About
Creative mode removes typical survival restrictions: the player can place structures without resources, spawn items freely, and ignore weight limits. Use this command to hand off admin-level building capability to a trusted player on your server.
Supply the target player's UE4 ID as the argument. If you need to find a player's ID, use ListPlayers first. The player remains in creative mode until you remove it with a corresponding command or they rejoin the server (depending on your configuration).
