Spawn in a Birthday Cake
having trouble spawning in the birthday cake with admin commands. Can anyone help?

I enabled cheats, and pasted:
admincheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Halloween/PrimalItemStructure_BirthdayCake.PrimalItemStructure_BirthdayCake'" 1 0 0

Event items like that are only available during the event when you use the holiday-specific beta branch of the server and client. It's possible to go in and dig the blueprints out during an event, save them and then re-add them after it's over (I have the V-day Cake and a few others saved so our cluster can have them year-round if an admin spawns them in), but other than that, they aren't part of the base game.

If you open up your ARK install and go to: ..\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\PrimalEarth\CoreBlueprints\Items\Structures\Halloween you can see that there is no B-Day cake item to even spawn in (unless you manually backed it up and saved it during the event in 2016 and re-added it manually to both client and server installs).

might wanna remove the "cheat" at the start of the command and/or replace it with admincheat.
Or both.

I tried admincheat aswell, no result.
For clarification, this is being done my server.

Since you copy/pasted, check for an extra "space" in the command between admincheat and the next giveitem part of the command. Also check after the 1 0 0 make sure no extra space

I checked the spaces just now. I enter the command and nothing happens.
I also double checked that admincheats is enabled, and it is. (Admincheat fly works.)

Thanks for providing an answer. Appreciate it.
