About

SetTargetDinoColor recolors one region of a creature you have targeted in the viewport. Dinosaurs and most creatures have multiple color regions (typically 0, 5); this command changes only the region you specify to the color ID you provide.

Target the creature by looking at it, then run the command with the region number and color ID. The change applies immediately. Use this to customize the appearance of a tamed dino without affecting other regions, or to match specific color schemes across your breeding population.

Region numbering and available color IDs vary by creature type. Experiment to find which regions correspond to body parts (body, head, legs, saddle, etc.) on your target species.
