Description Component in Fortnite

The description_component is a Scene Graph component. It contains text data about the item, such as its name and description. Refer to Working with Entities and Components for how to add a component to your entity.

The component's text data can be used by other systems. Any kind of entity could utilize this component, but it is usually most helpful for player-facing information such as a character, an item, a vehicle, a location and more. The description_component has three editable fields that can be modified in the Prefab Editor and also with Verse:

  • Name: The name of the entity.
  • Description: A long description of the entity.
  • Short Description: A brief description of the entity.
