Console Commands (Morrowind)

Game screen showing the Console Command line.

Game screen showing the Console Command line, with reference set.

For commands in other games, see Console Commands.

Console Commands are a debugging tool available to PC players, adding a wide range of functionality to the game. On American English keyboards, the tilde key (~) will toggle the console screen, but on British English keyboards, that key is the backtick key (`). The backtick is pictured on the tilde key in the United States. The key is located below Escape ( Esc ) and just left of the one (1) key.

Comparisons with other games

As with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Console commands are only available in the PC version of the game.

In Morrowind, -> is used in place of the period used in its successors:

Player->SetWaterWalking 1 is correct.

Player -> SetWaterWalking 1 is correct.

Player.SetWaterWalking 1 is incorrect. Later editions of the game work this way.

The console

Entering codes

• Codes are not case sensitive; "a" is same as "A."

• Codes are shown as: Code <Variable> <#>

• The < and > are not entered with the code, # is replaced by the desired quantity.

• The code to add an item is listed as: AddItem <ItemID> <#>

• To add 500 gold the code is entered as:

additem gold_001 500

• If an ID contains a space it must be enclosed in quotes:

• coc "balmora, guild of mages"

Targeting

To target an object, open the console and click the object. Its name will appear in the console title bar. An item targeted in the console is also called a reference.

Short Code and Prefix

Short code refers to a code having a short form that can be used interchangeably with the Long form.

• ToggleFogOfWar is the long code form.
• TFOW is the short code form.

Prefix refers to a code needing a prefix to work as intended.

• SetHealth <#> will have no effect.
• Player->SetHealth <#> will set the player character's max health to <#>.

Toggle commands

Command	Short Code or Prefix	Effect
ToggleAI	TAI	Toggle the NPC/creature AI

ToggleFullHelp	TFH	Shows ownership and script of objects the player looks at. Useful for knowing who to avoid selling stolen items to.
ToggleGodMode	TGM	Makes the player invulnerable. One can actually still die, when using spells on characters or beasts with reflect. For example, when wearing the Mantle of Woe when the sun is out and casually moving around one will not die, but if the Nerevarine does certain actions such as using objects with "Cast When Used" enchantments or casting certain spells in such a situation the player will die.
ToggleGrid	TG	Displays a grid showing the status of the active (exterior & interior) cells.
ToggleKillStats	TKS	Displays statistics in the console on how many creatures one has killed each time they kill another.
ToggleLoadFade
ToggleLights	TL

ToggleScripts		Toggles scripts on and off. (useful if something is disabled by scripts)
ToggleStats	TST	Toggles display of the various debug statistics.
ToggleSky	TS	Toggles the sky on and off.
ToggleTextureString	TTS	Shows texture strings for targeted objects?
ToggleWorld	TW	Turns off the world. NPCs will still display until the player moves their camera, at which point they will disappear. Does not actually turn off collision, only hides rendering.
ToggleWireframe	TWF	Toggles the display of wireframe 3D objects.
TogglePathGrid	TPG	Toggle path grid display. Displays the grid that helps define where NPCs can walk.
ToggleVanityMode	TVM	Toggles the camera into third person, slowly rotating around the player. Note that unlike the vanity mode caused by not doing anything for awhile, this vanity mode must be toggled to go off. Mouse and keyboard commands do not reset it. Thus, this command allows for moving while the camera is rotating.

Other

Command	Short Code or Prefix	Effect

If PC has no empty Soulgems of the specified type, this commands adds 1 filled soulgem without numeric input. BEWARE: AddSoulgem will Fill ALL empty Soulgems in PC's inventory of the type in the command plus add 1 more as a bonus!! --DerEider (talk) 21:59, November 21, 2017 (UTC)
CenterOnCell <CellID>	COC	Moves the player to <CellID>.
CenterOnExterior, <X, Y>	COE	Move to the center of the exterior cell coordinates <X, Y>

CreateMaps <Filename.esp>		Creates map image file depending on the Create Maps Enable value in the Morrowind.INI file. If the value is 1, the file FILENAME.ESP.MAP is created in the DataFiles path with the map data. If the value is 2 and one has created a directory Maps in the main Morrowind game directory, this command will create a 256x256 high color bitmap of each exterior cell in the game. This command takes a long while even on fast computers as each cell in the game is loaded.
FillMap		Show all the marked locations on the world map (does not include solstheim).
GetFactionReaction <factionID> <factionID>		Display reaction values between two factions.
Getpos <x, y, or z>	player.	Gives the coordinates of the player character on the map.
Help		Shows shorthand for most commands.
PlaceAtPC, <ObjectID>, <Count>, <Distance>, <Direction>		Places an object near the player. <Distance> is # of units away. <Direction> 1 is in front of the player, 3 is behind.
ModFactionReaction, [FactionID], [FactionID], [Value]		Changes Reaction values of first <FactionID> towards members of the second <FactionID>.
ResetActors	RA	Resets every NPC's location to where it originally was.
Set GameHour To <#>		Example: set gamehour to 5 would set the time of day to 0500. Note: The game uses a 24-hour clock. While show gamehour returns floating point values (like 3.8646), set gamehour in the console only accepts integers (e.g., 3 or 4).
Set Timescale To <#>		Changes the speed of the day/night cycle. <1> makes the day go at real-time speed; an in-game day would last 24 hours in real life. <10> will make it ten times as fast as real-time (i.e. one in-game day lasts 2.4 hours), etc. The default timescale is <30> (1 ingame day = 48 real minutes).
Show <variable>		Shows the value of a single variable. Example: Show PCVampire will return 0, 1, or -1 depending on the player's vampire state.
ShowScenegraph	SSG	Create a new Window on the desktop with all the game renderer's information.
