{{Syntax|developer <value>}}


{{Syntax|<code>developer <value></code>}}
Valid values are:
*0: No debugging information (standard behavior)
*1: Standard debugging information:
::* console messages appear in the top-left of the player's HUD (amount of lines shown adjustable by {{cmd|contimes}} cvar)
::* execution of [[:Category:Developer mode commands|certain commands]] like {{command|ent_text}} and {{command|npc_kill}} is allowed
::* [[VPhysics]] penetration errors are displayed in the [[Map_(level_design)|map]]
::* console logs {{command|exec}}-ed scripts
::* etc.
*2: More debugging information; console displays:
::* [[Inputs_and_Outputs|input/output]] events
::* errors and events in [[scripted_sequence|scripted sequences]]
::* loaded [[model|models]] during map load
::* entities transferred to next map when changing level
::* [[NPC|NPCs]] that aren't in [[squads]]
::* notification when orphaned [[Entity_Hierarchy_(parenting)|child entities]] are removed when parent entity no longer exist
::* etc.
*3: Same as 2, but with more console messages {{todo|Does this introduce any of the debugging stuff otherwise associated with 4?}}
*4: Highest(?) level of debugging information; bounding boxes can show up on objects with VPhysics errors, etc.


Valid values are:
<code>developer 4</code> adds additional on-screen info like where the clients crosshair is pointing (not in HL2/Source 2013, shows the crosshair of all the players in multiplayer) and shows hitboxes and boundboxes when collision anomalies or errors occur.
*0: turn debugging mode off (default)
*1: some debugging information
*2: verbose debugging information


Number one will enable developer messages to print to your console, number two will do the same, except now the messages will write to the top-right of your HUD.
