About

GiveExpToPlayer grants a set amount of experience directly to a player without requiring them to perform an action. This is useful for compensating players after server downtime, testing leveling mechanics, or rewarding participation in events.

You need the player's UE4 ID, the experience amount, and two boolean flags. The "from tribe" flag determines whether the experience appears to originate from the tribe; the "prevent sharing" flag controls whether the tribe receives a portion of the experience as well. Set both to false to give a straightforward personal experience gain that also benefits the tribe, or true to bypass tribe mechanics entirely.
