Binds
You can bind keys on your keyboard as shortcuts for using cheats using this format:

bind "insertkey" "insertcommand"

For example, if you wanted to create a hotkey for the "kill" command to the key M, you would have to type this into your Developer Console:

bind "m" "kill"

So now every time you press M, you will die! Remember not to bind keys such as WASD, FQTEC, Spacebar, SHIFT, TAB, since those are neccessary in regular gameplay. If you want to undo a bind:

unbind "insertkey"

Binding is useful, because you don't have to repeatedly open the Developer Console in order to execute commands. Spawning large quantities of cubes is easy with binds!


Notes

• If you wanna use cheats: Esc -> Options -> Keyboard/Mouse -> Allow Developer Console.
  Press the ` key (upper-left corner of your keyboard) to open the Developer Console. Most of these codes will not work unless cheats are activated (sv_cheats 1).
• When you turn on sv_cheats, all progress for the session is nulled, including story progression and achievements.
• Only the host can enable cheats in Co-op mode. The host is always Atlas, the blue robot.
• The "sv_gravity #" and "cl_showfps #" commands are examples of commands that always work, even if cheats are off.
• Removing certain objects or removing your partner WILL crash the game (ent_remove).
• The gel blobs will spawn in all maps, but they won't actually function properly in maps that do not use mobility gels.
• If you would like to have an easy method of binding all of your keys at once, open up your Program Files and look for: Steam -> steamapps -> common -> portal 2 -> portal2 -> cfg.
  There, you can add and save your own cfg file. Open up Notepad and type in a list of all your binds. Save it and name it "Binds.cfg" (make sure that it really is a cfg extension). Run Portal 2, open your Developer Console, and type:
  

  exec "Binds"

• Use the semicolon ( ; ) to execute multiple commands at once.
  Useful for tricks, such as killing your partner without him being able to retaliate with cheats of his own:
  

  sv_cheats 1; fire_rocket_projectile; sv_cheats 0

  And spawning a huge line of paint:
  

  "ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed"

This could help. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w...e_Command_List
It's not comprehensive for Portal 2, but at least something to begin with.

See this guide for HL2 and Source engine in general(great site btw).

http://www.tweakguides.com/HL2_1.html

The guy that runs this site and writes the guides is now fully legit and does game guides on Nvidias official site.

[Hylian Angel]

Complicated username guy, thank you for trying to help, but 99% of those codes prolly aren't compatible with Portal 2. I'm just trying to find a nice and concise list of cheats that work specifically for Portal 2.

Nacho Friend... are you trying to advertise? That has nothing to do with this thread at all. I'm not trying to improve my engine at all, just trying to find a list of Portal 2 console commands.

~Post deleted~

Never mind. smh lol

[Hylian Angel]

It's confusing since I had no idea Portal 2 used the same engine as Half-Life. =/

Well just realize I was trying to help and that guide has many commands you can use including sv commands. I wasn't trying to advertise, I was just giving props to a good site that I've been visiting for years.

[Hylian Angel]

Sorry for accusing of advertising, I mistakenly assumed that you were when I couldn't find any console commands after a couple minutes of searching.

[Xebec]

These will definitely be useful.

[Warmo161]

I was looking for some other commands and I found some to add to your list:

ent_teleport

simply add "red" or "blue" to teleport the other player to where your crosshair is aiming. I havent tried this yet, as every person I go on co op with, enable cheats and play on the single player maps leave.

I would also add the "bind" and "bind_toggle" commands, so you can quickly enable cheats or noclipping

[Dark Flesh]

btw.
cl_showfps has 4 Versions.
(1 = fps, 2 = smooth fps, 3 = server MS, 4 = Show FPS and Log to file )

For all of you out of Europe.
In some Source Games can you Edit the Developer Console Key right through the Game.
( havent tried with Portal 2 yet )
But if you cant Change the Key via In-Game.
Go to Portal2->Portal2->cfg and look for the normal Config data.
Open it and change the bind "the Key" "Console" to whatever you want.
After that make the Config Read Only since if you dont do it, the Game will Synchonise evrytime you start it and change the Key Again.

Some additions:

Spawn a weighted sphere: ent_create_portal_weighted_sphere

Spawn a dud tractor beam "emitter?": ent_create prop_tractor_beam

Spawn a wall mounted camera (draw things on the wall in coop with these): ent_create npc_security_camera team_door-cam_2_light1

Spawn an error (one of many ways): ent_create prop_dynamic

Spawn a wheatley that blinks and works in coop: ent_create npc_personality_core(@sphere)

Spawn a wall mounted laser: ent_create env_portal_laser(env_portal_laser)

Light yourself, other players, and some objects on fire (Only doable as host; extinguishes after a set short time): ent_fire !picker ignite

Spawn a standing button: ent_create prop_button(prop_button)

Spawn a frankenturret: ent_create prop_monster_box(turret_bot4_monster)

Change frankenturret jump speed (set it really high for a laugh): sv_monster_turret_velocity x

Remove objects (Removing errors, some dynamic props like doors, and various other things will crash the game. Most things won't, though): ent_remove

Slow down or speed up time (default is 1.0): host_timescale x

Change portal size (where w is width and h is height. Default is something like 35 and 55 - just for a point of reference): Portals_resizeall w h

Get potatos on your portal gun: Upgrade_potatogun

Change map (Does NOT require sv_cheats 1; map names here: http://megaswf.com/file/1111662): Changelevel mapname

Kill your partner (Only works as host - With sv_cheats set to 1): Kill Partner'sExactName



Useful combinations:

Kill your partner without him being able to retaliate with cheats of his own:
sv_cheats 1;fire_rocket_projectile;sv_cheats 0
Or
sv_cheats 1;kill Partner'sExactName;sv_cheats 0

Spawn a huge line of paint: "ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed; ent_create_paint_bomb_jump; ent_create_paint_bomb_portal; ent_create_paint_bomb_speed"

[Hylian Angel]

Added those commands. Gonna test some of them out before I add them all.

Edit: Added all the ones that work. The link to the map names is broken.

[Hylian Angel]

So does anybody have any more commands to add? Or a list of map names so that I can check to see if that code works?

[BananasaurusRex]

All of them should have worked. Is there one that you couldn't get to work? Maybe I copy and pasted it wrong or you made a mistake. Let me know which ones you're having trouble with.

As for the link, the steam forums just decided to include the closing parenthesis and the colon after it. I'll edit it in my other post and here it is again: http://megaswf.com/file/1111662
