Summary
In my game, I have a timer device that gets teleported in and out above a loot chest in my game. The system I have for this timer is when it is counting down for the loot chest, it stays above ground and is visible to the player. When the timer hits 0, it goes under ground, out of the player’s sight, and is replaced with an “OPEN” sign. Additionally, when the player intially gets this upgrade, there is a tutorial sequence in which the timer is teleported up, counts down for 10 seconds, then retreats back under ground.
Given this system, when a player intially buys this upgrade, there is no issue. However if someone had already purchased the chest and left and rejoined the game, uponing reclaiming a base the timer would not teleport to its above ground position, instead remaining in its underground position. However, this is only visible for the player that claimed the base. To any other player, the timer would be in its correct above ground position. Additionally, if a player claims a base with a crate timer, leaves the game, and joins back, they will see the crate timers for their base not being teleported out of the map. However, once again, to any other player it would be invisible, as it would’ve been teleported to its correct under ground position.

Additional Notes
