Teleport – Tutorial

How to teleport as admin to another location

map teleportMost of the people can’t get themselves teleportet to the location they wanted to go to. They always ended at 50 50 on the map. The Problem is, that you have to use the GPS coordinates, not that on you are getting from the ingame map! The Site http://jdimensional.com/ark-map/ has a map helping you to get these GPS coordinates. By clicking on the map you will get the complete command on the left side. Use this command by opening the admin console (Tab).

Short Version

  1. Open the Console by pressing Tab
  2. Enable cheatmode (enablecheats YOURPASSWORD)
  3. Copy the coordinates from the location you want to teleport to from this Map (left side)
  4. Done!
