Some of these commands are not available until you have authenticated yourself with the enablecheats command.
Commands marked with Y in the cheat column need to be prefixed with admincheat if used on a multiplayer server. In single-player mode you neither need any cheat or admincheat before the command nor do you need to enable cheats.
Commands that target the creature / entity in your crosshairs are marked with "Target" in the target column, and commands that affect the current player are marked with "Self". These commands cannot be used in the remote console. Console commands are not case sensitive.
Boolean parameters can be specified as either the keywords "true" or "false" or the numbers 1 or 0 (or 1.0 / 0.0) respectively.
You can concatenate multiple commands in one line using a vertical bar |. For example: LeaveMeAlone | Fly

Cheat: Yes
Target: Self

Arguments:

|---|---|---|
BlueprintPathPart
|
String | significant part of the blueprint path |
Quantity
|
Integer[32] | Number of items to add |
Quality
|
Float | Quality of added items |
ForceBlueprint
|
Boolean | true or 1 to add the item's blueprint; false or 0 to add the item |
Description: Adds the specified item (or its blueprint) to the player's inventory in the specified quantity and with the specified quality.
This is a shortcut version for GiveItem. But instead of the complete blueprint path it is sufficient to specify only a significant part of it.
E.g. the blueprint path of the Tek ATV end in PrimalItemVHBuggy. You can use "vhbuggy" or "vhb" or "buggy" or "bugg" or "uggy" or... On the other hand "atv" will not work because it's the name of the item but not a part of the blueprint path.
For ambiguous parts you will maybe not get the item you want. Instead you get one that the search mechanism finds first. E.g. for Bug Repellant (PrimalItemConsumable_BugRepellant) you can't just say "bug" because this part is also included in "buggy". You will get the Tek ATV in this case. But "bugr" is specific enough to find definitely the Bug Repellant.
To specify items by their item number, use GiveItemNum.
To give items to another player, use GiveItemToPlayer.

cheat gfi bugr 10 0 0

If you select a player in the connected player's list, you can easily copy their UE4 player ID (a 10 digit number) into a command's parameters for commands that require a player ID. Supposedly you should also be able to copy their Int64 encoded Steam ID for commands that require it, but it seems to be broken at the moment. Use the ListPlayers command or grep the server's save files to get a player's Int64 encoded Steam ID.
