There are CryEngine console commands, and there are variables. The variables are associated with a value. The commands are actions. The variables accessed from the console are called CVars.[1]

  • quit This is an example of a command that is not associated with a value.
  • cl_fov This is an example of a command that is associated with a value. If no parameter is given, it will just output the current value.
  • cl_fov 80 By providing a parameter after the command, you set the value.
