Summoning Tamed Dinosaurs
If you want to summon a tamed dinosaur, you will need to change the code as follows:
“GMSummon [Dino ID][level]”
The highest possible level for a tamed creature is 150, so make sure to use that if you want to summon a powerful dinosaur. If you don’t include the dinosaur’s level in the code, a dinosaur of a random level will spawn near you.
