Console commands allow users to modify the game’s settings, spawn items, or run functions that would otherwise be unavailable. You can use them in two different ways:
ACCESS THROUGH CONTROL PANEL
The first way to use commands is by accessing the Console through your Control Panel. You can type them directly into the Console.
If you would like to use commands from within your server, you will first need to set the player’s access level from the console. You can learn more in our article on How to Become an Admin on your Project Zomboid Server.
ACCESS THROUGH IN-GAME CHAT
Once you have been given permissions from the console, you can access commands from within a Project Zomboid server by entering the commands directly into your in-game chat. To access the chat, press T.
