Fortnite 37.20 Ecosystem Updates

Fortnite v37.20 introduces the Roly Poly Spawner device, the Hive Stash Chest, and new prefabs and galleries from the O.X.R. Base and The Hive. This update also adds three new Debug Command menu options, new tutorials, and the ability to subscribe to input action events and mapping contexts directly through Verse.

New Experimental Character Inputs!

You can now subscribe to input action events and mapping contexts directly through Verse. The following character input actions are supported:

• Jump
• Crouch
• Shoot (Weapon Primary)
• Target (Weapon Secondary)
• Sprint

The inputs are currently Experimental, but over time, more functionality will be added to this list of input actions. We want to provide a clean and clear way to use the various controls available in UEFN.

My First Island Feature Example!

Get started in My First Island with this new feature example! See how the carnival shooting gallery was set up, including the custom Verse device code to earn points for shooting the good targets, and detracting points for shooting the bad targets — –who wants to hit a cute bear?

This template showcases the full gameplay example set up in the Build Your First Island documentation tutorial series, and even adds a little more, using a HUD Message device to show the player score.
