About

GiveSlotItem adds an item to a player's hotbar at a specific slot without filling inventory first. This is useful when you need to hand a player a tool, weapon, or consumable and want it immediately accessible.

The command requires the full blueprint path of the item, the target slot number (0 through 9), and how many copies to add. If the slot already holds an item, the new item will stack if possible, or the command will fail if the slot is occupied by an incompatible item. This command is cheat-only and works from the console.
