List of clientside commands which can be useful to develop your server or debug resource issues. Additional commands may be added by resources; these are just the standard FiveM commands.
These commands can be used with the client console, which you can open by pressing F8. You can also install additional tools if preferred, like VConsole2. This allows you to use the client console outside of the game.
User commands can be used in the client console by anyone, and don't require additional developer mode settings to be enabled or usable.
Connects to a server using a given IP address and port, or URL.
Example: connect 127.0.0.1:30120, connect "https://fivem.net/", connect cfx.re/join/y4lg95
Disconnects you from the server you are connected to and returns to the main menu.
Lists all configured bindings.
Binds an input to execute the specified command when pressed in-game.
Example: bind keyboard F9 "say hi; wait 250; say bye"
Equal to bind above, but will only run if the specified resource is in use on a server.
Unbinds all commands bound to the specified input.
Example: unbind keyboard F9
Enables or disables the client frames-per-second counter in the screen corner.
Usage: cl_drawfps <true|false>
Enables or disables showing performance metrics in the screen corner:
| Name (Units) | Description |

Sets the music volume for the game when connected to a network game.
Enable noise suppression to reduce background noise in voice chat.
Usage: voice_enableNoiseSuppression <true|false>
Default: true
The bitrate at which voice data is encoded. Higher bitrates will result in better quality, but also higher bandwidth usage.
Usage: voice_inBitrate <16000-128000>
Default: 48000

Whether to use in-process GPU for CEF. This might improve compatibility, but reduces NUI performance. Requires a restart when changed.
Usage: nui_useInProcessGpu <true|false>
Default: false
Limits the maximum resolution of vehicle textures. This can help reduce the incidence of physical memory running out, at the cost of visual quality.
Usage: str_maxVehicleTextureRes <int>
Default: 1024
Whether it is allowed to set an empty head drawable (drawable ID of 0).
Usage: allowEmptyHeadDrawable <true|false>
Default: false
Developer commands require the client to run in a developer mode, or they'll show an error like Access denied for command resmon or Command strdbg is disabled in production mode.
This type of developer mode can be enabled in a few ways:
+set moo 31337 argument,
for example, by adding it to a shortcut.The cmdlist command will list all the commands that are registered on the client (or server). It will also output the
variables that have been set by using the set, sets and seta commands.
Automatically scroll the dev console to the bottom when new log entries are added.
Usage: con_autoScroll <true|false>
Default: true
You can use the con_miniconChannels to display console messages on screen without needing to open the client console.
A channel name is the text inside the colored box next to a console message.
The message filter performs a full match of the pattern against the channel name, meaning it must match without any extra characters at the beginning or the end.
An asterisk (*) can be used to specify a partial channel name, as a placeholder for 0-or-more characters.
Multiple patterns can be combined using either a space or a plus sign (+).
Usage: con_miniconChannels <pattern>
Default: minicon:*
Example patterns:
*script:*banking and racing resources: script:banking script:racingShow the Windowed console dev tool.
Usage: con_winconsole <true|false>
Default: false
Enables some additional logging for developers. Typically not of use to a regular user.
Usage: developer <true|false>

Example: devgui_cmd "Launch/MP/Disconnect" "disconnect"
Adds a convar to the developer GUI shown above the console.
Example: devgui_convar "Game/SFX Volume" profile_sfxVolume
An alias for loadlevel, see the loadlevel command for details.
Lists all the aces (access control entries) in the console. It creates a list of the relationship between a principal and object and if they're allowed or not allowed to use it. Example output:
builtin.everyone -> command.freecam = ALLOW
group.admin -> command.testbed = DENY
<rest of the aces...>
Lists all the principals in the system, it will print out a list of which principals are inherited by others. Example output:
identifier.steam:110000111111111 <- group.admin
identifier.steam:110000111111112 <- group.moderator
<child> <- <parent>
On the left is the child node that belongs to the parent node on the right side.
Loads a local resource from usermaps:/resources/[name] in a single-player game. Running this command will stop any existing open game (including story-mode) and will start a new single player environment from the game's prologue mission.
In order for this to work, you will need to create a usermaps\resources\[resource-name] directory from your FiveM main folder, where [resource-name] can be hello-world, i.e. path\to\fivem\FiveM.app\usermaps\resources\hello-world.
You will also need an fxmanifest.lua file for the resource to work.
Restarts the localGame resource.
Allows you to load in TXDs and drawables via a graphical interface.
Usage: modelviewer <true|false>
Prints the owner of a network object ID.
Internal dev tool. Not of use to a regular user unless asked to run.
Internal dev tool. Not of use to a regular user unless asked to run.
Internal dev tool. Not of use to a regular user unless logging state-awareness data.

