Useful Deadlock Commands

Steam Community guide by LiL Iroh 女.

Basic information

How to open console

You can open the console by using F7 by default

How to set up a config file for commands on startup

You can also set up a config file if you have any commands you would like to run automatically on startup, Eg. putting “citadel_unit_status_use_new true” in your config file (without the " ") will make sure you always have the new health bars enabled.

• In Steam, right click Deadlock and choose properties. In General > Launch Options, add -exec autoexec
• In Steam, right click Deadlock and choose Manage > Browse Local Files. Navigate to game > citadel > cfg. Create a new file called autoexec.cfg.
• Copy paste the commands you wish to run at startup into that config file.

Bonus

Practice Commands

Empty map with useful cheats enabled:

"map dl_streets"
Once you're in the map
"citadel_crate_respawn_interval 0; sv_cheats 1; sv_allchat 1; sv_alltalk 1; citadel_allow_duplicate_heroes 1; host_timescale 1; citadel_coop_sandbox 1; citadel_hero_testing_enabled 1; sv_cheats 1; citadel_hero_testing_infinite_money true; citadel_allow_purchasing_anywhere true; ai_step; kingme; toggle hud_damagemeter 1"
If your map ever looks like one of these 2 instances:
try mat_fullbright 0 to fix it

Orb Spawner:

"ent_create citadel_herotest_orbspawner"
possible bind
"bind 10 ent_create citadel_herotest_orbspawner"

Pause and Unpause Troopers:

"ai_step" & "ai_resume"

Cornerboost/walljump debug

"citadel_wall_detection_debug 1"

Keybinds in deadlock

(Note: +jump does not work in deadlock you should use +in_mantle (bonus: +in_innate1 for dash/roll))

• Melee: — "+in_weapon1"
• Ability1: — "+in_ability1"
• Ability2: — "+in_ability2"
• Ability3: — "+in_ability3"
• Ability4: — "+in_ability4"
• AltCast: — "+in_alt_cast_modifier"
• CancelAbility: — "+in_cancel_ability"
• Item1: — "+in_item1"
  ... same for 2,3,4 (of course replacing the 1)
• Jump/Mantle: — "+in_mantle"
• Roll/Dash: — "+in_innate1"
• Crouch: — "+duck"
• CrouchToggle: — "+in_duck_toggle"
• Zipline: — "+in_zipline"
• MoveForward: — "+forward"
• MoveBackwards: — "+back"
• MoveLeft: — "+left"
• MoveRight: — "+right"
• MoveUp: — "+in_move_up"
• MoveDown: — "+in_move_down"

• Reload: — "+reload"
• ResetCamera: — "reset_camera"
• Text Chat: — "say_chat message" (replace message with your message)
• ToggleMute: — "citadel_toggle_mute"
  My favorite binds:
• Instant Air Dash bind (IAD bind): — bind mwheeldown "+in_innate1; +in_mantle; -in_innate1; -in_mantle"
  (NOTE: the --in_innate1; -in_mantle is very important if you do not add that part the game will think your space key/jump button is being help down and you will not be able to jump; if this happend do "restart" in console and update to the correct bind - in that order!)If you have the source modding SDk installed you can find a list of all bindable keys in SourceModding\Reduced_CSDK_12\game\citadel\cfg\citadel_keys.lst

Debug Commands

This section contains various usefull debug commands that might help you to test things or understand the game better.

Debugging collisions:

citadel_show_bullet_lag_compensation [NUMBER]: This shows the actual hitbox used for bullets, this will toggle it on any entity you shoot for the time you have put in the [number] section
example: citadel_show_bullet_lag_compensation 1

Using the command ent_vcollide_wireframe you can view the wireframe of anything you're looking at at the time of entering the command. Note this is not used for bullet collision as far as I'm aware.

Debugging Line Of Sight

citadel_debug_ent_los true This can be usefull to better undestand abilities that work using line of sight such as billies ult. (Red means line of sight (LOS) is broke green means something is within line of sight)

Misc

citadel_wall_detection_debug 1 Cornerboost/walljump debug

r_showdebugoverlays true This one is interesting but its messy. This can help visualize various things, its quite usefull for general debugging allthough most of it you wont need such as textures, buffers, items file names, particle bounding boxes etc.

• citadel_ability_debug true : this allows you to debug abilities so that there's absolutly no cooldown, unlike citadel_enable_fast_cooldowns (the command used in the debug window) this has a actual cooldown of 0 rather then 1 second
• citadel_spawn_all_heroes_in_a_line: This will spawn all heroes in a line this can be usefull for testing piercing damage or to just quickly spawn in multiple heroes.
• citadel_spawn_urn: Spawns urn
• differences: Allows you too see what commands have been changed on a server or locally

My personal favourite commands

These commands don't really fit in any section but are still incredibly fun.
citadel_one_on_one_match true - When using this in the hideout this will make the bot's have a one on one fight, so Abrams will fight Infernus. This can also be used to test a build you have as the bot's can also fight you.
(citadel_solo_bot_match true this seems to do the same thing.)
You can also use notarget to make sure the bots don't target you if you just want to watch them fight.
citadel_hideout_ball_show_juggle_count 1 // Shows a fun juggle count minigame for hideout ball.
citadel_hideout_ball_show_juggle_fx 1 // Shows juggle visual FX for hideout ball minigame.
citadel_ability_debug true - this allows you to debug abilities so that there's absolutly no cooldown, unlike citadel_enable_fast_cooldowns (the command used in the debug window) this has a actual cooldown of 0 rather then 1 second

Hosting Custom Games

[OUTDATED] but you might still get something out of it / figure our how to get it to work, I'm currently quite busy :(
[DISCLAMER] This section has been shamelessly stolen from https://deadlock.wiki/Console_commands

• The host starts a custom game by loading into the map with map street_test
• You may want to pause the game immediately after joining by pressing P to give other players time to join the match.
• The host finds their ID by running status
• Find a green line in the console that looks like this: [Client] steamid : [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) (the Xs will be replace with numbers)
• Select the part after steamid that looks like this, including the square brackets: [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX]
• Right click and choose "Copy Selected Text"
• The host sends players the ID they just copied. Players can now connect to the game by opening their console and running connect [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX] (replace the part after connect with the ID they got from the host).
• Upon joining, players will be able to select their team and hero. To bring up this menu again, players can run changeteam 0.
• If you ever want to restart the game, the host can run changelevel street_test.

Adding Bots

• On the main menu, before you start the game, run exec citadel_botmatch_practice_6v6.cfg to load the bot config.
  (used to be called exec citadel_botmatch_practice_6v6_hard)
• You can replace hard with easy or medium to choose the bot difficulty.
• If you're already in a game, you can perform these steps then run changelevel street_test to restart the game instead of starting a new one.
• Run citadel_spawn_practice_bots false so that bots won't spawn immediately when the game starts.
• Run citadel_spawn_practice_bots_count 12 to ensure that bots fill all remaining slots (they'll be added until both teams have 6 players).
• Start the game (i.e. map street_test) and press P to pause the game during the pregame (as soon as you load in).
• You can use citadel_pregame_duration before starting the game to increase the duration of the pregame if you want.
• Allow all other human players to connect and select their team and hero.
• The team/hero menu can be a bit glitchy. Players can use the changeteam command instead (see table above for command description).
• Remember to choose your (the host's) own team and hero as well. This may automatically unpause the game - press P after selecting a team to pause again.
• After all human players have joined teams and selected heroes, the host runs citadel_spawn_practice_bots true, then presses P again to unpause the game. Bots should fill the remaining slots on each team.
