Commands List (1.2)

The console may be activated by pressing Shift+C+8.

By default, the T key may be used to open the console, and the enter key may be used to submit a command. You may also use the / key to open the console with a forward slash, if you want to use a command.

All commands can be run by adding / before them. Multiple commands may be used on the same line, use ; to separate them. Quotes may be used to include spaces in parameters.

Please keep in mind that the console is not a game mechanic, and please do not become attached to any commands, or you will be setting yourself up for disappointment: All commands are subject to be changed or removed.

NOTE: If you are coming from an older version of Giftscop, such as 1.1.1, many commands have been renamed or changed. You may click HERE to view a summary of what's changed between 1.1.1 and 1.2.
