About
KillPlayer removes a living player from the server by forcing their character to die. The command requires the target player's UE4 ID, which you can find using ListPlayers or by hovering over their name in the admin panel on supported platforms.
This is a cheat command, it can only be run by admins or console users with cheat privileges enabled. The killed player respawns normally at their bed or chosen spawn point; the command does not kick, ban, or jail them, and leaves no permanent record. Use it sparingly to avoid frustrating legitimate players.
