Information
Unreal Engine has a large number of console commands that can be used for debugging, profiling, rendering, testing, and changing editor or gameplay behavior. A quick way to discover them is to view the Console Variables list directly inside Unreal Engine. Watch the video tutorial to learn more, or follow the steps in this article.
View the Console Variables list
Go to Help > Console Variables. This will open a window in your default browser with a list of all available console commands you can enter into the console.
Alternative list
You can also use the DumpConsoleCommands to list many useful console commands directly in the console. To do this:
- Open the console in Unreal Engine by pressing the ~ key. Depending on your keyboard layout, the key may be different. You can also use the console command input field in the editor.
- Type the following command into the console:
DumpConsoleCommands - After running the command, open the Output Log and search for the command or keyword you are interested in. For example, you can search for terms like showflag, stat, r., debug, or render.
The DumpConsoleCommands list is not as extensive as the Console Variables list.
When to use this
This is helpful when you want to explore hidden tools, debug a feature, find rendering options, inspect performance commands, or check which console variables are available in your current Unreal Engine version.
