About

RainCritters spawns a configurable number of sheep and dodos in a circular area centered on your position. The creatures drop from above, so the height parameter controls how far up they begin their fall.

This command is handy for stress-testing your server, filling a pen quickly for breeding experiments, or populating a custom arena. All three parameters are required: the amount you want, the radius in UE units within which they scatter, and the height in UE units above your current position where they appear.
