Hi everyone,
I’m building a UEFN island that uses Sidekick NPCs (via NPC Character Definitions with Fortnite Sidekick cosmetics). I need to display a portrait/thumbnail of each Sidekick in my custom HUD built with Verse (texture_block widgets).
The problem: I originally imported PNG images of each Sidekick and placed them in my project as textures. However, content validation blocks me with rule 1.7.1 (Epic IP), saying I must use assets available in UEFN rather than externally sourced Fortnite content.
I’ve tried:
- Importing edited images from Epic’s website → blocked by validation
- Searching the Fortnite Content Browser (with Show Engine Content enabled) for official Sidekick icon textures → couldn’t find any paths like CompanionIcons or NPCIcons
I’ve seen other published islands that display Sidekick portraits in their custom UI, so there must be an approved method.
My questions:
- Is there an official path in the Fortnite Content Browser where Sidekick portrait textures are exposed for use in custom UI?
- Is there a Verse API or workflow to get a portrait/icon from an npc_character_definition at runtime?
- What is the approved method to show Fortnite Sidekick images in a custom HUD without violating rule 1.7.1?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
