See Create Your Own Device Using Verse for how to create a verse device.

A Verse-authored creative device that can be placed in a level

Football_movement := class(creative_device):

ball : creative_prop = creative_prop{}
Magnitude(vector:vector3):float=
    return Sqrt(Pow(vector.X, 2.0) + Pow(vector.Y, 2.0) + Pow(vector.Z, 2.0))
Normalize(vector:vector3):vector3=
    Mag := Magnitude(vector)
    return vector3{X := vector.X/Mag, Y := vector.Y/Mag, Z:= vector.Z/Mag}
dribble()<suspends> : void =
    loop:
        ballTransform := ball.GetTransform().Translation
        MoveTime := 0.001
        if(PlayerList := GetPlayspace().GetPlayers(), FortniteCharacter := PlayerList[0].GetFortCharacter[]):
            PlayerPosition : vector3 = FortniteCharacter.GetTransform().Translation
            PlayerRotation := FortniteCharacter.GetTransform().Rotation
            PlayerYawPitchRoll := PlayerRotation.GetYawPitchRollDegrees()
            if(NewYaw := PlayerYawPitchRoll[0] - 90.0):
                if(CorrectedPlayerRotation := MakeRotationFromYawPitchRollDegrees(NewYaw, PlayerYawPitchRoll[1], PlayerYawPitchRoll[2])):
                    PlayerLocalForward := CorrectedPlayerRotation.GetLocalForward()
                    Normalized_Forward_Vector := Normalize(PlayerLocalForward)
                    Dist := 10.0
                    Target_Location : vector3 = vector3:
                        X := Normalized_Forward_Vector.X * Dist
                        Y := Normalized_Forward_Vector.Y * Dist
                        Z := Normalized_Forward_Vector.Z * Dist
                    ball.MoveTo(Target_Location, PlayerRotation, MoveTime)
# Runs when the device is started in a running game
OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    dribble()

also, I have removed the prop_loc + from the X, Y and Z variables because the ball drifts slowly in one direction and doesn’t follow anything. Now all it does is sink into the ground and rotate towards the player, but not move towards the player.
