cheat SetStatOnTarget <Stat> <Value>Arguments
- stat type: stat id
- The name of the stat you wish to set the value of.
- value type: number

About
SetStatOnTarget modifies individual stat values on whatever entity you have selected in your crosshair, a tamed creature, wild dinosaur, or another player. You specify the stat by its internal name and provide a numeric value.
For leveled stats (like Health or Melee Damage), the value is absolute: SetStatOnTarget Health 50 sets that creature's health stat to level 50. For multiplier stats, use a number between 1 and 100 to represent a percentage: SetStatOnTarget MeleeDamageMultiplier 150 sets melee damage to 150% of baseline.
This command requires cheats enabled and works in console on PC. It's useful for quickly adjusting a single creature's capabilities during testing or administration without respawning or re-taming.
