Console Commands

The console is an in-game tool used to display logs and error messages, run commands and edit the game's settings while playing. It is an essential tool for creating Custom Levels. Console commands allow you to tweak settings that aren't accessible otherwise, like modifying the game's speed, applying custom resolutions, or even displaying debug info and using hotkeys to give yourself more health or use custom video filters.

The console can be opened by pressing the backtick/tilde key [ ` ], usually located under the ESC key. The hotkey can be changed with set_setting console_hotkey [hotkey]. PageUp and PageDn can be used to scroll the console.
