About

GameCommand is a cheat-only console command that relays a text argument to the active gamemode's command handler. The exact behavior depends on your server's gamemode implementation and any mods or plugins you have installed.

Use this when you need to trigger gamemode-specific functionality that is not exposed through standard ARK commands. The command parameter accepts any text string; what that string does is entirely determined by your gamemode configuration. Always verify your gamemode documentation before attempting a GameCommand call, as invalid or malformed commands will simply be ignored or may produce an error in the logs.
