=flyon

Ghost/Walk Toggle:

Aliases[32]=(Command="say #[GHOST ON] | ghost | set input [key]ghostoff",Alias="ghoston")
Aliases[33]=(Command="say #[GHOST OFF] | walk | set input [key]ghoston",Alias="ghostoff")
[key]=ghoston

Slow Motion

Need to slow things down to practice a tricky maneuver or just enjoy the chaos? Use the slomo command. The default game speed is 1 (slomo 1). Numbers higher than 1 speed things up, and lower numbers slow it down.

Example alias for fast/normal speed toggle:

Aliases[##]=(Command="slomo 2 | set input [key] speednormal | onrelease say #[SPEED: NORMAL]",Alias=speedfast)
Aliases[##]=(Command="slomo 1 | set input [key] speedfast | onrelease say #[SPEED: FAST]",Alias=speednormal)
[key]=speedfast

All Weapons / Ammo

Running low on gear? These commands will sort you out instantly:

[key]=loaded: Gives you all weapons (except the Redeemer) with default ammo, plus 150 armor.
[key]=allammo: Fills your currently held weapons with 999 rounds of ammo each.
[key]=loaded | onrelease allammo | onrelease say #[ARMOUR, WEAPONS & AMMO REFILLED] | onrelease switchtobestweapon: This is the ultimate combo! It gives you all weapons, max ammo, and 150 armor, then switches to your best weapon. Note that 'loaded' sometimes defaults to the Rocket Launcher, so adding 'switchtobestweapon' ensures you get your preferred weapon.

Stop Countdown

In modes with a timer, like Assault or timed practice sessions, you can stop the clock dead in its tracks with stopcountdown. It doesn't pause; it just sets the timer to 0:00.

[key]=stopcountdown | onrelease say #[TIMER STOPPED]

Connect / Disconnect

Need to bail out quickly or rejoin a game? These are your go-to commands:

Disconnect: [key]=say "Disconnecting" | onrelease disconnect – This lets you leave a game instantly with a message to everyone else.
Reconnect: [key]=say "Reconnecting" | onrelease reconnect – This lets you leave and immediately reload the same map and settings, also with a message.
