About

SpawnDino places a single creature in the world relative to your position. It requires the creature's full blueprint path, spawn distance in front of you, horizontal and vertical offsets, and the level to assign.

Use this to quickly test creature behavior, spawn high-level alphas for testing, or populate a specific area without walking to a spawn point. Positive Y offsets place the creature to your right; positive Z offsets place it above you. The spawned creature arrives tamed and is immediately under your control.