This command will show any incoming/outgoing event traffic. It shows the direction of the event (e.g. Server -> Client), the event name, and the size of the data sent (e.g. 2 bytes).
Usage: neteventlog <true|false>
The net_statsFile is a command to store the metrics of the network usage/behavior of the FiveM client.
It should keep track of metrics like ping, received packets and bytes, sent packets and bytes and the amount of routing packages. All this information will be stored in a file, using a CSV format.
Usage: net_statsFile <file_name>
Example: net_statsFile metrics.csv - this will create a CSV file called metrics.csv in your
FiveM application data directory.
The netgraph command will give you real time metrics about the FiveM client network usage.
The netgraph consists of a graph and basic information about the network:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ping | How long it takes to get a response from the server (round trip time) |
| in | How many packets we received per second. |
| in (bytes) | How many bytes we received per second. |
| out | How much packets we have sent per second. |
| out (bytes) | How much bytes we have sent per second. |
| rt | Routing packets received/sent. |
| rd | Routing packet delay. |
The graph represents how many packets have been sent or received of a certain kind.
Usage: netgraph <true|false>
Shows a list of current objects and nodes being synchronized over the network, when game state awareness is enabled.
Usage: netobjviewer <true|false>
Used when diagnosing discrepancies in written game state. Not of use to a regular user.
Opens the NUI dev tools window from the game process.
Used to save client-side logs from the game state awareness subsystem. These files get large, so this command should be used sparingly.
Example: onesync_logFile "1s_today.log"; wait 5000; onesync_logfile ""
Used for supporting internal tooling. Not of use to a regular user, and can not be toggled at runtime.
The resmon command will open the resource monitor. The resource monitor monitors the CPU usage and memory usage for each resource and shows this in a nice overview. Comes in handy when you encounter performance issues during gameplay.
Usage: resmon <true|false>
Saves cache data for a specified resource to the CitizenFX directory in AppData (%AppData%\CitizenFX). This is to be used for resources with a
significant amount of collision or map files, to speed up initial loading for players.
In order for players to load this file, it needs to be stored in the server's root folder of the resource you decided to save the map's cache for (not in a subdirectory) and added to your resource manifest.
In your resource manifest, fxmanifest.lua:
files {
'your_resource_name_cache_y.dat'
}
Make sure the cache file name matches the one you saved and copied to your root resource directory, don't copy/paste the example as is.
If you followed the steps correctly, you should see something like the following in your game log:
MainThrd/ loading CFX_PSEUDO_CACHE your_resource_name.
MainThrd/ done loading your_resource_name in data file mounter class CfxCacheMounter.
Usage: save_gta_cache <resource name>
The se_debug command enables verbose logging for security features (like the ACL).
Usage: se_debug <true|false>
Useful to see why some people do or don't have access to certain commands, example output:
TEST ACL [system.console -> command.resmon] ACE [system.console command] -> ALLOW
TEST ACL [system.console -> command.resmon] -> ALLOW

Set an archived variable on the client.
The variables are saved in %AppData%\CitizenFX\fivem.cfg and %AppData%\CitizenFX\redm.cfg.
Usage: seta <key> <value>
Example:
seta food escargot
food
"food" is "escargot"
default: ""
type: string
strdbg can be used to see what is currently being loaded in the GTA streamer, to potentially spot any issues with
streaming certain items, for example when the world stops loading.
Usage: strdbg <true|false>
strlist is a graphical interface showing the entries registered in the GTA streamer, and their current status.
Usage strlist <true|false>
Shows a listing of streaming memory used by specific streaming assets, as well as a global overview.
Usage: strmem <true|false>
The game_enableScaleformDebugLog command will show all debug log messages related to scaleform (which is used by the game's main UI components), there's different types that are displayed, but the most commonly shown type is HUD_TYPE.
