Sedan Spawner Devices | Fortnite Creative Documentation

The Sedan Spawner is a device that spawns a sedan vehicle your island at the spawner's given location and orientation.

Use Sedan Spawner devices in combination with the Race Checkpoint Device to design a racing game for your players.
You can place a player directly inside the sedan using a trigger.

Finding and Placing the Device

From Create mode, press the Tab key to open the CREATIVE inventory screen.
Click the DEVICES tab and scroll to select the device. You can also use the Search box or the Categories panel on the left to find your device.
Click PLACE NOW to place immediately, or put the device in the QUICK BAR to place later.
Press Esc to return to your island in Create mode. Use your phone tool to position the device, then left-click to place it. Press Esc to detach the device from your phone.
Point at the device with your phone. If the CUSTOMIZE popup doesn't open immediately, move closer until it does, then press E to open the CUSTOMIZE panel.

It's helpful to customize device names when you use multiple copies of the same device.

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 feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate.

However, it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering. To help you identify them, in our device docs we use italic for any values that trigger contextual filtering. All options will be 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 that in the Description field for that option.

Device Options

This device has some basic functionality, like boost regen and whether the radio is enabled. Additionally, there are some advanced options, like whether the sedan vehicle takes damage from collisions, how much damage it can take before being destroyed, and how much damage it deals when it explodes.

You can configure this device with the following options.

Default values are bold. Values that trigger contextual filtering are italic.

Channels

When one device needs to "talk" to another device, it does so by transmitting a signal on a specific channel. The receiving device needs to be set up to receive the signal on the same channel.

A channel is identified by a number, and channel numbers are customized for a device under the option that uses the channel. Most devices will also pass the identity of the player who triggered the device with the signal.

When the Sedan Spawner device receives a signal on a channel, it can be enabled or disabled, can spawn or destroy a vehicle, and assign a driver. It can transmit a signal on a channel when a player enters or exits the vehicle, and when the vehicle is spawned or destroyed.

Receivers

Receivers listen for a channel and perform an action when they hear any device (including themselves) send a signal on that channel.

Option	Value	Description
Assigns Driver When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel	Sets the player that instigated the signal as the spawned vehicle's driver
Respawn Vehicle When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel	Spawns a new vehicle after receiving a signal on the selected channel. The existing vehicle will be destroyed before a new vehicle spawns.
Destroy Vehicle When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel	When receiving a signal on the selected channel, the spawned vehicle is destroyed if it exists.
Enable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel	When a signal is received on the selected channel, the Sedan Spawner is enabled.
Disable When Receiving From	No Channel, Pick a channel	When a signal is received on the selected channel, the Sedan Spawner is disabled.

When Player Exits Vehicle Transmit On	No Channel, Pick a channel	Transmits a signal on the selected channel when a player exits the spawned vehicle.
