Prop Movers are bugged and they spin/rotate instead of going into the chosen direction

Summary

Hi,

Since the new Chapter update almost all the Prop Movers are bugged. Instead of moving the prop in the chosen direction, they only start rotating and dont move.

I noticed this happens when activating the prop mover with a button, or a switch or a conditional button.

Please, we need to know when will this be fixed, this issue has ruined all my maps and is ruining the new maps that i was about to launch.

Additional Notes

In the 7th level of the 100 escape room, you can reproduce the bug when trying to activate the conditional button. The props intead of moving up, they start rotating.

Hi!
I too am having an identical problem!
I was wondering if you came across a work around considering its been a week or two since posting your issue?
I would hugely appreciate you sharing a solution if you found one, but if it is still occurring for you then I guess we’re both in a bit of trouble :((

I wonder if the prop your are moving or any of its children is already rotated in any way

Hi latunda,
the props themselves that I am trying to move have NO prior rotation.
As Fury Peek said too, “they only start rotating and dont move.”
What makes this so confusing is that the prop mover device its self is NOT MEANT to be able to rotate an actor/prop, but instead only translate it along an axis (of which way that the device is facing)
Let me know if that gives you anymore suggestions on solving this problem, i have a feeling its a bug down to epic to solve rather than one that has come up by my own error.

It is just we used prop mover a lot, it was working as expected. It takes time to repro and fix things. I hoped there was a quick workaround to unblock everyone experiencing the issue.

I have the same problem, really annoying! it works 50% of the time and the other 50% my props start doing random 360%

Yes the same by me too. If u place Prop Mover on a floor, if u want to move it from a to b its working on the first round, but if u try another round. the floor is placed another spot and bugged.

The very same issue with one of my maps as well …

hope they get a fix or workaround for this soon

I have the same issue and it’s still not fixed
