About

SetPlayerPos moves your player character to any location on the map by coordinate. You must be in single-player, have cheats enabled, or be an admin on a multiplayer server to use it.

Enter three numbers for the X, Y, and Z axes. Coordinates are measured from the center of the map in the direction indicated; check your HUD or use another admin tool to find the target location's numbers first. The command executes immediately and doesn't require you to be standing in any particular spot.

This is faster than flying or walking for testing spawns, trapped players, or map knowledge, but it bypasses all movement and physics, you'll land exactly where you specify, even midair or inside geometry.
