１．How to use command?

These commands can be used in “System Console”.

You can open it by pressing ^ key.
If not working, let see [Option -> CONTROLS] and look for “console”.

“System Console” has two type of console, one for whole game and the other for each vehicle.

• “GE – Lua”: a console for whole game
• “BeamNG – XX”: a console for each vehicle

“GE – Lua” VS “BeamNG – XX”

If you want to execute command for all vehicles, use “GE – Lua” console, and execute command like this:

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("THE COMMAND YOU WANT TO RUN") end

For example, if you want to explode all vehicles, you can execute like this:

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("fire.explodeVehicle()") end

If you want to execute command for each vehicle, it is much more easy.
Select console for target vehicle, and just execute “THE COMMAND YOU WANT TO RUN“.

For example, if you want to explode a vechivle, only you have to do is executing this command.

fire.explodeVehicle()

From here, I show you funny and convenience command examples.
These are mainly for all vehicles, so if you want to execute for each, please replace like above.

２．Funny Commands

Command for destruction

Breaking All Hinges

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("beamstate.breakHinges()") end

Breaking Completely

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("beamstate.breakAllBreakgroups()") end

Deflate All Tires

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("beamstate.deflateTires()") end

Ignite All Vehicle

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("fire.igniteVehicle()") end

Explode All Vehicle

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("fire.explodeVehicle()") end

Extinguish All Vehicle

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("fire.extinguishVehicle()") end

Command for Force Field

extensions.gameplay_forceField.toggleActive()

extensions.gameplay_forceField.setForceMultiplier(10)

Command for Forced Acceleration

Accelerate all vehicle

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("thrusters.applyVelocity(obj:getDirectionVector() * 100)") end

(“100” is a multiplier. This is three times the km/h unit. 100 means 300km/h)

３．Convenience Commands

Command for electrics( for ALL VECHICLE )

Toggle Left Signal

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.toggle_left_signal()") end

Toggle Right Signal

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.toggle_right_signal()") end

Toggle Warn Signal

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.toggle_warn_signal()") end

Turn ON a Light

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.setLightsState(1)") end

Turn ON a High Beam

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.setLightsState(2)") end

Turn OFF a Light

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.setLightsState(0)") end

Turn ON/OFF a Fog light

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.toggle_fog_lights()") end

If a vehicle has underglow lights, this command also affects to them.
If a vehicle has no fog lights, this command affects nothing.

Turn ON a Lightbar Signal

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.set_lightbar_signal(1)") end

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.set_lightbar_signal(2)") end

If a vehicle has no lightbar, this command affects nothing.

for vid, veh in activeVehiclesIterator() do veh:queueLuaCommand("electrics.set_lightbar_signal(0)") end

If a vehicle has no lightbar, this command affects nothing.

Command for AI

ai.setMode('<mode>')

mode: ‘flee’, ‘chase’, ‘follow’, ‘traffic’, ‘random’

ai.setMode('disabled')

Generate Traffic

gameplay_traffic.setupTraffic(maxAmount, policeRatio, extraAmount, parkedAmount)

maxAmount: Number of vehicles. Specify an integer value greater than or equal to 0. If -1 is specified, it follows the setting value of the option.
