Portal 2 Console Commands

Sometimes, in almost every game, Cheat Codes make something more interesting. Here are a list of codes that you can use in the Portal 2 Console.

Console Basics

In order to access the Developer Console, you must go into the pause menu and click on Options, Keyboard/Mouse, EDIT KEYS/BUTTONS. Be sure to click them in that order. Next, scroll down to "Developer Console" And choose whichever key you want to access it. Make sure that Developer Console is enabled. Once you set it up, Type in "sv_cheats 1" and hit "Enter" Once that's set up, you can do anything from shooting missliles out of your face, to spawning Wheatley anywhere you want.

Note that when "sv_cheats 1" is enabled, any proggress in your current game session will be paused. Which means that you cannot get acheivements or Inventory Items, even if you turned it off.

How to bind

When it comes to the Portal 2 dev console, (And other games, such as Portal) There is a way to Bind cheat codes. Which means to do multiple codes at the same time. That might sound confusing and difficult, but it is actually really easy to do. All you need to do is type your code, and put a ; at the end of it, then press the Spacebar and write another code.

{EXAMPLE: ent_create npc_personality core; noclip; god}

[Dunkus]

That would be ent_create prop_monster_box.

[Saffron]

What is the command for spawning that turret cube hybrid thing?

[Dunkus]

well then all i can say is enjoy steam at your age while you still can, and take nothing for granted

[techniciandeimos]

i am 11 !

[tauon gaming]

ah you were 11 that explains it but don't worry it does help and it's very good

[CubicSkull]

ok

[Dunkus]

also i'll just say i'm really surprised this is STILL going strong with awards and shit
i mean i made this when i was 11 so it's really just baffling this was any sort of coherant
so thanks for deciphering a child's mad ramblings

[Dunkus]

in the future i'm going to do more research towards valve console commands and update this as much as i can so look forward to that

[Dunkus]

i do know there is a command that allows you to change your playermodel

i don't remember it sadly but i do know that from experience of messing with it that it's very fickle

i dunno could just be my computer but some models outright crash the game

[CubicSkull]

can you like do a cheat to make you p body in one player?
