Overview

This article originally appeared as post #28 in the thread Unlocked some modding helpers on the Nexus XCOM Modding Forum. Additional material was developed in the Nexus XCOM Mod Talk thread Keybind Commands.

This is a list of Unreal 3 Console Commands which have been tested with the Developer Console - XCOM:EU 2012, and their status. Further tests are needed.

To copy the showlog console output to a log file, see this article on how to Copy to the clipboard from the Windows command prompt.

Details

See Unreal Engine 3 Console Commands for the complete list of the Engine commands. Not all commands are to be expected to be implemented. Some listed here are specific to XCOM:EU - 2012.

Syntax: {information}; "(value)": {include the parentheses}; [parameter1|parameter2|...] {only one; omit the square brackets and vertical bar}. Commands do not appear to be case sensitive.


Command Status

For EU modders: the EU commands (or the functions they call) may be found in one (or another) of the following three "CheatManagers":

  • XComGame.upk XComCheatManager
  • XComGame.upk XComTacticalCheatManager
  • XComStrategyGame.upk XComHeadquartersCheatManager

 

If .ini file loading is enabled the EU commands can also be placed in a .txt file, located in the "<SteamLibrary>\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\Binaries" folder, and using the DefaultInput.ini file to bind said .txt file to a (otherwise unused keyboard) key.

 

A

  • AbortCurrentAction : Abort currently active unit's action
  • AddSectoids : probably does as stated although it seems they spawn out of sight. TBC
  • AddTime : Max out current unit's time points
  • AddUnits : spawns soldiers anywhere on the map. They have no head (creepy...) and most of them have no weapon and are unuseable, I got guys with pistols that controlled fine.
  • AddUnits(n) : Drop n Units
  • AIdebugAI : shows a lot of status text for each unit and a status line for the AI actions. Mutually exclusive with ShowDebug.
  • AIDebugModifiers : enhanced AiDebugAi showing abilities and actionque info.
  • AITextVerbose : adds lines to the above about AI behavior (it is mostly hunt even when falling back).
  • AIForceAIFire : AI doesn't move; will always fire on AI's turn.
  • AIMarkers : show hidden AI units
  • AIretaliate : doesn't seem to do anything
  • AIretaliateInstant : doesn't seem to do anything
  • AIshow(things) : no effect found

  • AllAmmo/Allweapons : possibly intended for strategy game
  • Amphibious : ?

    • AIShowNames()
    • AIMarkers()
    • AIDebugPods()
  • availabletexmem : display in the log how much texture mem is available

  • FixMisssions : ?

  • GiveCash : after entering code, press '1' on the number line above WASD, NOT the numpad. Gives $1,000. '5' also works, for whatever reason, but no difference apparent.  Note: the related function is hardcoded to Give $1,000.

(Tested on Long War Mod, may be different in Vanilla.)  If you can find it, you might check DefaultGameCore.ini for ItemBalance=(eItem=eItem_ lines, where proper IDs follow the eItem_; some IDs might take some head-scratching to determine what you are asking for.
  • GivePerk : Tactical Mode.  In EU can give both Soldier and Psi perks (ex: MindFray); it is recommended that one does NOT give Soldier perks to a 'Rookie' . In EW can apply genetic mods.
  • GivePsiGift : Select a unit in Tactical Mode and type this command to unlock Psi on that unit when the mission completes (i.e. Psi ability appears in Strategic Mode).

  • GivePsiPerks : instantly gives all psi perks to selected soldier
  • GivePsiXP : Probably works like "GiveXP": only for currently selected soldier in Tactical Mode.  In EU adds to current PsiXP.
