About

DoTame instantly tames any creature in your crosshair without requiring food, narcotics, or time. It works on wild creatures of any level and is useful for quickly populating a server, testing breeding setups, or recovering tames after an admin wipe.

Issue the command while aiming at the target creature. The tame will be assigned to you and inherit your current server rank and permissions. Note that it bypasses all stat calculation tied to the taming process, the creature's stats remain as they were wild.
