What's the difference between the Pump-Action Shotgun GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun.PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Pump-Action Shotgun.

What do the numbers in the Pump-Action Shotgun spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun 1 0 0, the code identifies the Pump-Action Shotgun, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Pump-Action Shotgun.

What is the Pump-Action Shotgun class used for in mods or spawn tools?

How do I spawn the Pump-Action Shotgun as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Pump-Action Shotgun?

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

Is the Pump-Action Shotgun blueprint path case-sensitive?

Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun.PrimalItem_WeaponMachinedShotgun'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
