How to Build a Super Jump Air Vent

Do you love jumping high? Do you want to launch your friends into the sky?

We will build an Air Vent. It is like a trampoline made of wind.

You will make a device that shoots players up. It is fun and easy.

Let’s make your island fly!

What You'll Learn

• What an Air Vent is.
• How to place it in your island.
• How to change its power.
• How to point it in different directions.

How It Works

An Air Vent is a special device. It blows strong wind.

Think of it like a leaf blower. But it pushes people!

When you stand on it, the wind catches you.

You fly up into the air. It feels like magic.

You can also put it on a wall.

Then it pushes you sideways. It is like a rocket slide.

The Air Vent is a Device. This means you can change its settings.

You can make the wind weak or strong.

You can make it push up or push out.

It is a great way to make a fun obstacle course.

Let's Build It

We will build a simple jump pad.

Follow these steps in UEFN.

Step 1: Find the Device

Open your Creative inventory.

Search for Air Vent.

It looks like a metal grate on the floor.

Drag it into your island.

Place it on the ground.

Step 2: Change the Power

Click on the Air Vent.

Look at the Properties panel.

Find the Launch Force setting.

This controls how high you fly.

Try setting it to Medium.

Play your island.

Stand on the vent.

Do you fly up? Yes!

Step 3: Point the Wind

Now, let’s make it push sideways.

Place another Air Vent on a wall.

Turn it so it faces the room.

Find the Launch Direction setting.

Change it to Forward.

Now it pushes you forward.

It is like a super slide!

Verse Code Example

Here is a simple Verse script.

It makes an Air Vent launch players.

We use a Trigger. It detects when a player lands.

# This script makes an air vent launch players
# when they stand on it.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Sim }

# This is our Air Vent device
AirVent := AirVentDevice{}

# This function runs when the game starts
OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void= {
    # Wait for the game to start
    # Then wait for a player to land
    repeat {
        # Wait for a player to touch the vent
        # This is called an 'Event'
        AirVent.LandedEvent?.Invoke()
        
        # Launch the player up!
        # We set the force to 500 units
        AirVent.SetLaunchForce(500)
        
        # Wait a bit before launching again
        Wait(0.5)
    }
}

What does this code do?

1. It finds the Air Vent.
2. It waits for a player to land.
3. It sets the launch force.
4. It repeats this loop.

The repeat part is a Loop. It keeps doing the action.

It is like a heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump.

Try It Yourself

Can you make a double jump?

Try placing two Air Vents on top of each other.

Make the top one weaker.

Can you fly even higher?

Hint: Change the Launch Force on the second vent.

Try a number like 200.

See what happens!

Recap

• Air Vents blow wind to push players.
• You can change the power.
• You can change the direction.
• Verse helps automate the launching.

Have fun flying!
