Hello,

I’m trying to call a function on an Actor via console command.

This works fine whenever I call a function that takes int, float, bool, string or void  
e.g.

```auto
ke someactorname SetActorHiddenInGame 1

```

but I’m struggling with functions that take a struct.  
For example, [SetActorScale3D](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/GameFramework/AActor/SetActorScale3D/) takes FVector as parameter and whenever I try to call it, the parameter never gets recognized.  
e.g.

```auto
ke someactorname SetActorScale3D 10 10 10

```

gives me error about **missing parenthesis** :

(I also tried multiple other variations as you can see)

Anyone knows the answer?

Sorry, if I’ve used bad/misleading category for this post. I was unable to find any better one.

Thanks @CrazyMage

`(X=1,Y=1,Z=1)` indeed works

not sure how I missed the post that you linked in the first place
