As a workaround for this problem, I started using the map indicator device instead.

However, with the 29.30 update, I discovered a new bug. The objective pulse does not show up for any device (map indicator and objective device) for the first 2ish minutes of a fresh server, by that I mean a newly run private code or after I had just pushed changes.

On accident, I discovered a way to “jumpstart” the objective pulse by activating the pulse over and over again using something like this:

If you don’t want to use verse, you can activate with a bunch of triggers or something.

As of 29.30, the deactivate objective pulse for the objective device still does not function. Map indicator is still the workaround for this problem.

Thank you for all the info TomJank! Sharing this where I can!

Another workaround that seems to work for me, besides activating it 20 times, is to activate it through a button device or a switch.

We’re taking a look at this one.

I’m also still seeing issues with the objective pulse failing to activate.

In my testing this issue was present irrespective of device type, objective and map indicators.

Also in testing, I have found that a simple secondary triggering of the pulse was successful.

I suspect the reverse is a possibility, but I haven’t tried.

Here’s the min-repro code I used to verify the issue and the work-around:

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }
hello_world_device := class(creative_device):
    @editable Ob:objective_device=objective_device{}
    @editable Mi:map_indicator_device=map_indicator_device{}
    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        Sleep(1.0)
        Players:=GetPlayspace().GetPlayers()
        if:
            Players.Length>0
            Player:=Players[0]
        then:
            Ob.ActivateObjectivePulse(Player)
            Mi.ActivateObjectivePulse(Player)
            # with these lines commented out, no pulse
            # double triggering: succeeds
            #Sleep(1.0)
            #Ob.ActivateObjectivePulse(Player)
            #Mi.ActivateObjectivePulse(Player)
        else:
            spawn:
                OnBegin()

I’ve found that Map Indicators Objective Pulse works great with 1-3 players but when 4 or more players in the map, they stop working entirely. I can’t get the objective pulse to appear.

No code changed only the number of players.

And it doesn’t work for ANY of the players. Not just players 4+

I just tries it in an empty lobby and it does not work.

I can confirm this does not work even activating it several times

11

Also seeing issues with the objective pulse failing to activate, particularly if “Show Objective Pulse To Instigator Only” is on.

12

as a work around i use the capture area and set a timer to activate the pulse after 10 seconds in the game and that works. Its a issue tbh the map indicator doesnt work for me at all so dunno what is happening.

As of Oct 16th:
Objective Pulses still broken with simple triggers
Objective device and map indicators take a while to even show up on a freshly pushed session
Objective device pulses can’t be removed. Map indicator pulses can.

We really need a fix for this, as a map creator this device is very important.

Still broken

Update 32.00
Objective Pulse does not require the jumpstart anymore to show up, but the objective pulse still does not turn off.
Map Indicator pulse still works as expected
