Syntax

Console syntax

cheat SpawnSetupDino <Blueprint Path> <Blueprint Path (Saddle)> <Saddle Quality> <Level> <Stats> <Spawn Distance> <Y Offset> <Z Offset>

Arguments

blueprint path type: creature blueprint: The blueprint path of the dinosaur you wish to spawn.
blueprint path (saddle) type: item blueprint: The blueprint path for the saddle to put on the spawned dinosaur. Specify just "" (two quotes) here if you don't want the dino to spawn with a saddle.
saddle quality type: number: A number for the quality of the saddle on the dino, specify 1 here if you aren't giving the dino a saddle.
level type: number: A number - the level of the dino you wish to spawn.
stats type: text: Specify "" (two quotes) here if you don't want to set the stats of the dinosaur. Otherwise, specify a comma separated list of stats and values in the following format: "Stat1=#,Stat2=#", replacing Stat1 and Stat2 with stat names and # with your desired stat value. For example "Stamina=5,Health=40" would set the stamina of the spawned dino to 5, and its health to 40. Stat IDs: * Health * Stamina * Torpidity * Oxygen * Food * Water * Temperature * Weight * MeleeDamageMultiplier * SpeedMultiplier * TemperatureFortitude * CraftingSpeedMultiplier
spawn distance type: number: A number - the amount of distance in front of your character the dino will be spawned (i.e. 500 = 500 in front of you).
y offset type: number: A number - the Y offset of the spawned dino. This is how far left/right the dino will be spawned (relative to you). Specify 0 to spawn directly in front of you. -100 would be 100 left, 100 would be 100 right.
z offset type: number: A number - the Z offset of the spawned dino. This is how far up/down the dino will be spawned (relative to you). Specify 0 to spawn at your current Z coordinate -10 would be 10 down, 10 would be 10 up.

About

SpawnSetupDino lets you materialize a tamed creature in front of you with full control over its level, individual stats, saddle, and exact placement. Unlike SpawnDino, which creates a wild creature, this command gives you a tamed dino ready to ride or use immediately.

You provide the creature's blueprint path, an optional saddle blueprint and its quality tier, the dino's level, and any stat overrides you want (Health, Stamina, Oxygen, Weight, MeleeDamageMultiplier, and others). The spawn distance pushes the dino forward from your position, while Y and Z offsets move it left/right and up/down. Use empty quotes ("") for the saddle path if you want the dino spawned without one, and pass the same syntax for stats if you want to keep the creature's default stat values.

This command is useful for setting up test dinos with specific stat distributions, quickly generating a mounted creature for travel, or populating an arena with preset combatants.
