Fallout: New Vegas Hints

Teleporting Yourself Around

You can get your current X, Y, and Z (altitude) coordinates for the area you're in by using the "player.getpos" command, and you can change them with "player.setpos." For instance, use the following three commands to find out what your current coords are:

player.getpos x
player.getpos y
player.getpos z

To change your coords, replace "getpos" with "setpos," and specify a new coordinate as a second parameter. For instance, to set your Z coordinate to 13102.5, use the following command:

player.setpos z 13102.5

It's important to note that you can only adjust your position within the current cell (loaded region) that you're in. If you want to teleport yourself to a particular spot in another region, you'll have to not only know the exact XYZ coords for the spot you want, but you'll have to also know the cell's internal codename (for indoor cells) or two-number coordinates (for outdoor cells). Teleport yourself to the new cell using the COC command for indoor cells and the COE command for outdoor cells, then set your position using three "setpos" commands as shown above.

For example, let's say you're wanting to teleport yourself over next to Jacobstown in Zone 1. Checking the Zone 1 Locations list below, you'll see that Jacobstown is in outdoor cell -26,22 and the XYZ coords for a spot next to it are -102853.93, 94071.73, 11940.89. So what you'd do is go to any outdoor area (type coc goodsprings if you're indoors and want to get outdoors fast), then enter the following four commands in order, pressing ~ to reopen the console after entering the first command.

coe -26,22
player.setpos x -102853.93
player.setpos y 94071.73
player.setpos z 11940.89

To shortcut that, you could type "prid player" (w/o quotes) after the COE command, and then leave off the "player." from the "setpos" commands. Also, you can often use the COE command and then go the rest of the way on foot, since it's usually a very short trip once you're in the right cell. (Note that you may sometimes need to use TCL to get out of the spot that the COE command sticks you in.)
NOTE: There's also a special "movetoqt" command that will teleport you straight to the next "target" area of the currently active quest. If there's more than one target, you can include a number parameter, as in: movetoqt 1 and movetoqt 2.
