Prop Mover Devices | Fortnite Creative Documentation

The Prop Mover can be attached to any building piece, terrain piece, or other prop large enough for players to stand on. You can even attach it to devices! The preview sphere will turn green when it is near a prop or device it can attach to.

You can set the movement direction by rotating the Prop Mover device. When paired with other devices, you can expand the uses for this device to create intricate puzzles and traversal problems for players to solve. Here are some examples for how you can use this device:

Use a Button, Conditional Button, or Switch device to signal the Prop Mover to stop, start, or change direction.
Use the Prop Manipulator with the Prop Mover to create smoother stop-motion animation.
Use the Prop Manipulator, the Prop Mover, and multiple copies of a prop piece to flip or turn a moving prop so that sometimes it's safe to jump on, and sometimes it isn't safe to jump on.
Place an Objective device or Capture Area device on a moving platform to make protecting these more challenging.
Place prop targets on moving platforms to create a more sophisticated shooting gallery.
Use the Prop Mover to simulate magical or psychic effects like levitation or telekinesis.
Recreate your favorite platformer games, with collectible objects placed on top of platforms and stationary props for players to scoop up.
Add moving platforms to a skillrun or adventure game, to make it even more challenging.

To find the Prop Mover device, see Using Devices.

If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.

Contextual Filtering

Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This reduces clutter in the Customize panel and makes options easier to manage and navigate. To help identify them, values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic.

All options are listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about it in the Description field for that option.

Device Options

This device has some basic functionality, like setting the distance the prop will travel, and how fast it will go. Additionally, there are some advanced options, like how the moving prop affects other props, players, or AI enemies.

Direct Event Binding

Direct event binding allows devices to communicate directly, which makes your workflow more intuitive, and gives you more freedom to focus on your design ideas.

Below are the following direct event binding options for this device.

Functions

A function listens for an event on a device then performs an action.

For any function, click the option, then Select Device to access and select from the Device dropdown menu.
Once you've selected a device, click Select Event and select the event that triggers this function.
If more than one device or event triggers a function, press the Add button to add a line and repeat these steps.

Option	Description
Enable When Receiving From	This function enables the device when an event occurs.
Disable When Receiving From	This function disables the device when an event occurs.
Start When Receiving From	This function starts the prop moving when an event occurs.
Stop When Receiving From	This function interrupts the prop's movement when an event occurs.
Reset When Receiving From	This function resets the device, returning the prop to its original position, when an event occurs.
Advance When Receiving From	When an event occurs, this function advances the prop forward based on the device's default direction, ignoring the prop's previous movement.
Reverse When Receiving From	When an event occurs, this function reverses the prop's movement.
Rotate Clockwise When Receiving From	This function rotates the prop clockwise when an event occurs.
Rotate Counter Clockwise When Receiving From	This function rotates the prop counterclockwise when an event occurs.

Events

Direct event binding uses events as transmitters. An event tells another device to perform a function.

For any event option, click the option, then Select Device to access and select from the Device dropdown menu.
Once you've selected a device, click Select Function to bind the event to a function for that device.
If more than one function is triggered by the event, press the Add button and repeat.

On Movement Start Send Event To	When the prop starts moving, an event is sent to the selected device.
On Movement Interrupted Send Event To	When the prop's movement is interrupted, an event is sent to the selected device.
On Movement Finish Send Event To	When a prop finishes moving, an event is sent to the selected device.
On Enabled Send Event To	When the device is enabled, an event is sent to the selected device.
On Disabled Send Event To	When the device is disabled, an event is sent to the selected device.
