Can I have a timer before first round starts?

Hi, for my 1v1 map, I would like to add a room where players can choose their loadouts and options like in creative 1.0, not in the hud, for now. So the problem is they can only choose the options after the game starts, not in the pregame lobby. How can I let them pick their options before the game starts? I have 16 spawn pads in the options room, when they choose a team they get a different class and and team spawn pads. Then all the players with no class spectate.

Is there an easy way to do this in Verse by triggering the game start manually or something? Otherwise there are some very complex methods I could use with devices or having a longer round start time, but I would like to keep the map as simple and logical as possible.

Thanks!

I would have them stand on a particular spot with a trigger that verse listens to and then sets off a timer when all the triggers are triggered maybe?

I don’t think this is possible right now since the round device doesn’t have a begin event that you can trigger later once the players chose loadout and even if they added that it wouldn’t matter since Fortnite’s save inventory/class between round system is broken and everything else is currently round scoped meaning no data that is changed after game starts will be saved from round to round. I would recommend making it so the players can chose their loadouts at the start of each round or not using rounds at all but if you need a round system you can use verse to implement your own custom round system but its a lot of work.
