Hey guys,
I have been able to add new items and structures no problem. However, when it comes to adding a new dinosaur to the game, I use the command “cheat summon NEWDINO_Character_BP_C” and nothing spawns.
So far, I have the following dino-files inside my mod folder: DinoEntry_NEWDINO, Dossier_NEWDINO, Zombie_Character_BP, as well as the level, game data and game mode.
My question: do I need any other dependent files in order to add another dinosaur? I just want the base files I need to create another dinosaur based off a Raptor.
Thanks in advance.
You need to add the DinoEntry into the Additional Dinos in your PrimalGameData. And also make sure you have matching tags inside the DinoEntry & Character BP. You should be able to spawn them after that
Thanks for your reply! No luck so far though ![:frowning: :frowning:](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=12)
I’ve added the record into the Additional Dinos section, and everything has matching tags.
Could there be anything preventing the dino from being cooked, as I don’t see the Character blueprint in the cooked mod folder?
Double check this tutorial that youve followed simliar steps HOWTO: Add new dinosaur variants - ARK: Survival Evolved - Unreal Engine Forums
Also going form your first post, you should be doing “cheat summon zombie_Character_BP_C” rather than “cheat summon NEWDINO_Character_BP_C” - and you also dont need the ‘cheat’ part if you are doing it in the PIE (not sure if it works with it or not)
Re-made the mod with that tutorial, and now it’s working perfectly.
Thanks! ![:smiley: :smiley:](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=12)
