Additional Notes
All placers are set:
Allow Interact = true
Item Quantity = 1
Enabled at Game Start = true
Allow Respawn = true
Have you tried moving them away from that gun shelf to test? Sometimes collision of other objects can stop the interact.
Did some more digging. Seems to be some sort of trace/collision tolerance thing.
If I take the Item placers and move them away from the weapon rack, they function as expected.
This used to work as they were placed previously.
Just returned to say this is indeed the case.
Used to work as it was tho
FORT-950096 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.
After much experimentation, I found that this is indeed a collision issue. The interaction trace is being blocked by the collision of my weapon racks. My project has been unmodified for the past 3 months, so something must have changed on the engine/Fortnite side.
I changed my weapon rack collision to per poly, and I can place my weapons as desired.
What is odd is that during live edit, the interaction trace works. It’s just in game they do not.
