The basic storm controller device has an issue with setting Wait Time. The countdown does not update on the minimap. It will only show if a zone has been shrinking and you generate a new zone, only then the timer counts down. But I think the countdown uses the zone shrinking icon instead of the timer icon, so that is another bug.

HI @FinestCreative ,
Hi! I did some research and it looks like this is actually a known bug.
When you update the Storm Device’s wait time using other runtime methods, the storm itself updates correctly, but the minimap doesn’t reflect the new value. The minimap seems to only read the initial configuration of the Storm Device at game start and doesn’t refresh dynamically during runtime.
This behavior has been reported by other users in the forums:
As of now, there doesn’t seem to be any workaround that forces the minimap to update after the match has started.
I recommend reporting the bug on the following page: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/
Hope it helps!!!
