Parkour Elimination 2 Pre-Game Area in Unreal Editor for Fortnite | Fortnite Documentation

Devices used:

Begin by giving each player their own starting room. Each of these rooms will have 1 Player Spawner, 1 Item Spawner and 1 Teleporter. The player will need to grab a coin, read the HUD message, and understand the importance of the currency — not taking the coin would make the player unable to buy a weapon in the elimination arena! Make it impossible for the player not to take the coin before entering the teleporter.

Player Spawners #1 to #4

In the Content Browser, navigate to Fortnite > Devices and select Player Spawner. Drag the device onto your level and place it at the back of the player room.

Configure the User Options for the first spawner:

Option	Value	Explanation
Priority Group	"1": primary	This is an important setting as there are secondary Player Spawners in the elimination arena. When these get disabled, players will spawn there instead. Primary means that they are picked first if that group exists.
Visible During Game	False	Hides the base of the Spawner during gameplay.

Item Spawners #1 to #4

Place the Item Spawner in a location that cannot be avoided. All four rooms can use an identical finished Item Spawner — they have no settings that need to be incremented.

Configure the device's User Options as follows:

Option	Value	Explanation
Items Respawn	False	The item registered to the item spawner does not respawn.
Base Visible During Game	False	The base is not visible during gameplay.
Time Before First Spawn	0	The first spawn happens at the start of the round.
Respawn Item on Timer	False	Only 1 coin will ever be spawned.
Run Over Pickup	On	There's no need to hit an interact button to get the coin, and more importantly, it prevents the player from skipping it.
Item Scale	2.0	Makes the coin a bit bigger so it's not possible to avoid picking it up.

Register a single gold coin to this spawner: scroll down to Item List, then press +, expand Index, and search for Gold to select the coin.

Teleporters #1 to #4

There is a teleporter at the end of each starting room. All four rooms can use an identical finished Teleporter as they do not have any incremental settings.

Find and place the Teleporter device behind the Item Spawner and configure the device's User Options as follows:

Option	Value	Explanation
Teleporter Group	Group None	The group that the teleportation network belongs to. As it only sends to Group D, it doesn't need one of its own.
Teleport Target Group	Group D	The teleport network that entering this will send you to. This is set to the single teleporter inside the starting room.

HUD Message #1 to #4

Each HUD Message device is linked to one of the Player Spawners, and will play a brief instructional message when the player spawns in.

Find and place the HUD Message device on top of the central starting area, and configure the User Options as follows:

Option	Value	Explanation
Message	Grab the Coin, enter the Teleporter, and race to the finish!	The message played upon spawning in.
Message Recipient	Triggering Player	Only the triggering player sees the message.
Show on Round Start	False	It will not automatically play when the match starts.

Teleporter #5

Here is the decorated starting room for the race. Note the teleporter in the middle square of the 3x3 block. It is set up as follows:

Option	Value	Explanation
Teleporter Group	Group D	This is the group that the teleporters inside the player start rooms are linked to, so all of them will be sent to the same one.
Teleporter Target Group	Group None	This teleporter doesn't go anywhere. It's only meant to drop players into this room.
Teleporter Rift Visible	False	The teleporter is invisible.
Play Visual Effects	False	There's no visual effect needed for the teleporter.
Play Sound Effects	False	No sound effects are needed for the teleporter.
Conserve Momentum	False	The player is dropped from a standing start above it, so running and jumping in won't affect the teleportation.
Face Player In Teleporter Direction	Yes	They are faced toward the tunnel leading out into the parkour starting area.

Device A	Function	Device B	Event	Explanation
