In ARK: Survival Evolved, one of the exciting aspects of gameplay is the ability to manipulate various elements of the game, including player visibility. If you’re looking to make yourself or another player invisible, you can use commands through the console. Below is a guide on how to do this effectively.
What You Need
Before we dive into the commands, ensure you have the following:
- Admin Access: You need to have administrative privileges on the server where you want to use these commands.
- Console Access: You can open the console by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard (or the corresponding key on your console).
The Command
To make a player invisible, you'll want to use the following command:
admincheat invisible <PlayerID>
Parameters
- PlayerID: This is the ID of the player you want to make invisible. If you're targeting yourself, you can omit this part.
Example
To make yourself invisible, simply type:
admincheat invisible
If you want to make another player invisible, you will need to find their Player ID first, then input it as follows:
admincheat invisible 123456
Note: Replace 123456 with the actual Player ID.
Making Invisibility Temporary
In some cases, you might want the invisibility to last only for a certain period. However, the basic command does not have a built-in timer. You can manually manage this by creating a new command to revert invisibility after a certain time.
Reverting Invisibility
To revert the invisibility and make the player visible again, use the command:
admincheat un-invisible <PlayerID>
Or simply for yourself:
admincheat un-invisible
Tips and Warnings
- Use with Caution: Making players invisible can disrupt gameplay, especially on PvP servers. Always ensure you have permission from other players before using these commands.
- Testing: If you’re experimenting with commands, consider doing so on a private server to avoid affecting others' experiences.
- Bug Check: Sometimes, invisibility can lead to unexpected bugs. If a player cannot be seen by others but can still interact, it may require a server restart or additional commands to reset states.
Conclusion
Using the invisible command in ARK: Survival Evolved can add a new dimension to your gameplay, whether for stealth tactics, role-playing, or simply having fun with friends. Just remember to always respect other players' experiences and use your admin powers wisely! Happy gaming!
