I believe it's a rather well-balanced game and you may ruin you experience by using cheats. Think twice if you haven't played it yet. You've been warned.

All of these should work for the Sentinels too. However, this guide only covers the core game, so things like adding funds or spawning the new weapons are not included here.

Enabling the console in Silent Storm is quite easy:

Find autoexec.cfg file in your Silent Storm\cfg folder and edit it by adding the line:
The default key for the console is tilde (~). You may change it by editing input.cfg and adding the line (in the GAME BINDS section):
To scroll the console window use the 'PgUp' and 'PgDn' keys.

addmedalpoints # (Where # is any symbol). Adds the whole team 40mp each, followed by checking for rewards. The results are displayed on the console. The command is available only when the game is loaded.

autoplay A battle of sorts begins, both teams are computer controlled.

autoplay_templates # (map id) Sets a map for autoplay. The default multiplayer maps are 4412, 4413, 4414.

autoplay_units # (unit id) Setting the unit that teams will consist of in autoplay. E.g. autoplay_units 138 turns all the units to Allied PK operators. It is also possible to set multiple units: autoplay_units (63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 82, 87, 89, 90, 92) Teams will be made up of Axis and Allied soldiers mixed together. See below for unit id's.

bind Used for binding keys. In-depth explanation can be found here[natrixss.narod.ru](Russian)

cameramode # (PC, FPS or MAYA). PC - as usual in the game, MAYA - as usual in the editor, FPS - “eye view”.

camerapos Shows the current coordinates of the camera.

chapter # (3..28). Apparently uses a template variable to creat a blank zone.

cheat_allow_headshot # (1 or 0). If set to 0, prohibits hits to the head. The default is 1.

cheat_blood (1 or 0). 0 turns off blood and gore. The default is 1.

cheat_global_xcom # (1 or 0). The command changes the view of the global map. If the value is 1, the game is not functional, it is just for fun. It is recommended to issue the command before loading a saved game, i.e. in the main game menu. Otherwise, most likely, you will not see any changes.

cheat_golden_shot # (1 or 0). Each hit causes the person to “disintegrate”. Attention! This affects your fighters too. (godmode 1 won't save you)

cheat_heads_off # (1 or 0). Setting this value to 1 means that every hit is an instant kill headshot. (godmode 1 won't save you)

cheat_showall # (1 or 0). Setting this value to 1 shows all enemies and items on the map.

cheat_slomo # (1 or 0) Slow motion effect when someone dies.

cheat_zoneautocomplete # (1 or 0) Removes the need to do any missions (just click at a mission and once you are there you have all the files/hints etc.)

clear Clears the console.

console_writelog # (1 or 0). 1 turns on the logger which outputs the contents of the console to a text file named Console.txt

credits Shows the list of authors of the game. Similar to the main menu's.

game_noai # (1 or 0). Turns off the AI.

game_tbs_on_enemy_spot # If set to 1, when an enemy is detected, the game goes into turn mode.

getitem # (Where # is the item's id). Places the desired item in the selected soldier's inventory. See below.

global Starts a new campaign for the selected side. The identifier is taken from the GlobalMaps table. Currently 3 is Axis, 4 is Allies, 6 is DemoAxis, 1 and 5 are test. Unfortunately, you won't be able to play the demo-campaign:the clues from its first zone are missing, which leads to the end of the campaign in a few seconds after the start.

godmode # (1 or 0) If set to 1, your soldiers have nothing to fear. If no other cheats are used (see cheat_golden_shot and cheat_heads_off)

help Shows this list of commands, use PgUp/PgDn to scroll.

i_am_an_alien (1 or 0) Setting the value to 1 makes all enemies that you spot appear as if made of glass, it's a very 'Predator' like effect. It does not seem to change the textures of already spotted enemies.

load Usage: save filename. Loads the game with the specified name.

lua_showlog # (0 or 1) Outputs to the console the names and diagnostics of the scripts being executed.

mainmenu Shows the main menu of the game.

