CBOT[]
There are hidden commands in CBOT that are not even highlighted in the editor. They are considered cheating, so do not use them for "legal" programs. It should be fine to use them for level creation though if there is no other way.
Numbers mean order of parameters.
- produce Immediately creates an object
- ipf Sets the number of instructions per frame, 1: the number, default is 100
- delete Damages the object, 1: object's ID, 2: magnifyDamage multiplier, without 2 the object explodes

- setresearchenable Sets researches bitmask, 1: new bitmask
- setresearchdone Sets done researches bitmask, 1: new bitmask
- getbuild Returns buildings bitmask

In Colobot: Gold Edition a quick cheat menu is available by pressing F10 by default.
These options do the following:
- Spawn object - Changes the menu to show options to create bots, objects, buildings, and the astronaut.
- Teleport - Teleports the selected object to the position of the cursor when clicked.
- Lightning - Cause lightning to strike at the position of the cursor when clicked.
- Display stats - Opens a window displaying miscellaneous game information.
- Underground resources - Shows resources underground, such as energy sources.
- Render goto() path - Draws the goto path used by bots and insects. This could drop your framerate drastically!
- Render crash spheres - Displays crash spheres around objects, showing where you will collide with something.
- Render dynamic lights - (?)
- Dump lights to log - (?)
Notes[]
- nolimit does not enabled godmode on Gold Edition, and instead allows you to fly a limitless height.
- nolimit will only break the height limit set by the level file. You will not be able to fly higher than the top of the map itself
- Unlocking all missions via cheats will not save them to your player slot. When the game is restarted all the unfinished ones will return to being hidden.
- Research done via cheats will reset on the specific level if the level is restarted, or restored using an old save. Using a save file that the research has been included on will prevent this from happening.
- The teleport option in the cheat menu will work with any selectable object, including Houston and the spaceship.
- The lightning created from the cheat menu will not cause damage or destroy anything struck by it, nor will it cause power captors to recharge power cells.
