I take a lot of screenshots so something similar to the Fallout/Skyrim TFC1 command would be great, freezes game, frees the camera.
If possible -> the 'character' command meatplowz told us.
I actually had to look back and see what the topic was.....but I digress.
Adjusting the more simple values in game like camera, car behavior, and physics would be a good start as long as it could write the alterations and save them, like in Bethesda games.
Things to get direct location coords according to either player position or aiming crosshair.. as well as to force a given object (say a ped you highlighted over) to do an animation by name.
Along with that, ways to temporarily shut off the AI, or do some forcing of things that would be run in lua scripts...
And for that matter, loading lua scripts by name, and possibly forcing the game to reload xtbls and such (if it has to temporarily stop rendering/gameplay to do so, that's ok)
Sure the game would probably start going screwy at times if you tried to load things that didn't exist or shouldn't at that given moment, but the functionality.. the sort of tools that people will be using for future mods. If I make a mission and want to come up with a path for an AI car, I'd like to be able to figure where it's going from driving it myself ahead of time...

Actually, open the EXE in a hex editor and search for give_item. There's some (potentially leftover) strings near it that could be console commands. (I just looked out of curiosity.)
Because I'm a big old nerd, I'd like it to be hooked in with the C/Invoke or Alien lua libraries.
