console

The console table gives access to game convars and console commands by name: console.sv_cheats, console.echo.

console.<name>#

Returns: convar if a convar with this name exists; otherwise command if a command exists; otherwise nil.

local sens = console.sensitivity
if sens then print(sens.name, " = ", sens.value) end

pairs(console)#

Iterates over all commands and convars: {name = command}, then {name = convar}.

Returns: a pairs iterator.

local n = 0
for name, obj in pairs(console) do n = n + 1 end
print("Commands and convars: ", n)

The convar object#

Read-only: assigning fields changes nothing and gives no error.

local c = console.sv_cheats
if c and c.is_valid then
    print("sv_cheats = ", c.value)   -- boolean
end

The command object#

command(...)#

Runs the command directly, bypassing the console queue. Each argument becomes a separate word of the command (converted to a string as in print).

Returns: nothing.

console.echo("[script] hello", 1, true)
