[CRITICAL] Using Dynamic Team Emotes activates EVERY SINGLE DEVICE for the players who changed teams.

Summary

When having many devices on the map, and enabling the Dynamic Team emotes enabled, having two players decide to team up with one another will activate every device on the player and ignore the device’s preferences.

@Flak If Epic Games are able to play Private codes from everyone, here is a private code with the setting enabled. 2654-2993-9550

Can also confirm that I’ve experienced this bug and it has caused me to turn off dynamic teams for maps where I really wanted to have them enabled.
Just wanted to clarify for the title that it does not activate every device but rather all camera/controller related devices.

Thanks, both. I’ll pass the new info along.

It also activate all trackers, which is very critical! It ignores the settings of Trackers.

@Mineblo It is very important that it is known it also activates trackers.

UPDATE!
On testing, if a VFX Device is set to “Attach To Player” using a dynamic team emote will also force the VFX onto the players that emoted.

Could be nice if that were a setting, but also noted that this bug seems to relate to anything that attaches to players.
