Console activation in Valve games

Hello everyone, today we're going to look at how to activate the console in Valve games or directly in a game such as Garry's Mod.

The console allows you to enter a number of useful commands, such as :

 

Main orders 

kill: Kill yourself (useful for changing skin or if you're stuck with Godmode activated)

retry: reconnect to the server (after a server crash, for example)

net_graph 1 (Values 1 to 3 give you information about your framerate, the connection, and the state of the server, 0 clears the graph)

bind x " action " (with x the key of your choice, and " action " the command to be entered between inverted commas)

Examples of blinds

bind p toggleconsole => show / hide the console

bind k kill => Kills you when you press k

bind n "net_graph 1" and bind b "net_graph 0" => Enable/Disable net_graph with n and b.

For gmod: bind f " ulx noclip " => activate the noclip -voler- with the ulx plugin if you have authorisation.

For gmod: bind t "ulx menu" => displays the ulx menu

And in text :

To do this, simply right-click on your game (Counter strike, garry's mod, half life, etc.),
to go to properties and define launch options

 

In the launch options, type -console in the bar and then OK(Several properties of the game can
be modified in this way, I leave it to you to find out)

 

So when you launch your game, you'll be able to see the console appear directly.

 

 

So you can close it and reopen it as you like:

Go directly to your game settings in the advancedtick the box "Enable developer
console " then do OK key twice. You can then open the console by pressing ² .

 

 

 

You can optionally change the console key (Toggle Console), although the default ² key is perfect for most.

 

 

 

Don't forget to apply and/or press OK, and voilà, your console is activated!

Enjoy the game!
