Syntax

Console syntax

cheat SpawnActor <Blueprint> <Spawn Distance> <Y Offset> <Z Offset>

Arguments

blueprint type: creature blueprint: The blueprint of the entity you wish to spawn.
spawn distance type: number: The distance ahead of your character the entity should spawned at.
y offset type: number: Distance to the right (positive numbers) or left (negative numbers) of your character you wish to spawn the entity.
z offset type: number: Distance above (positive numbers) or below (negative numbers) your character you wish to spawn the entity.

About

SpawnActor places an entity in the world using blueprint coordinates relative to where you are standing. The spawn distance is how far ahead of you it appears; Y offset controls left/right positioning (negative values go left, positive go right); Z offset controls vertical placement (negative values spawn below you, positive above).

This command is useful for quickly testing creature behavior, populating test areas, or spawning NPCs during server events. Unlike SummonTamed, which gives you a tamed creature, SpawnActor creates the entity in its default state, wild creatures will be hostile, and you will not own them.

All four parameters are required. Use the full blueprint path from the creature's class name, and enter offsets as decimal numbers.
