<cat>Dev.Ref</cat> This is a list of all concommands and convars blacklisted from being ran or changed with <page>Global.RunConsoleCommand</page>, <page>game.ConsoleCommand</page> and <page>Player:ConCommand</page>. Server and clients can still run the commands normally from console. Certain console commands have been disabled for a variety of reasons, usually to prevent harm or annoyance to players, such as unbinding all their keys using `unbindall`. When you attempt to run <page>Global.RunConsoleCommand</page> with a blocked command, this error will be thrown in console: `RunConsoleCommand: Command is blocked! (<command name>)`. Running <page>Player:ConCommand</page> with a blocked command will throw red text in console: `ConCommand blocked! (<command name>)`. Running <page>game.ConsoleCommand</page> with a blocked command will throw red text in console: `game.ConsoleCommand blocked! (<command name>)`. <note> This list was ripped from Garry's Mod dynamic libraries. </note> | Name | Reason | |:-----|:-------| | `__screenshot_internal` | Now-removed command that in the past could create a screenshot without the client's consent⤶ | `_restart` | Blocked only client-side.
