How does the square spiral command work? having a syntax problem

so the new square spiral command added in a21 would be really useful "SquareSpiral console command that has the player traverse the world chunk by chunk in a square spiral in fly and godmode "

however i cant get it to work, i type in "sqs s" then starts and then it pauses, i cannot get it to un-pause, nor can i figure out the syntax to use the other parameters.
can any of you give me an example of what i would type in to get it to just go do the whole map?

"sqs" is the abbreviated command for "squarespiral" and "s" is for "start", that part works fine, but i cant figure out the rest of the commands to get it to do anything more then moving 1 time.

 
I'll be perfectly honest with you. 90% of the commands in the console are not intended for you to use at all. They are internal developer test commands. Half of them may not work properly on a non-dev build.

 
Thank you, that's probably it.

I Was just excited to try it when I saw it highlighted in the patch notes.

however if anyone ever does figure out or makes sqs work in public builds that would be super awesome/useful.

 
TBOMK that one is used by devs to circle trouble areas and with unity profiler working. it is not a public command and does nothing constructive unless you are in unity editor.

in case you dont know what tbomk is

to best of my knowledge

sqs s  - teleport to the starting position to begin work
sqs p - start spiral 
sqs r - stop spiral

Example of running a console command "SquareSpiral"
1. press F1
2. enter console command <dm>
3. press q (god mode)
4. enter console command <sqs s>. You will be teleported to the starting position
5. enter console command <sqs p>
6. enjoy the flight

when you get a satisfactory result, enter the command in the console <sqs r>
