Hey everyone!
We’re excited to announce that the Fortnite Patchwork modular toolset for Creative and UEFN is being introduced in the Fortnite Ecosystem v27.00 update! You can use these devices to make music centric games, build dynamic soundtracks and much more!
There is online documentation to help you get started, as well as islands for you to explore that provide walk-throughs for the tools. Be sure to check out the Intellectual Property (IP) and DMCA Guidelines for Fortnite Island Creators blog at Intellectual Property (IP) and DMCA Guidelines for Fortnite Island Creators which explain intellectual property and responsible content creation.
The v27.00 update also delivers new weapons and prefabs, Creator Portal updates, lesson plans in UEFN and even some new templates. We’re excited for you to jump in and start playing with the new tools.
For all of the deets, head over to the blog and EDC!

KNOWN ISSUES:
Print Function Now Overloaded
If you see the error, “Referencing an overloaded function without immediately calling it is not yet implemented”, you can fix this by adding arguments for the Print function, which must now be defined.
This may look like:
Print("Message Goes Here")Print("MessageGoesHere", ?Duration:= 5.0, ?Color:= NamedColors.Aqua)
some_player:= class():
PrintTheMessage():void=
Print("ThisWillWork")
The following will not compile:
SomeFunction():void=
Print
SomeFunction():void=
Print()
Print()Print
