Verse:

@editable
var TestItemSpawner : item_spawner_device = item_spawner_device{}

@editable
var TestProp : creative_prop = creative_prop{}

@editable
var TestButton : button_device = button_device{}

OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    TestButton.InteractedWithEvent.Subscribe(ButtonPressed)

    var CurrentPositionItemSpawner : vector3 = TestItemSpawner.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("Original TestItemSpawner X : {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.Z}")

    var CurrentPositionTestProp : vector3 = TestProp.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("Original TestProp X : {CurrentPositionTestProp.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionTestProp.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionTestProp.Z}")

    var CurrentPositionTestButton : vector3 = TestButton.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("Original TestButton X : {CurrentPositionTestButton.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionTestButton.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionTestButton.Z}")

    Sleep(2.0)

    var NewPosition : vector3 = vector3{X := 0.0, Y := 0.0, Z := 50.0}
    sync:
        TestProp.MoveTo(NewPosition,rotation{}, 0.5)
        TestButton.MoveTo(NewPosition,rotation{}, 0.5)
        TestItemSpawner.MoveTo(NewPosition,rotation{}, 0.5)


ButtonPressed(InPlayer : agent) : void =

    Print("Pressed Button!")

    var CurrentPositionItemSpawner : vector3 = TestItemSpawner.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("NEW TestItemSpawner X : {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionItemSpawner.Z}")

    var CurrentPositionTestProp : vector3 = TestProp.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("NEW TestProp X : {CurrentPositionTestProp.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionTestProp.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionTestProp.Z}")

    var CurrentPositionTestButton : vector3 = TestButton.GetTransform().Translation
    Print("NEW TestButton X : {CurrentPositionTestButton.X}, Y: {CurrentPositionTestButton.Y}, Z: {CurrentPositionTestButton.Z}")

    TestItemSpawner.SpawnItem()

Video Result:

From the logs, you can clearly see the Position of the item_spawner_device gets updated, yet the item spawns in the old location

I have the same issue. Initially I thought it was some async issue but it seems that it is a bug

do you have allow spawn if blocked enabled on the settings might help

FORT-1058887 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

I’m also having issues with Teleporting this device and spawning items after teleportation. They do sometimes spawn at the new location, but sometimes they don’t spawn at all. I haven’t been able to figure out what is going on so far.
