Command

Runs an engine command. There's no equivalent to a developer console as far as I can tell, so I have no idea why this was done this way instead of defining a function for each one of these commands.

This function is not officially documented.

Arguments

1. string: Command to execute
2. vararg: Parameters (depends on command)

Return values

None.

Commands

Many of these commands will not work if run from an unprivileged script.
