Developer Console
The developer console works much like the in-game consoles you may have encountered in other games. It allows you to enter text commands to spawn objects, change levels, open the game's debug menu, and more.
The in-game developer console is always enabled and can be accessed at any time by pressing the ` (tilde) key to open it. When you start typing a command auto complete suggestions will appear, you can select an option by using the Up and Down arrow keys, and auto-complete the option by pressing the TAB key. When you are finished typing a command press ENTER to submit it. You can access previously entered commands by using the Up/Down arrow keys to cycle through the command history buffer.
Below is a list of console commands, what they do, and what parameters they take. When using the console commands it is important to note that some of these commands can crash your game if used incorrectly. These are intended for research purposes so avoid using them if you are afraid of losing any unsaved game progress.
Some console commands take parameters which are outlined in <> brackets, optional parameters are outlined in [] brackets. When typing the command into the developer console do not include the brackets.
spawn_item <item id>
Spawns the specified item at the player's position. For a list of spwnable item ids please see Item IDs. Not all items are spawnable using the spawn_item command, for things like vehicles and npcs you will need to use spawn_object instead.
spawn_object <object name> [archive path]
Spawns the specified object at the players position. The object name parameter is the name of the class object you want to spawn, ex: uVehicleOm09. For a list of object names you can use with this command please see Object IDs. When using an object name from this list you do not need to use the archive path parameter.
The archive path parameter is the archive file path for the object. For example, the archive file path for the red car is arc\rom\om\om0009\om0009. This parameter is intended to be used for objects not listed in the link above and is needed to spawn objects that are not loaded in the current area. Spawning an object that has not been loaded can cause the game to crash.
Any object that inherits uSnatcherModel can be spawned using this command.
load_area <area name>
Loads the specified area, area name can be one of the following:
| Area name | Description |
|---|---|
| s100 | Entrance Plaza |
| s200 | Paradise Plaza |
| s300 | Wonderland Plaza |
| s400 | North Plaza |
| s500 | Seon's Food & Stuff |
| s600 | Maintenance Tunnels |
| s700 | Leisure Park |

`pause_move_line
Suspends the specified movement line from updating, the line number must be between 0 and 31 inclusive. To see what objects are in a move line use the print_move_lines command. A movement line is a group of entities that the game is actively updating, this can be enemies, npcs, items, lighting, the player, etc.
resume_move_line <line number>
Resumes a paused move line so it will run updates, the line number must be between 0 and 31 inclusive. To see what objects are in a move line use the print_move_lines command.

Enables the zombie spawner debug option. Pressing down on the left thumb-stick on the controller will spawn a bunch of zombies in the players immediate area. Must have a controller connected to use.
item_randomizer <0/1>
Randomizes items that are spawned on the map. Use 1 or 0 to enable or disable item randomization.
open_debug_menu
Opens the game's debug menu, also known as SysMenu. This is a re-implemented version of the debug menu using the ImGui UI interface. Some of the functionality of the debug menu that was available in beta versions of the game has been removed in the final version, so some options may be missing or non-functional.
