Gameplay Commands

Commands that modify gameplay mechanics and player behavior

Gameplay commands provide tools for modifying game mechanics, enabling debug features, and controlling player actions.

Developer Mode

chimera_devmode

Enable devmode commands without blocking multiplayer access or requiring command line arguments.

enabled · boolean

true to enable devmode, false to disable

chimera_devmode true

Unlike Halo’s built-in devmode, Chimera’s implementation doesn’t prevent you from joining multiplayer servers.

Teleportation

chimera_teleport

Teleport yourself or another player to specific coordinates or to another player’s location.

target · number

Player index to teleport (optional, defaults to yourself)

destination · number | coordinates

Either a player index to teleport to, or X Y Z coordinates

chimera_teleport 5                    # Teleport yourself to player 5
chimera_teleport 100 50 25            # Teleport to coordinates X=100, Y=50, Z=25
chimera_teleport 2 100 50 25          # Teleport player 2 to coordinates
chimera_teleport 3 5                  # Teleport player 3 to player 5

Teleporting other players only works when you’re hosting a server.
