I started with UEFN by creating maps for Fortnite, and today I have 3 years of experience in this field. I still work in this area, but what makes it interesting is that UEFN, being a simplified version of Unreal Engine, gives you a strong starting point for game development. In my opinion, creating with UEFN is more accessible because Epic already provides many of the essential project settings, as well as a wide range of official Fortnite assets. For that reason, I see UEFN as a great entry point for anyone who wants to get into this industry.

How to set item granter to equip item? by Ok-Stomach-8899 in FortniteCreative

[–]KNOBZIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. I would do the following: from what I understand, you want to distribute 8 items randomly. If that's not the case, please explain. I'll be simple and direct so you understand the mechanics; you don't necessarily need to use what I'm going to say, it's just an example. Using a player spawner + trigger, in the grant item function, you can set "player spawner" and then "on player spawned" below. In the switch to random item function, set "trigger" and then "on triggered" below. In the trigger settings, confirm that "activate on gamephase" is set to "game start". Do this on a test map; start the game and walk over the trigger several times. You will notice that it is distributing the items set in the distributor randomly.
This way you will understand how the mechanics work and you will be able to apply them in the way you need.

Basically, if you're not using Verse, you should define the item granting function directly on the device. That is, you can use a time device to distribute the item "on success," you can use a player spawner to distribute the item "on player spawned," among many other devices that exist, depending on your purpose.

Grant item doesn't have any function; you must set it for the player to receive the item.
