A Hat in Time: Developer Console

List of commands to use with the Developer Console. Please use them with caution, I am not responsible if you break your game.

Setting up Developer Console
To use the Developer Console functions you first need to activate it in Game Settings.

  • Then restart the game.
  • After restarting you can activate the command prompt with ~ or tab.
  • Type in enablecheats and enter.
  • Now you can enter in any of the commands from the list to activate them.
  • Press ~ or tab again to exit out of the command prompt.

Console Commands List

enablecheats (necessary to use the commands)

Summon HatinTimeGameContent.Hat_Collectible_RouletteToken – Creates a rift token (warning, be careful using this command if you haven’t done any time rifts; your game will softlock)

fly – Similar to ghost, but the player is able to collide with geometry (interestingly, touching a tightrope disables flying)

ghost – Puts the player into a ‘ghostly’ state where they can fly, pass through geometry, and are not affected by damage

walk – Disables fly/ghost Mode

changesize [number] – 1 is default, changes the size of Hat Kid

god – Toggles God Mode, making Hat Kid lose no health when attacked or damaged

slomo [number] – 1 is default, modifies the games speed (seems to reset when using the time stop hat

cammode – Toggles a freecam similar to the camera badge, however it isn’t tied to Hat Kid (note: The camera will still collide with geometry and the field of view will change to something lower, but this can be fixed with the command fov 90)

teleport – Teleports the player to the surface they are looking at

setspeed [number] – Modifies Hat Kids ground speed and water speed (only seems to work in water)

setgravity [number] – Changes the gravity (default is -750 – Jammy)

open [mapname] – Loads the inputted map (check HatinTimeGame\CookedPC\Maps) for maps.

startfire – Causes Hat Kid to attack with her umbrella or use the hookshot when available (equivalent of holding down attack button)

stopfire – Equivalent of releasing attack button

togglefirstperson – Toggles first person (you cannot move while in first person)

playercamerazoomin – Zooms the camera in

playercamerazoomout – Zooms the camera out

oncameraplayerfocus – Centres the camera

say [message] – Outputs the message on screen

teamsay – Functions identically to “say” command

setjumpz [number] – Changes your jump height (default is 540 -)

playersonly – Set the world to only update players, ignoring all other actors

killparticles – Deactivates particle systems and destroys all particles

FOV [number] – Changes FOV to given number (max 170, min 1, default 90)

suicide – Kills Hat Kid

showdebug – Toggles the overall display of properties of the player’s current ViewTarget

restartlevel – Restarts the level

stat levels – Toggles display of a list of currently active levels and displays their status through colour coding

showhud – Toggles the visibility of all HUD items.

togglehud – Toggles the visibility of all HUD items.

show particles – Toggles display of particle geometry

show rigidbody – Toggles visibility of rigid bodies and their collision points.

show collision – Toggle display of collision primitives

show postprocess – Toggle display of post process effects

show staticmeshes – Toggle display of static mesh geometry

show skelmeshes – Toggles skeletal mesh rendering

show paths – Toggles display of paths or navigation meshes

show volumes – Toggles display of volumes

show depthoffield – Toggles the depth of field

show fog – Toggles rendering of fog

viewmode unlit – Renders scene with flat shading, i.e., no lighting

viewmode wireframe – Renders scene in a wireframe view

viewmode brushwireframe – Renders scene in a wireframe view showing brush edges

viewmode lightingonly – Renders scene using only the lighting information on the geometry

viewmode lightcomplexity – Renders scene using a special shader that displays the

complexity of the lighting on (number of dynamic lights affecting) each surface using specific colors to denote the number of lights

viewmode texturedensity – Renders scene using a special shader that displays the density of texels for the diffuse channel on each surface using specific colors to indicate the density

viewmode shadercomplexity – Renders scene using a special shader that displays the complexity of the material being used by each surface using specific colors to denote ranges of shader instructions

viewmode litlightmapdensity – Renders scene fully lit using a special shader that displays the density of texels for the lightmap on each surface.

viewmode – Returns render mode to normal

SCALE SET bAllowPostProcessing false – Disables all post processing effects e.g. depth of field, motion blur, etc.

SCALE SET bAllowPostProcessing true – Enables all post processing effects

listconsoleevents – Displays a list of all console events on the HUD

Notes

Using the command enablecheats will not disable achievements.

Console commands are not case sensitive.

Cheats will disable upon death or loading, you will have to type enablecheats again to start using the cheat commands again.

On older versions of the game, completing a time rift after collecting all the roulette items can cause the game to softlock, however you can escape this by exiting to the hub via the pause menu.

On older versions of the game, please use the “openoldmenu” command at your own risk. Because the menu options are blank, it’s near impossible to tell what they do and you are ultimately responsible if anything goes wrong.

Using the command enablecheats in the new deathwish mode will not work. You will take damage and a cheeky message appears where console command messages usually appear.
