### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Devices ### Summary So I’ve been having some issues with explosive devices for months, I always thought it had to do with the reset function and how fast it resetted, but during some trouble shooting today, we found the issue. I have a explosive device on my 1v1 build fight map, We tried exploding it and resetting it, it worked sometimes 5 times, sometimes 20, sometimes 2, which was a bit wierd. Then we made the explosive device visible and after a few tries we found that when we built a player structure on it, after it explodes, it drops down. When we lowered it to the ground and built trough it, it didnt drop down, so it seems dependend on the position of the explosive device. When we moved it back up a bit again, it fell down after built trough it again. ### Steps to Reproduce add a explosive device, make collission in-game OFF. Build player structures trough it, and explode it, and reset it “on explode”. Depending on the position, it just falls down and disappears. Cant attach video here, but can be send upon request. ### Expected Result When building player structures on it, after it explodes/resets, it should just fall down and dissapear. ### Observed Result Same as above, but it seems a bit inconsistent when it happens, since we tried different locations for it. ### Platform(s) PC ---

This was reported in Feb according to the date on his original post. This post didn’t even get an acknowledgement or anything. This is the issue with this forum. I’ve also reported loads of things and no acknowledgement . Epic need to invest in a better debug strategy as its only getting worse. ---

After about an hour of pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my explosive device was only working once, I came across this post. This is exactly what I am experiencing. How do we get Epic to address this? This is a serious problem for my map. ---

Thanks for this. I was able to accomplish a workaround using the TeleportTo function directly on the device. ---

My tip for you is to move the explosives where people cant build on them. 🙂 ---
