Changing settings in console

To change some setting you need to have rcon to the server. If you do, then you must use the admin_cmd cvar to change the setting. You also must know the setting name that you want to change. If you don’t know any then you can enter:

Rcon admin_cmd “help”

This will display a list of all the settings. You can also use the help command for information on each setting.

Once you know a setting name and what it does you can change the setting of it at any section of the setting by just typing the setting name following by what you want it to change to and optionally the section/parameter at which you want it to change.

Rcon admin_cmd “(Setting name, new Setting, int setting section)”

If you do not provide a number to change the setting at it will use default 2. This is nearly always what you want. 1 would be the setting name.

So the 2nd setting of setting “trig_delay” is “5”. The 3rd is "Delay to wait after a trigger has been used to re-activate it".

So if we wanted to change the setting of “trig_delay” to 9 seconds we would enter.

If you do it right it wil inform you that you did. Now if you wanted to change the 3rd parameter of trig_delay. This might seem odd but for some settings they have many parameters past 3rd. For this example I will use trig_delay as you have seen it though. The 3rd parameter is the help section. You can change the by entering:

Rcon admin_cmd “trig_delay hello 3”

It will then tell you the help has been changed to hello. You can then check this by entering:

Rcon admin_cmd “help trig_delay”

The command help shows you the help and other information on this command.
