Fortnite Ecosystem v39.00 with Known Issues

Scene Events is still in Experimental

Due to an unexpected issue, Scene Events is still considered Experimental, even though the experimental tag in the API is removed. If you attempt to launch a Live Edit session with the API in use, the session will fail and you will receive a compile error. This includes any projects that worked previously to the 39.00 release using this API. A fix for this issue is targeted for an upcoming release.

Workaround: For projects that have advanced implementations with Scene Events, particularly with Custom Items, we recommend waiting for the fix to be implemented. Otherwise, you may want to remove the code from your project.

To properly remove Scene Events from your project, you need to remove references to the following:

  • scene_event

  • scene_event_participant

  • base_entity.SendUp

Additionally, any islands with Custom Items code that is overriding the SendUp function will also be unable to launch a session. You will need to remove this function in order to playtest.
