Syntax

Console syntax

ShowTutorial <Tutorial ID> <Force Display>

Arguments

tutorial id type: tutorial id: The tutorial ID (index) of the tutorial you wish to hide, either '0' (Blank) or '1' (Your first day).
force display type: boolean: Specify 'true' to show the tutorial even if you've completed/seen it before, 'false' to not.

About

ShowTutorial allows you to trigger a tutorial message on the server. The command accepts a tutorial ID (either 0 for Blank or 1 for Your first day) and a boolean flag to control whether the tutorial displays regardless of prior completion.

This is useful for testing tutorial behavior or refreshing players on early-game guidance. The force display parameter overrides the game's normal tracking of which tutorials a player has already seen, so setting it to 'true' will show the tutorial even if the player completed it previously.
