==Console commands==
Console commands are executed, they don't inherently store values to be checked.
===Flags===
Console commands have flags assigned to them, which alter their usability. They are:
*buffered: wait until all screen has rendered before running command.
*hidden: not showing when running cmdlist.
*level: only runnable during levels.
*netvar: under multiplayer, synchronizes with the other players.
*notnet: forbidden in multiplayer (unless during a demo).
*server: if under multiplayer, only triggerable by the "server" player.
===Categories===
The commands can be grouped by their purpose:
*Control: general game control.
*Core: main console stuff, such as "echo" or "delay".
*I/O: input/output setup.
*Information: purely informative commands. Can be executed any time as they don't affect the game.
*Logging: special console logging commands.
*Menu: commands that show various menus, as well as a few commands with actual effects, which depend on the current menu state, and can't be run standalone.
*Testing: gameplay testing and "cheating" commands.
