Syntax

Console syntax

cheat GMSummon <Entity ID> <Creature Level>

Arguments

entity id type: entity id: The entity ID of the creature you wish to spawn, with quotation marks, e.g. "MegaRex_Character_BP_C"
creature level type: number: The level of the creature you wish to spawn. Because this level does not include the taming bonus, you will need to divide your desired level by 1.5 for the creature to have it. For the creature to spawn at level 15, you would enter 10 (because the 50% taming bonus is 5, and 10 + 5 is 15)

About

GMSummon spawns a single creature in front of your character as if it were tamed. Unlike Summon, it applies a taming bonus to the level you specify, so the creature's final level will be 1.5× your input.

To get a creature at your desired final level, divide by 1.5 and round down. For example, to spawn a level 100 creature, enter 66 (since 66 × 1.5 = 99). The entity ID must be in quotes and use the full blueprint class name, such as "MegaRex_Character_BP_C".

This command is useful for testing tamed dino behavior, populating arenas, or handing out powerful mounts without going through the breeding or taming process.
