BeamNG.drive Command Cheet Sheet

１．How to use command?

These commands can be used in “System Console”.

You can open it by pressing ^ key when you play BeamNG.drive in freeroam mode.
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("WHAT YOU WANT TO EXECUTE") 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 easier.
Select console for target vehicle, and execute just what you want to do.

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.

TIPS for debugging table type.

# table length
table.maxn(table01)

Vehicles information

# Player Vehicle
tbl1 = core_vehicle_manager.getPlayerVehicleData()

# Other Vehicle
tbl1 = core_vehicle_manager.getVehicleData(vid)

# list of traffic vid
tbl1 = extensions.gameplay_traffic.getTrafficList()

# Vehicle basic infomation
tbl1 = core_vehicles.getVehicleList()

# for example: get vehicle value
for k, v in pairs(tbl1['vehicles'][42]['model']['aggregates']['Value']) do print(k) print(v) end
