Can Phase Through Thin Ceilings When Exiting Prop Form with Prop-O-Matic

Summary

If the player turns into a prop then shoves themselves up against a low ceiling of a floor tile that is not very large on its Z axis scale, on breaking out of the prop form they’ll phase and glitch right through the floor. Very annoying for indoor prop hunts cause players can just escape the arena everywhere.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a blank grid island
  • I then placed a SM_FORT_Floors_Generic_BasicTile_C floor down at exactly a Z height of (Z=45.567025).
  • Set its scale to (X=1.000000,Y=1.000000,Z=0.100000) (to make it very flat)
  • Then place a Creative_Prop_Cup03_C down, i set its scale to (X=6.250000,Y=6.250000,Z=6.250000)
  • Then place an item spawner down with the Prop-O-Matic.
  • Start game
  • Turn into the placed down Cup prop.
  • Walk underneath the floor.
  • Cancel disguise
  • Observe

Expected Result

You are unable to cancel your disguise, there is not enough room for you to fit in the space as a Fortnite player so the game shouldn’t let you do so.

Observed Result

You will cancel your disguise and be standing on top of the floor. Thus essentially having glitched and phased through the ceiling.

Additional Notes

If the ceiling is not placed low enough to just be standing and cancel underneath it, then jumping and spam canceling while hitting your head also works, I just directed in the repro steps a perfect height and prop size in which jumping would not be necessary.

FORT-909999 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

It is a shame this bug is still happening 2 years later.

Hopefully it gets addressed soon.
