Examples
Here is an example of how to use setgs.
Increases the minimum jump height game setting.
Overview
Modifies one of the engine's game settings by name, allowing deep tweaks such as jump height, carry-weight multipliers or fast-travel rules. You pass the setting name followed by the new value. Changing the wrong setting can destabilise the game, so only edit ones you understand, and note many reset on reload. A powerful but advanced tuning command.
