im trying to get A vfx device to follow the player, however it disappears when the player is hidden. i want the vfx to be visible on the player while the player is hidden.

Can you show your code ? The VFX should not disable since it shouldn’t know that it’s actually attached to a player, you’re only changing its position right ?

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Fortnite.com/Characters }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }

invisible := class(creative_device):

@editable
cond_btn: conditional_button_device = conditional_button_device{}

@editable
Vfx: vfx_creator_device = vfx_creator_device{}

@editable
mutator: mutator_zone_device = mutator_zone_device{}

HoldingEvent( Agent : agent) : void =
    if(FortCharacter := Agent.GetFortCharacter[]):
        if(cond_btn.IsHoldingItem[Agent]):
            
            FortCharacter.Hide()
        
        else:
            FortCharacter.Show()       
OnBegin<override>()<suspends>: void =
        loop:
            mutator.Enable()
            mutator.AgentEntersEvent.Subscribe(HoldingEvent)
            Sleep(0.1)
            mutator.Disable()
            Sleep(0.1)

Use a blueprint, hide it, have that follow the player and attach the vfx to that.

i have no idea how to do any of that

Here’s a blueprint being moved by verse:

Here’s a tutorial to have something look at a player with verse, you just need to modify the translation and not just rotation:

I’ll do a tutorial on something following a player soon… it’s on the list.