multiplayer Starts Hotseat multiplayer mode. Multiplayer map id's are: 4412, 4413, 4414.

open_zone # (Zone name) Reveals the zone on the campaign map. See the Lua section for the names.

save Usage: save filename. This can be used to save the game on any difficulty level.

setvar # (variable name = value) An alternative way to set global variables, which are, in fact, most of the commands described here. For example, the sequences setvar godmode = 1 and godmode 1 do the same thing. If the value of a variable is a string, it must be enclosed in quotes.

setxplevel # (Where # is the level you want) This sets all the active (and dead) characters to the level specified.

summonunit # (where # is an index value) Spawns the specified unit. See below.

template # (mapID unitID1 unitID2 unitIDn vs unitID1 unitID2 unitIDn) A "lite" version of the multiplayer command. Unlike the latter, the map ID and player teams are formed on the command line. If the unit IDs after "vs" are omitted, the formed team simply moves to the specified map. If all unit IDs are omitted, the team is formed from the debugging German "three Musketeers". The map ID mandatory. Example: template 4414 441 415 512 vs 407 219 220

Type getitem x in the console x being corresponding item id, e.g. getitem 350 spawns De Lisle (Delizl) carbine

Keep in mind that they will all disappear once you leave the map. At least I haven't found the way to keep them.

• Unlike basic console commands, Lua methods are case sensitive.
  
• The method call from the console must start with the @ symbol.
  
• Remember that these are functions, so do not forget to place parentheses around the parameters.

This binding places the id of the object pointed to by the mouse into the Lua variable ouc. This variable can then be used when calling Lua methods. In other words, you need this to tell the game which unit's stats you want to edit.

You may bind it using a console (see link above) or by simply editing the document in the game directory. Let's say you want to bind it to F2. Open input.cfg, find GAME BINDS section and type
Save it and test it ingame. Try putting your mouse cursor over a character and pressing the button. If you have done everything correctly, a message in the console should appear:
Object saved to variable ouc


Changes the difficulty of the current game to “Impossible”. For other difficulties you should use constants 1 and 2 respectively.

Disables AI of a unit previously placed with obj_under_cur in the variable ouc. To enable it back, the parameter should be set to true. In general, this is a handy way to deal with game “slips” on allies/opponents' turn.

Causes critical damage #5 to a unit.

Critical's table. The data may be incomplete and/or inaccurate as I collected it experimentally.


Self-explanatory.

Heals 10 VP.

Removes a unit from the map.

Automatically allocates available perk points within the specified unit's perks.

This one does not require any space for the perk. Moreover, it does not require a perk tree at all. See the table for perk id's.

Defines the control of the unit. The second parameter is the number of the player to whom the unit is transferred. 0 is you. The presence of other numbers depends on how many players are in the current game zone and is determined by the zone creator. For example, in random encounter 1 is the opponent. There is no clear fixation like “1 - axis; 2 - allies; 3 - neutral”. Usually this one is used after summonunit. Besides, when transferring a unit under the control of a machine, you can set its behavior, for example
@UnitSetFearLogic( ouc )
@UnitSetPanicLogic( ouc )
@UnitSetNormalLogic( ouc )

Set the sniper skill for a unit in ouc to 70.
Full list of what can be changed with this method:

• ST_MELEE
  
• ST_SHOOTING
  
• ST_THROWING
  
• ST_BURST
  
• ST_SNIPE
  
• ST_STEALTH
  
• ST_SPOT
  
• ST_MEDICINE
  
• ST_ENGINEERING
  
• ST_VP
  
• ST_AP
  
• ST_IC (evasion)
  
• ST_INTERRUPT
  
• ST_STR
  
• ST_DEX
  
• ST_INT
  
• ST_LEVEL

Another function can be used to set the unit level:
Sets the level of the unit to 4. Unlike UnitSetSkillMaxValue( ouc, ST_LEVEL, 4 ), this one will increase the values of attributes and skils, i.e. emulate giving the unit a big chunk of exp.

Kills all enemies on the map.
