cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekShield 1 0 0About
The Tek Forcefield is a defensive structure that creates an energy barrier when powered. It blocks incoming projectiles and prevents creatures from passing through, making it useful for base perimeters and choke points.
Because it does not stack, you must spawn each unit individually or build them one at a time. Place it like any other structure; power it with element to activate the shield. Use the GFI code to hand out units to players or stage them during testing.
