Unable to move Barrier Devices since the last update.

Summary

Ever since the last update, I believe it went live today along with the new season, there was a change made to the Barrier Device. This change removed the barrier device’s base, in favor of a new floating icon. In one of my Creative Maps, made with UEFN, I had a Prop Mover device attached to the base of the Barrier Device. This essentially helped me make a vertical “storm” for a floor is lava map. This method worked as intended in the past. However, since the latest update, this mechanic is no longer working. I am yet to spend a lot of time in UEFN to troubleshoot, however from what I have seen so far, I believe the root of the issue is that the barrier device no longer has a “Physical” base to attach the Prop Mover device to.

We’ll get someone to check into this.

Hey, can you try adjusting your prop mover to overlap where the new icon is on the barrier rather than where they base was? I am curious if that will work to address your issue in the immediate term?

Just checked and that won’t work. Until we can get a fix in can you try moving the device with the MoveTo function in verse?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and attempt to rectify the situation. Yes, I did try to move the Prop Mover to the icon, and as you said it did not work. I apologies for not mentioning that in my initial post.

I have actually never thought about the Verse method, but I’m sure to give it a try. I do wish the changes can be reverted in the name of simplification. Thank you soo much for your assistance.

Do have a great day!
