Console commands

A list of all console commands (ConCommands) — their description and usage syntax

How to read console command syntax

Before we begin, let's understand how to read the syntax used in this documentation

Argument Notation

Command arguments (the parameters you pass) are denoted by special brackets:

Syntax	Meaning	Example
<argument>	A required argument — you must replace it with your own value	kick <name>
[argument]	An optional argument — it can be omitted	kick <name> [reason]
<on|off>	A choice between the suggested options, separated by |	log <on|off>

Using Quotation Marks ("")

If an argument contains spaces or you want to combine multiple commands into a single line, it must be enclosed in double quotes (")
Without them, the console will treat each word as a separate command or argument

• Incorrect: say Hello world (only "Hello" will be sent to the chat)
• Correct: say "Hello world" (the entire phrase will be sent)

This is especially important when creating binds with multi-commands: bind F1 "buy ak47; buy vesthelm"

Important
The brackets <>, [], and the | symbol should not be typed into the console
They only describe the command's structure

Settings & Configuration

Command	Description
bind <key> <command>	Binds a command to a key For example: bind q "lastinv"
unbind <key>	Unbinds a command from a key
unbindall	Unbinds all commands from all keys
bindlist [template]	Displays a list of all current key bindings
sbindlist	Displays a list of 'shadow' key bindings set by the server
multvar <cvar> <minvalue> <maxvalue> <factor>	Multiplies a cvar's value by a factor if it is within the specified range For example: bind uparrow "multvar voice_scale 0.01 1 2" bind downarrow "multvar voice_scale 0.01 1 0.5"
incrementvar <cvar> <minvalue> <maxvalue> <delta>	Changes a cvar's value within a specified range For example: bind uparrow "incrementvar viewmodel_fov 60 179 1" bind downarrow "incrementvar viewmodel_fov 60 179 -1"
BindToggle <key> <cvar>	A simplified version of incrementvar for quickly toggling a cvar between 0 and 1 For example: BindToggle F4 voice_enable
alias <name> <command>	Creates an alias for a single command or a group of commands For example: alias buy_grens "hegren;sgren;flash;"
wait [frames]	A special modifier command that pauses the execution of a command sequence for a specified number of frames Unlike the old behavior, where you had to write wait; wait; wait;, you can now specify the number of frames • wait — pauses for 1 frame • wait 10 — pauses for 10 frames Ideal for creating complex scripts For example: alias fastbuy "buy; wait 30; slot4; wait 30; slot2" info wait is not a standard command It is processed directly by the command buffer and will not appear in console autocomplete
exec <filename.cfg>	Executes commands from the specified configuration file
writecfg <filename.cfg>	Saves the current settings (cvars) to the specified file
setinfo <key> <value>	Sets or changes a value in your userinfo string For example: setinfo "_vgui_menus" "0"
