Mobile players with touch input cannot demolish the Rocket Racing car

Summary

Mobile players with touch input cannot demolish the Rocket Racing car (Device_DelMarVehicleSpawner) as it is lacking a dedicated button. Controller and keyboard players can demolish the car with a keybind, while mobile players cannot perform such action.

This bug report is similar but not the same as FORT-869118. Players with touch input should have two extra buttons, one for exiting the car and one for demolishing it.

I was confused in my earlier comment.

On mobile the RR (rocket racing) mobile HUD for the RR vehicle in creative/UEFN is different than the RR HUD in the normal RR game mode. This is intentional because in some creative/UEFN maps the player can exit the vehicle. (I wish normal RR used the Creative/UEFN HUD version).

However, multiple functions are missing from the mobile Creative/UEFN HUD when compared to the normal mobile RR game mode. The functions are: Vehicle Reset (OP called it “demolish”), Reverse Camera, Air Roll, joystick, or a way to look around.

There needs to be a button for Vehicle Reset, Reverse Camera, and Air Roll; and the normal BR joystick needs to show as an option instead of the D-Pad controls (in normal RR you can choose between D-Pad or joystick in settings). To implement looking around do NOT add a button, just enable the right side of the screen to be dragged to look around, like normal BR. The right side of the screen is not used at all, but still disabled for some reason.

Replicate:

  1. Start Fortnite Mobile.
  2. Start a creative match.
  3. Once in your island, click the hamburger menu button, and open the “HUD Layout Tool”.
  4. Change the HUD mode you are viewing from “Combat” to “RR Vehicle”.
  5. In the bottom buttons bar look for a button for “Vehicle Reset”, “Reverse Camera”, and “Air Roll”.
  6. Now look for a joystick to control vehicle movement. You will notice there are only arrow keys.
  7. Exit the HUD Layout Tool.
  8. Open the map, go to the creative content tab, click devices, and search for the RR Vehicle Spawner.
  9. Place the RR Vehicle Spawner in your island.
  10. Enter the RR vehicle.
  11. Try to look around using the right side of your screen with your fingers.
  12. Now connect a Bluetooth controller and try all of these functions using controller input.

Please ask if you are confused.

FORT-871011 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 36.20.

Thanks for the detail here folks!

Was this pushed back to v36.30?

It was not fixed in v36.20.

Getting someone to check into this.

Actually it looks like all platforms could be affected.

I can’t do it on the Switch 2 and even on PC anymore.

Thank you so much Velocity <3

Please remember, that for this particular ticket, there was no ui button on mobile platforms. The fact that the demolish feature does not work on other platforms is separate issue.
