This is an absolutely absurd node to ban and remove and breaks 100’s of materials throughout my teams islands. Makes 0 sense.
Would like an answer if this is intentional and why it has been done before I have to go back to 100’s of shaders and edit them.
I can’t seem to find the post now but I think a staff member posted the solution to this. That is, open every affected material individually and hit save, watch the glitchy version control prompt flickering around for 10 seconds on each one.
(EDIT) this also seems to be happening to distance field related nodes (distance to nearest surface, dist field grad) and fractal 3D.
This needs to be addressed or fixed.
If it was taken out due to not working on different shading models moving forward the FEATURE LEVEL SWITCH needs to be explained to newer users rather than dummy proofing stuff and ruining people’s existing projects.
The node as been hidden from users though which is a problem. Doesn’t make any logical sense to exclude.
@Jeremy_Choud Thank you for your report! We would like to look into this further, would you be able to submit a bug report using the form available here? Fortnite Creative

This isn’t a bug and doesn’t require submitting a report, Epic has just removed and banned the use of append3.
To Replicate simply right click and look for the append3 node or try to launch a session in a project that has shaders using it.
