Spray Emotes always show "Not Ready Yet" in UEFN Edit Mode but work correctly in Creative 1.0

Summary

Spray Emotes cannot be used while editing a UEFN island. Every time I try to use a Spray Emote, the game displays “Not Ready Yet”.

The exact same account, sprays and controls work perfectly in the normal Fortnite Creative 1.0 edit mode.

This seems to be a UEFN-only issue.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Gameplay

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any UEFN project.
  2. Launch an Edit Session.
  3. Enter Edit Mode.
  4. Open the Emote Wheel.
  5. Select any Spray Emote.
  6. “Not Ready Yet” appears.

Expected Result

Spray Emotes should work normally in UEFN Edit Mode, just like they do in Fortnite Creative 1.0. The selected spray should be placed on walls and other valid surfaces without showing the “Not Ready Yet” message. The sprays should remain visible during the edit session.

Observed Result

Spray Emotes cannot be used at all.

Instead, every Spray Emote immediately shows the message “Not Ready Yet”.
