About

The Dino Spawner is a placeable item that generates a dinosaur at its location when triggered. Admins use it to quickly populate servers with creatures for testing, events, or controlled encounters without relying on natural spawn mechanics.

Spawn it into your inventory with its GFI code, then place it in the world and activate it to bring the dinosaur to life. This is faster than waiting for natural spawns and gives you precise control over creature placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn the Dino Spawner as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).
What items are related to the Dino Spawner?

Is the Dino Spawner blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base.PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
What do the numbers in the Dino Spawner spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base 1 0 0, the code identifies the Dino Spawner, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Dino Spawner.

What's the full blueprint path of the Dino Spawner?

Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Items/PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base.PrimalItem_DinoSpawner_Base'" 1 0 0.

What is the Dino Spawner class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Both point at the same Dino Spawner.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Dino Spawner?
