Due to this issue, we are needing to do workarounds to place specific prefabs in the world:

• For prefab assets that we make, is a little easy, since we can navigate to the content browser folder and just dragging them to the world should already work.

• For Itemization items from Fortnite, it is way more complex, to add a single item to the world we need to:

  1. Add a random “dummy” entity of any type to the world
  2. Right click that entity on the outliner
  3. Go to “Add Entity” submenu, search and select the entity we want
  4. Go to the added entity, unparent it from the “dummy” entity
  5. Delete the “dummy” entity since it is not needed anymore
