About

GiveExpToTarget grants XP directly to the player your crosshair is aimed at. Use it to reward progress, compensate for lost levels, or test leveling mechanics without grinding.

The command takes three arguments: the amount of XP to grant, whether to attribute it as coming from the tribe (affects tribe log display), and whether tribe members share in the award. Set the second and third arguments to true or false as needed for your intent. If you want XP to count toward tribe progression and show in tribe records, use true for both flags; if you want solo XP with no tribe visibility, use false for both.
