About

SpawnActorSpread spawns a specified number of creatures across a radius centered on your position. Use it to quickly populate a region with wildlife, test pack behavior, or set up creature encounters without placing them one at a time.

Position the spawns relative to where you stand: spawn distance moves them forward, Y offset shifts them left or right, and Z offset raises or lowers them. The radius parameter spreads them out across an area; a radius of 0 clusters them tightly, while larger values scatter them over more ground.

Require cheats enabled and supply a valid creature blueprint. The command works from the console.
