SDF Command

Here you can find all information about the SDF command. You can see how to use it, what parameters to add, what the command does and use our command generator to create a ready to use command for ARK: Survival Ascendend or ARK: Survival Evolved.

Command Breakdown

Spawn a creature of the specified type in front of the player character. For tames, it is necessary to put the creature in and out of a cryopod after spawning to get the correct stat values. The NamePart has to be unique enough to specify the desired creature. E.g. "mega" is part of a lot of creature Entity IDs and is not suitable to specify what you want, but "Griff" is significant enough to address a Griffin. For a list of all Entity IDs see Creature IDs. See also GMSummon, Summon, pawnDino, SDFRide

Arguments:

  • NamePart (String): Significant part of a creature's Entity ID (without _C)
  • Tamed (Boolean): True or 1: tamed, false or 0: wild
  • level (Float): Give creature a specific level, set to 0 for random
  • ASA: bLoadIfUnloaded (Boolean): Typically ASA does not load or keep around complete creature data in memory, unless the creature (or a variant) exists in the world. This option forces the game to load the creature into memory if it hasn't been already (however, it is possible the creature will not be unloaded later). Realistically, for an average player this should always be 1.
