### Please select what you are reporting on: Verse ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Verse ### Summary This is very simple to explain and reproduce. The problem is that if you try to use Respawn in verse after a player is eliminated then their jump height will be reduced. ### Steps to Reproduce Create a new project using the blank template that has 2 spawners. Put in the following code in a GameManager file: using { /Fortnite.com/FortPlayerUtilities } using { /Fortnite.com/Devices } using { /Fortnite.com/Game } using { /Fortnite.com/Characters } using { /Verse.org/Simulation } using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics } GameManager := class(creative\_device): ``` @editable P1Spawner:player_spawner_device = player_spawner_device{} @editable P2Spawner:player_spawner_device = player_spawner_device{} OnBegin():void= P1Spawner.SpawnedEvent.Subscribe(OnSpawn) OnSpawn(Agent:agent):void= if(FC:fort_character = Agent.GetFortCharacter[]): FC.EliminatedEvent().Subscribe(OnEliminated) OnEliminated(EliminationRes:elimination_result):void= ElimChar:=EliminationRes.EliminatedCharacter if(Agent:=ElimChar.GetAgent[]): spawn: RespawnPlayer(Agent) RespawnPlayer(Agent:agent):void= Sleep(2.0) #this timing does not matter, set it to 0.5 if you want Print("Respawn player") Agent.Respawn(P1Spawner.GetTransform().Translation, P1Spawner.GetTransform().Rotation) ``` Then simply start the game, jump around, build a wall if you need a height “stick” to compare to. Then respawn and try the same jump. You’ll see the jump height is reduced. ### Expected Result Jump height should not change ### Observed Result Jump height is reduced by about 10% I think ### Platform(s) UEFN, PC ---

It is also important to note that this only applies when the movement in island settings is set to current br, and it occurs after the 2nd respawn. If set to Ch 4 movement, then this does not occur, but a new bug occurs. On Ch 4 movement, when strafing in reverse, you will experience hitching. ---

When you’re able to, can you share media of the height difference you’re seeing? Thanks!

This is still an issue with 29.30 with Chapter 5 movement. Any update on this bug by chance? ---

This is still an issue as of today. Impossible to jump until the player manually choose respawn ---

Is there any way to respawn a player from Verse without utilizing this function? ---

Ok guys this bug occurs when you do ```verse Char.Damage(10000.0) Agent.Respawn(Transform.Translation, Transform.Rotation) ``` The workaround is: ```verse Char.Damage(10000.0) spawn: Respawn(Agent) Respawn(Agent:agent):void= Sleep(0.1) Agent.Respawn(Transform.Translation, Transform.Rotation) ```
