Examples
Here is an example of how to use tcl.
Disables collision so you can no-clip through the world.
Overview
Turns collision detection on or off for your character. With it off you pass straight through walls, floors, NPCs and terrain, and you can drift upward by looking up while moving, effectively flying. It is the go-to fix for getting unstuck from geometry or reaching areas you otherwise cannot. If you have an NPC or object selected in the console, this toggles that target's collision instead of yours, so deselect first for the usual behavior.
