Creative Devices 101

Welcome to Verse Device Communication! In this learning path, you'll discover how to make Fortnite Creative devices talk to each other using Verse code. You'll learn to listen for player actions like button presses, run code when events happen, and chain devices together to build amazing game logic—all the skills you need to create interactive islands that respond to what players do.

Reading level:

What you'll be able to do

  • Subscribe to device events and write handler functions that respond when players interact with buttons
  • Understand how events, listeners, and handlers work in game development
  • Trigger devices from Verse code and pass information between devices using channels
  • Build connected game logic that chains multiple devices together into playable challenges
