Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Metal Window class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Metal Window by its class PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Why isn't my Metal Window spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

What is the class name for the Metal Window?

The class name for the Metal Window is PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

Which game is the Metal Window from?

The Metal Window is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

Is the Metal Window spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Metal Window's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.

What is the blueprint path for the Metal Window?

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Metal Window?

In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Metal Window spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Metal Window?

Both spawn the Metal Window. gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 179 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

When was the Metal Window data last updated?

The Metal Window entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

How do I give the Metal Window to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 179 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 179 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Metal Window during events and giveaways.

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

What's the difference between the Metal Window GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow.PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Metal Window.

How do I spawn the Metal Window as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalWindow 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).
