sandbox mode, How do I play as my character?

[Nugget]

Am I able to disable the flying around camera and play as the character like in freeplay?

You need to use a console command to create a character:

/c game.player.create_character()

This will create a body and place you in it, with collisions when moving, health and equipment slots.

nice - that one's getting pasted on my list of really useful stuff :-)

You might as well paste the wiki page with a ton of console commands then:

i really should - but i favourite'd it instead (already got the wiki starred, but that specific page is a winner, so i shall give it it's own star) - and i shall leave the list for particularly tasty morsels :-)

and thanks :-)

Hey i have tried this however i get an error, if you want to help me then the error is 1: bad argument #2 of 2 to 'create_character' (string expected, got nil) I feel like this is a dumb thing I am doing, please help me.

It worked for me. Can you paste exactly what you typed?

[Gummishyguy]

You're not supposed to put anything between the (), you have to keep it exactly to:

/c game.player.create_character()
