Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn multiple Metal Hatchframe at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Metal Hatchframe. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

How do I give the Metal Hatchframe to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 166 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 166 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Metal Hatchframe during events and giveaways.

What is the blueprint path for the Metal Hatchframe?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What do the numbers in the Metal Hatchframe spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor 1 0 0, the code identifies the Metal Hatchframe, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Metal Hatchframe.

How do I add the Metal Hatchframe to a starter kit or loadout?

Why isn't my Metal Hatchframe spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor), and all three trailing numbers are present.

How do I give myself the Metal Hatchframe with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeilingWithTrapdoor 1 0 0. That gives you one Metal Hatchframe instantly.
