    The wiki article on the console commands although straightforward on how to use the console does not provide a list of every console command. It is also very specific in some areas, while not specific in others. Is there anywhere that I may have missed where I canf ind all of the commands for the powder toy console!?!?!??!

    I think that it describes the console very well. And you know how many commands there are? There are about 160 elements (a few less I think), and each element adds more than 160 new commands... That's several thousand commands...

    It shows all the commands. You just have to put the elements/variables into the command.

    Old commands (one-liners) are mostly the same.
    You have the following in a one-liner code:
    !set
    This tells the system that you are imputing a basic command
    Variable
    This variable is one of the following:
    Type
    The particle's type.
    ctype
    The particles ctype (what it was before it melted, what it was before it froze, ect.)
    life
    The particle's life. Used for different things, like the reactive powers of DEUT.
    temp
    The particles temperature. Temps input in the console are in Kelvin, and 273.15 must be added to them to equal the number you want
    tmp
    Temporary value. Used for a variety of things.

    Then you have the:
    Targeted element/coordinates
    This is the particle(s) that the console command will target
    And finally there's the:
    value
    Id est, the number or other particle that the targeted element/particle will change to.

    A basic command is:
    !set type DMND METL
    This will turn all the DMND particles on the screen into METL particles.

    Otherwise you use Lua, which is for making more complex scripts.

    star400040:

    is there a command that sets like metling point or something?

    Using a Lua script there is. It takes only a single "if" statement.

    You can't change the property of elements with those commands..

    You can use a .lua file.
