Overview

Console commands are string-based commands that you can run in the game or in the editor. They are also known as exec commands.

To use the editor console commands, type them into the editor command line input box or the command line of the editor log window, and press Enter. They can perform most of the common functions used when editing maps in the editor.

Lists of commands can also be stored in text files in the system directory and executed by typing exec [filename] at the console.
