Summary
VFX Powerup Device does not display Custom Effect for other players even though:
- Selected Class = Any
- Selected Team = Any
- Apply = Player
- Who can see this powerup = All
- Team Relationship Visibility = Everyone
Effect IS visible and spawns correctly for a local player.
Checked burst spawn, spawn rate and different loop settings for both Niagara Emitters and System itself.
Problems started to appear after recent updates. First they stopped working for Players joining mid-session. In the next patch they stopped working for any player that’s not the Owner.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a custom Niagara System based off of Infinite Particle Lifetime template.
- set Emitter to use local space and scale Initial size 5x
- Add to world Visual Effect Powerup device with given settings:
- created Custom Effect as our spawned affect
- Selected Class = Any
- Selected Team = Any
- Apply = Player
- Who can see this powerup = All
- Team Relationship Visibility = Everyone
- Custom Effect Socket = Base (or any really)
- Add Trigger to world.
- Create a Verse Device using that code:
"using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
test_vfx_device := class(creative_device) :
@editable TestTrigger : trigger_device = trigger_device{}
@editable TestVFXPowerup : visual_effect_powerup_device = visual_effect_powerup_device{}
OnBegin<override>()<suspends> : void =
Sleep(0.0)
TestTrigger.TriggeredEvent.Subscribe(AttachVFX)
AttachVFX(MaybeAgent : ?agent) : void =
if(Agent := MaybeAgent?):
TestVFXPowerup.Pickup(Agent)"
- Compile and plug VFX and trigger device
- Run a game with at least 2 players
- Walk into the trigger using one character.
- Notice that only Triggering player sees the VFX
Expected Result
Both Players should see VFX attached to Picking character.
Observed Result
Only Owner of VFX sees particle
